Real-world fuel consumption
15,137 Renault Twingo cars registered in Europe between 2021 and 2024 report their fuel use through the on-board meter. Petrol versions average 6.2 l/100 km on the road, against 5.1 l/100 km in the official WLTP test — 20% more.

Litres per 100 km: total fuel used divided by total distance driven, from the car's own fuel consumption meter (OBFCM), collected in 2024 by the manufacturers, mostly remotely, and by national authorities. WLTP figures are the type-approval CO₂ values converted to litres. Hybrids, including mild hybrids, do not plug in; plug-in hybrid figures include the distance driven on electricity.

EU safety alerts
Safety Gate, the European Union's rapid alert system, names the Twingo in 9 alerts. European versions can differ from the North American car.
The outer skin of the bonnet may not be properly connected to its structure.As a result, it could become detached while driving, increasing the risk of an accident. The product does not comply with the requirements laid down in the Regulation on the approval a…
The durability of the front left steering knuckle may be insufficient. The knuckle could consequently deteriorate affecting the steering of the vehicle.
Due to possible breaking of the welds, there is a risk of the outer covering of the bonnet detaching while driving.
The covering of the spoiler might come loose and pieces of the tailgate glass may detach while driving.
The fixing device for the rear bench seat may break in the event of a frontal collision, with a potential risk of any luggage in the boot entering the front of the vehicle.
The engine can be started through the activation of the starter with the ignition key when the vehicle is not placed in park or neutral. This could lead to the vehicle moving unexpectedly which could cause an accident.
The welds of the bracket of the anti-roll bar rod on the front shock absorber could rupture which would lead to degradation of the handling of the vehicle during cornering.
The buckle latch of the front and rear seat belts has insufficient strength and could fail in the event of a frontal collision.
There is a risk of inadvertent activation of the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) while driving. The vehicle could accelerate inadvertently or fail to decelerate.
