For Bhambra, it&#8217;s simple: the Twingo has always had one job. As much space inside, on as little space outside as possible. &#8220;That idea still works. A Twingo must remain recognizable: practical, playful, but practical.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-content\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"642\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Renault-Twingo-E-Tech-2026-Concept-6-1140x642.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-207385\"><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>More leg room, smart back seat<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The new Twingo is not only compact, but also more cleverly laid out. &#8220;The demo was on a shortened R5 chassis, which limited legroom. In the production version, we fixed that. Note the back seat: it is enormously practical. It can be folded down in two parts \u00e1nd it&#8217;s movable. Unprecedented in this segment. People don&#8217;t expect that anymore, but it&#8217;s just part of the Twingo.&#8221; <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"720\" height=\"1080\" data-id=\"207391\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Renault-Twingo-E-Tech-2026-Concept-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-207391\"><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"720\" height=\"1080\" data-id=\"207390\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Renault-Twingo-E-Tech-2026-Concept-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-207390\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Affordable and electric<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The compact city car is going to be Renault&#8217;s entry-level electric car, with a starting price of less than 20,000 euros. How will they do it? Bhambra: &#8220;Smaller battery pack, so less range, but also a much lower price. Perfect for the city and short drives outside. Smart parking, lots of space inside and affordable electric driving. The <a href=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/van-concept-tot-comeback-hoe-de-nieuwe-renault-4-tot-stand-kwam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new Renault R4<\/a> is more for families.

That concept car is now coming out of the factory almost one-to-one. In addition, I lead Advanced Design. All production cars come through my studio. Also concepts and specials, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/waarom-renault-ineens-een-supercar-in-productie-neemt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">5 Turbo 3E.<\/a>&#8221;     <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-content\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"760\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Renault-Goodwood-110-1140x760.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-207388\"><figcaption><strong>Sandeep Bhambra in conversation with the author<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Playful, but not crazy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Twingo remains a cheerful car, but without bland frills. &#8220;We like playful details, as long as they are usable and light. It should be a fine car for every day, not a gimmick. The concept already had five doors and it will stay that way. The production car is more spacious and practical. Exactly what we wanted.&#8221; <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-content\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1140\" height=\"642\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Renault-Twingo-E-Tech-2026-Concept-1-1140x642.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-207389\"><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Small outside, big inside<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>So the return of the compact Renault is not a retro trip according to Bhambra, but a clever translation to now.
