2015 Renault Twingo UK specs and prices

UK prices for the third-generation Twingo are going to start from less than £9,500 when sales begin this September. How that compares to the new Smart forfour is still unknown, but it's an important benchmark because both models share the same underpinnings and they'll be built at the same factory in Slovenia.

The entry-level trim grade is the Expression. Standard specification includes Bluetooth connectivity, LED daytime running lights, electric front windows, four airbags and electronic stability control. Also fitted is the 'R&Go' system which is smartphone-controlled and allows access to navigation and other multimedia functions.

Slightly better equipped is the Play variant, as it also features air conditioning and height adjustment for the steering wheel and driver's seat. Topping the range is the Dynamique which gains a few extra luxuries such as cruise control, lane departure warning, heated door mirrors and a set of 15” alloy wheels.

As is virtually compulsory for city cars nowadays, Renault is planning to offer numerous personalisation options. These tend to focus on exterior and interior colours, but several packs and an electric panoramic fabric sunroof are also going to be available.

Buyers are set to have a choice of two rear-mounted three-cylinder engines. A normally-aspirated 1.0 litre unit produces 69 bhp (51 kW / 70 PS), while the turbocharged 0.9 litre alternative boasts 88 bhp (66 kW / 90 PS) despite having a smaller displacement.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
