Detailed analysis of the Renault Twingo Intens Energy SCe 52 kW (70 CV) · 71 CV (2014-2018)
General description
The 2015 Renault Twingo, in its Intens Energy SCe 52 kW (70 hp) version, is presented as a fresh and bold proposal in the urban segment. With a price of €11,294, this small French car seeks to conquer the city with its agility and a design that does not go unnoticed. It is a car designed for everyday life, for those looking for practicality without giving up a touch of personality.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Twingo, the predominant sensation is one of agility. Its 71 hp gasoline engine, combined with a 5-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive, offers a surprisingly fun driving experience for a car of its size. The speed-sensitive electric power steering facilitates maneuvers in tight spaces, turning every parking into child's play. Although its acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 14.5 seconds is not dazzling, its lightness (940 kg) and its turning circle of only 8.59 meters make it a king in the urban environment. The combined consumption of 4.2 l/100km is a plus for the wallet.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2015 Twingo is, without a doubt, one of its strong points. With its 3595 mm long, 1646 mm wide and 1554 mm high, its proportions are compact and attractive. The 5 doors and 4 seats make it practical, while its 174-liter trunk, expandable to 219 liters, is sufficient for weekly shopping or a short getaway. The overall aesthetic is modern and casual, with lines that evoke dynamism and a unique personality that distinguishes it from its competitors. The 15-inch wheels, with 165/65 R15 tires at the front and 185/60 R15 at the rear, give it a firm stance and a balanced appearance.
Technology and features
Under the hood, the Twingo hides a 3-cylinder, 999 cc gasoline engine, with indirect injection and 4 valves per cylinder. Its rear transverse arrangement is a particularity that contributes to its excellent maneuverability. It incorporates Stop&Start technology to optimize consumption and reduce CO2 emissions, which stand at 95 g/km, giving it the DGT's C label. The McPherson type front suspension and the rigid De Dion axle rear suspension, along with ventilated disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear, ensure safe and predictable behavior. The rack and pinion steering with electric assistance is a success for the city.
Competition
In the competitive urban segment, the Renault Twingo faces tough rivals such as the Fiat 500, the Volkswagen Up!, the Hyundai i10 or the Citroën C1. Each with its own virtues, the Twingo stands out for its rear engine and rear-wheel drive configuration, which gives it superior agility in the city, and for a bolder and more youthful design. Its competitive price and low consumption are also strong arguments against the competition.
Conclusion
The 2015 Renault Twingo Intens Energy SCe 52 kW (70 hp) is a car that captivates with its personality and practical approach. It is the ideal companion for urban life, offering a combination of agility, attractive design and efficiency. Its rear engine and rear-wheel drive make it unique in its category, providing a fun and different driving experience. If you are looking for a small car, with character and that makes you smile on every journey, the Twingo is an option to seriously consider.
