Twingo form part of a wide choice of
Renault models across most of its range that meet
Renault’s strict eco2 criteria.
New
Twingo GT’s list of standard equipment also impresses compared to its competitors. Safety features such as front lateral airbags aren’t available on the Fiat, despite
Twingo being cheaper.
