Renault’s new €19,490 electric Twingo is getting a feature you’d normally expect on a much more expensive car: a huge panoramic glass roof.
It’s called Twingobay, and the glass panel covers 0.7 square metres of the roof, with rounded contours designed specifically around the shape of the new Twingo E-Tech electric.
Renault says the glass blocks 99.9% of UV rays and uses a multi-layer construction designed to manage heat without needing a conventional sunblind.
There’s also a playful detail around the edge of the glass: Renault has integrated a “Twingo graphic alphabet”, with shapes inspired by elements of the car’s design.
Mechanically, nothing changes.
The Twingo E-Tech electric still uses:
- 60 kW / 82 hp
- 27.5 kWh LFP battery
- up to 263 km WLTP
- 12.2 kWh/100 km claimed consumption
- AmpR Small platform
The new Twingo starts from €19,490 in France before incentives, although the panoramic roof is not included in that base price and Renault hasn’t revealed how much the Twingobay option will cost yet.
There are still some unanswered questions too: Renault hasn’t said how much extra weight the glass adds, whether it affects range, or what replacement costs might look like if the roof ever gets damaged.
Still, on a tiny city EV, a large glass roof could make the cabin feel considerably bigger.
Would you pay extra for this on a €20k city EV, or is a panoramic roof completely unnecessary on a car like the Twingo?
