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.

Saab 9-3 Aero Carlsson

Image
Saab has got experience of producing special editions in honour of rally driver Erik Carlsson, having previously named versions of the 900 and 9000 after him during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now it has decided to do it again, this time to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Swedish driver’s first win in Britain’s RAC Rally, which was achieved at the wheel of a Saab 96. Thankfully, the company has resisted the urge to just bung some fancy alloys and a few other extra bits onto something like a mid-range diesel model. Instead, it appears to have resurrected the limited edition Turbo X from a couple of years ago, as the new edition similarly features a turbocharged 2.8 litre petrol V6, Saab’s XWD all-wheel drive system and a six-speed automatic gearbox. The result is the 9-3 Aero Carlsson saloon, which turns out to be a very rapid car. With 276 bhp (205 kW / 280 PS) and a healthy 400 Nm of torque, the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) dash takes just 6.9 seconds. But it’s in the mid-range t...

American spec Fiat 500

Image
Fiat has released the first details and images of the North American specification 500. The tiny city car will be available in Pop, Lounge and Sport trim levels, and is distinguished from the European version by its more aggressive front and rear bumpers, bigger grille and flared sills. Another unique feature is the engine. Fiat has decided to use the 1.4 MultiAir unit currently found in models such as the Fiat Punto Evo and Alfa Romeo MiTo. Perhaps it felt that using the forthcoming two-cylinder TwinAir in the American 500 would have been too much for markets there to take? There’s no word yet on what power output the MultiAir will have, although in its current applications it comes with either 103 bhp (77 kW / 105 PS), 133 bhp (99 kW / 135 PS) or 167 bhp (125 kW / 170 PS). Similarly, prices have yet to be confirmed, but hopefully both details will have been sorted out by the time the order book for the 500 hatch opens later this year. For convertible fans, the 500C is due ...
