Renault Twingo II

More renderings of the Renault Twingo II, this time from the French magazine Auto Plus (front and rear). Also, more news of the dilemma facing Carlos Ghosn in deciding what to do with the heir to the popular Renault city car.
The Twingo II finds itself between a rock and a hard place. The Twingo was initially designed to be a small & chic city car, but the insuccess of the Modus and the success of the Dacia Logan has forced Renault to reconsider. Now, it will have to contend with rivals such as the triplets Toyota Aygo/Peugeot 107/Citroen C1, priced at 9.000 €, while the Dacia Logan starts from 7.500 €.
So: it is thought that the new Twingo will be a circa-9,000 € car, only petrol engines (1.2 with 60 & 75 hp), with the risk of finding it undercut by its poor sibling, the Logan. Add to that the dismal october sales figures for Renault/Nissan in Europe, and it’s once again time for Ghosn to show his mettle.
