The second generation of the Renault Twingo came on the market in 2007 and it offered a good solution for the urban mobility at an affordable price on a car-market that was sinking.
While the first generation became famous after picturing two sumo fighters aboard and out through the folded rooftop, the second generation came without that option. But it came well-equipped and with a better safety package.
The look of the car was enhanced by the addition of two fog-lights mounted up on the front bumper, mixing with the main headlights which were swept-back. The short hood was continued by the greenhouse, which was short. The entire car was short and with its flat and straight tailgate looked like someone cut the end of it. But that was the idea: a short car for the city with great rearview visibility to ease-up parking.
Inside, the 2007 Twingo carried-over the idea from its predecessor, with rear sliding seats. That allowed an increase for the trunk or legroom. Due to the high greenhouse, the headroom was not an issue even for adults over 6 feet (1.82m). The center-mounted instrument cluster looked funky and visible for all the passengers on board. There was an option for a tachometer mounted on the steering column, behind the steering wheel.
For the engine compartment, Renault offered a choice of two engines: a diesel and a gasoline, each of them in two power outputs. The only tranny available was a 5-speed manual.
