Twingo I (C06_), 03.1993 - 06.2007

The name "Twingo" originated from a fictional word. It combines the three terms Twist, Swing, and Tango.

It received a facelift in 1998 (painted front and rear bumpers and technical changes), but otherwise remained unchanged. In 2003, it was further enhanced with enhanced safety technology, improved brakes, and a new 1.2-liter 16V engine. Also new: The Initiale line with leather seats, standard air conditioning, and an optional navigation system.

The Twingo I was a commercial success. This was due to its still-contemporary design, excellent all-round visibility, the interior concept, and the folding roof available for an additional charge. Renault produced many special models of this car.
