Quick answer: The Renault Twingo E-Tech Electric is a compact five-door EV with a 27.5 kWh usable LFP battery, 60 kW (82 hp) motor and a claimed range of up to 263 km (163 miles) WLTP. In France, Renault announced prices starting at €19,490 for Evolution and €21,090 for Techno, before government incentives. A 6.6 kW AC charger is standard, with an optional 11 kW AC / 50 kW DC Advanced Charge Pack.
Market note: These are Renault’s officially announced French prices, not universal eurozone prices or confirmed UK on-the-road prices. Equipment, taxes, incentives and trim availability vary by country.
Renault Twingo E-Tech Electric 2026: key specifications

|---|---|
| Body | Five-door electric city hatchback |
| Length | 3.79 m |
| Battery | 27.5 kWh usable, LFP chemistry |
| Power | 60 kW / 82 hp |
| WLTP range | Up to 263 km (approximately 163 miles) |

These specifications come from Renault’s December 2025 pricing announcement and its 30 October 2026 product update. The quoted 263 km is an official laboratory-cycle figure, not a guaranteed everyday driving distance.
What is the 2026 Renault Twingo electric price?
Renault’s announcement sets the entry-level Evolution at €19,490 and the better-equipped Techno at €21,090 in France, with both figures shown before public incentives. Differences between markets can include taxes, delivery costs, charging options, colour and dealer charges.
Renault described potential French incentive-adjusted prices for qualifying buyers in its original announcement, but these are dependent on household eligibility and government rules. Comparing an incentive-adjusted French example directly with an unsubsidised price in another country would be misleading.
How far can the Twingo E-Tech Electric drive?
The official WLTP combined-cycle range is up to 263 km. Factors such as speed, air-conditioning use, road gradient, ambient temperature, tyre pressure and passenger load influence the result. City-focused EVs often perform differently on high-speed motorways than in low-speed traffic.
A practical journey should include a charging margin rather than assuming every kilometre of the official figure will be available. See our EV road-trip planning guide and range estimate explainer for real-world planning.
Does the Renault Twingo use an LFP battery?
Yes. Renault identifies a 27.5 kWh usable lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery. LFP is a lithium-ion chemistry that uses iron and phosphate in the cathode rather than nickel and cobalt. Chemistry influences supply chains and battery design, but it should not be used alone to claim identical lifespan or charging performance to another LFP-equipped vehicle.
For the global role of LFP cells, see our IEA-based LFP market report.
Charging: 6.6 kW AC standard, 50 kW DC optional
Both Evolution and Techno come with a 6.6 kW AC onboard charger as standard. Renault estimated around 4 hours 15 minutes for a 10–100% AC charging session under its specified conditions. Exact charging time depends on power supply, battery temperature, charge level and equipment.
Renault also offers an Advanced Charge Pack that includes 11 kW bidirectional AC charging and 50 kW DC charging. The manufacturer’s published estimate for 10–80% DC charging is 30 minutes, with figures originally identified as estimated pending homologation. As with other EVs, 50 kW is a maximum charging-power figure, not a constant speed throughout the session.
The optional 11 kW system is also described as supporting V2L and V2G. V2L can supply up to 3,700 W to a suitable external appliance using an approved adapter, while V2G requires compatible charging equipment and services. Check local eligibility and Renault’s current dealer specification for actual availability.

Evolution vs Techno: what are the differences?
The Evolution trim includes a 7-inch digital instrument display, 10-inch central multimedia screen with smartphone integration, manual air-conditioning, reversing sensors, active safety features and two individual sliding rear seats.
The Techno trim adds Renault’s OpenR Link with Google built-in, adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go, automatic climate control, a digital reversing camera and one-pedal driving. Renault has also discussed its optional Twingobay panoramic glass roof as part of the expanded range. Confirm the exact configuration and options with a local dealer because not all features or packages are offered identically in every market.
How practical is the 3.79-metre Twingo?
The Twingo E-Tech Electric is just 3.79 metres long, yet has five doors and two independent rear seats that can slide by up to 17 cm. Renault quotes luggage capacity of up to 360 litres in the appropriate seating configuration and up to two metres of load length using the folding front passenger seat. The maximum luggage volume is configuration-dependent, rather than the capacity in every seating position.
Is the Renault Twingo Electric a 2027 model?
The electric Twingo was offered for order in 2026 and was named one of the European Car of the Year 2027 finalists in Renault’s 30 October 2026 announcement. The award year describes the competition, not a statement that the vehicle only goes on sale in 2027. The winner is due to be announced on 8 January 2027.
Read our earlier coverage of the seven 2027 Car of the Year finalists for the full shortlist.
Who is the electric Twingo designed for?
Its compact footprint, sliding rear seats, relatively modest battery and official range position it as a city-focused vehicle. Buyers considering frequent long motorway journeys should verify their driving requirements, public charger access and whether the optional DC fast-charging package is included. This is a specifications-based buying guide, not a claimed hands-on road test.
