AutoZine Awards 2025

Concept Car of the Year

Renault Twingo E-tech
2025 is not lack of good concept cars. There are reimagined icons like DS (not Citroen) SM Tribute, beautiful designs like Chrysler Halcyon or futuristic like Honda 0 Series or Renault Embleme, yet none quite match the darling shape of Twingo E-tech. In terms of proportion or shape it is by all means practical for production - and the production car will arrive next year - but what sets it apart is the design details, such as those horseshoe head and tail-lights, protruding rear screen as well as the minimalist, smooth and uncluttered surfacing. The visual link with the original Twingo is just the icing on the cake. If Renault can meet its price and performance targets, it could be another hit after the R5.
