Renault Twingo to make UK debut at Battersea
Renault’s all-new Twingo will arrive in the UK this weekend at a special event in London.
The compact city car, which is due to go on sale towards the end of this year, will make its UK debut at Renault’s rnlt London Battersea concept store on February 7 and remain on show until February 15.
The special event at Renault’s recently-opened “immersive retail space” on Battersea Power Station’s Electric Boulevard will give visitors an exclusive opportunity to see the only example of the new Twingo in the UK, ahead of planned orders opening later this year.
The “rnlt” location in Battersea is the French brand’s first UK concept store and is designed to provide a snapshot of the brand’s all-electric line-up including the Renault 4 and Renault 5, as well as showcase the marque’s culture and lifestyle merchandise in a busy retail environment.
David Isherwood, marketing director, Renault UK, said: “Twingo E-Tech electric is built for the city, so there’s no better place for its UK debut than rnlt London Battersea.
“Our concept store is designed to immerse visitors in Renault’s electric world, and this event gives guests the chance to experience Twingo up close for the first time in the UK – from its playful design to the smart technology that makes everyday electric driving even easier.
“It’s created a real stir since its official reveal in Paris in November, and with the original Twingo earning a real cult following, this new generation is set to follow in its footsteps.”
Pre-orders for the Twingo are open now via the R-Pass service, with full orders due to start later this year and first deliveries expected in late 2026/early 2027.
Renault says it is “targeting” a starting price of less than £20,000 for the A-segment hatchback, which will feature an 80bhp motor and deliver up to 163 miles of range from its 27.5kWh battery.
