The Renault Twingo is a city car made by the French company Renault since 1992 across three generations. The name is a portmanteau of twist, swing, and tango.[1]
The first-generation Twingo (two door, front engine) debuted at the Paris Motor Show on 5 October 1992, receiving its formal market launch in continental European markets beginning in April 1993. Renault launched the second-generation Twingo (two door, front engine) in the summer of 2007 – and the third-generation Twingo (four door, rear engine) debuted at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, receiving its formal market launch in September 2014. Production of the Twingo ended in the summer of 2024, to be replaced by the upcoming, all-electric Renault Twingo E-Tech.[2]
