The new Renault Twingo electric model features a panoramic glass roof.

The new electric Twingo will feature a new option: a panoramic glass roof. But we would have preferred the return of the folding canvas roof!

A few months after its arrival at dealerships, the electric Twingo gets its first update, called Twingobay. Behind this name lies a panoramic glass roof.

This glass roof has an original design with a capsule-shaped outline, an aesthetic theme that appears in various parts of the Twingo, such as on the dashboard. The glass surface measures 0.7 m2, which is more than enough to flood the small cabin with light and enhance the interior space. The roof’s inner surface features the Twingo graphic alphabet, visible from inside the cabin.

Renault has opted out of using a sunroof. The brand explains that “the multi-layer glass technology maintains occupant comfort in all seasons, as 99.9% of UV rays are filtered out, most incoming infrared radiation is blocked, and a low-emissivity layer helps keep a high level of thermal comfort inside the vehicle in both summer and winter.”

Announced at the World Motor Show, this feature will be available for ordering starting October 13, with prices ranging from 550 to 600 euros depending on the market. Quite reasonable.

If this equipment is appreciated, we also hoped for the arrival of a convertible variant with a canvas roof, as was the case on the previous generation of the Twingo, especially since the R4 has just received such an option in its Plein Sud version. But maybe a Twingo Plein Sud is on the way!

It’s worth noting that, like on other Renault models equipped with the OpenR Link system integrated with Google, Gemini, Google’s AI assistant, is now available in the Twingo as part of an optional over-the-air update for Google Assistant.
