Renault Twingo
The Renault Twingo is a city car made by the French company Renault from 1992 to 2024 across three generations. The name is said to be a blend of twist, swing, and tango in some official Renault sources, but an official Renault press release has explicitly denied this derivation. The first-generation Twingo (two door, front engine) debuted at the Paris Motor Show on 5 October 1992, receiving its formal market launch in continental European markets beginning in April 1993. Renault launched the second-generation Twingo (two door, front engine) in the summer of 2007; and the third-generation Twingo (four doors, rear engine) debuted at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, receiving its formal market launch in September 2014. Production of the Twingo ended in the summer of 2024, when the car was replaced by the all-electric Renault Twingo E-Tech.
