Renault introduced the third generation of the Twingo in 2014, and this time it was a major change for the mini segment vehicle.
The French automaker developed this new model together with Mercedes-Benz. The German automaker invested in this project for its Smart brand, which used the same underpinnings for the FourFour/FourTwo models. Another major evolution for the Twingo was the addition of rear doors. Its predecessors were only available as three-door hatchbacks.
But despite being offered with four doors (five if we count the tailgate), the 2014 Twingo was actually shorter than its predecessor. At the front, the automaker installed a pair of corner-mounted headlights with integrated turn signals and a wide and narrow grille where the carmaker's badge took center stage. On the bumper, the Renault installed the fog lamps, while lower, on the apron, it placed a second grille. Since the rear doors were very short, the automaker couldn't install roll-up windows, so it placed pop-out ones instead.
Depending on the trim level, the Twingo offered unusual amenities for its class, such as a power-operated folding sunroof. Yet, the entry-level grade didn't provide an AC unit, which was a shame. Another unusual feature of the car was a dash-mounted phone holder. Customers could install a dedicated app and use their own smartphones as a control panel for an infotainment system. The roomy interior was fit for four adults, although the rear seats were suitable mostly for children.
Despite being shorter than its predecessor, the third generation of the Twingo featured a longer cabin was longer, thanks to the rear-mounted engine. This was possible thanks to the rear-mounted engine, which also happened to reduce the trunk's volume. But still, it was enough for a daily. The base version didn't provide an AC, but the range-topper was available with a power-operated fabric roof.
Renault brought its inline-three engines to power the little Twingo. These were with or without turbochargers and provided 90 PS or 70 PS, respectively, and were mated to manual transmissions. Still, the automaker offered an option for an automatic gearbox for the lower-powered engine.
