Overview
The third-generation Twingo and the ForFour entered into production in May 2014 at in Novo Mesto, Slovenia, and were launched on the European market in September. Production ended in June 2024.
Design and development
In March 2010, Renault and Daimler, as part of their existing partnership, announced "Project Edison", a collaboration aimed at conceiving a shared platform for small city cars to be used by both companies. The Edison platform was designed from the start for mounting either an internal combustion engine or an electric motor as the main power source.
Equipment
The car originally offered four trim levels: Expression, Play, Dynamique, and Dynamique S, with various customization packs. One option connects a smartphone with an instrument panel cradle (R&Go) and has an infotainment system (R-Link). Other levels such as the "Energy" trim have since been added. The GT model arrived in November 2016.
Safety
As standard, the car incorporates tyre pressure sensors, seatbelt reminders, four airbags, and four head and chest side airbags. It achieved a four star Euro NCAP test rating in 2014.
