The wait is nearly over. Renault's award-winning electric city car, Twingo E-Tech electric — affectionately known as 'Le Frog' — is on its way to Shelbourne Motors Renault, with a left-hand-drive preview car arriving on display ahead of general order books opening later this year.
We've had customers asking about Twingo since its reveal, and we're delighted it's on its way to Portadown for people to see up close, sit in and get a real feel for before ordering opens.
Twingo E-Tech electric has already picked up serious silverware before a single UK customer has driven one:
Judges praised its intelligent simplicity, efficiency, comfort and character — and the packaging behind it is genuinely clever.

A 27.5kWh LFP battery and 60kW electric motor target a WLTP range of up to 163 miles*, with One Pedal driving and OpenR Link with Google built-in available depending on version.
All that, targeting a starting price below £20,000.
Genuine demand is expected to be high — Twingo is following the same early enthusiasm we saw with Renault 5 E-Tech electric. If you want to be near the front of the queue when ordering opens, the Renault R Pass is available now for £100 and includes:
The Twingo E-Tech electric preview car will be on display at Shelbourne Motors Renault soon. In the meantime, speak to our team about securing your R Pass ahead of arrival.
