Most of the points (Likes and Dislikes) I agree. Two things I want to mention: I think 82 HP are enough for this small (City)-Car (no irony!). The acceleration in your video was 11.7 sec. from 0-100 although Renault gives 12.9 sec. Thats absolut okay I believe andby the way: e-Up has the same power. Second thing is, the run out of juice that happened. It is definitely frightening when the BMS says you have 10% SOC and in fact battery is empty, make no mistake! And Renault have to fix that a.s.a.p. But: at the beginning in your video you consider to charge for the 130km/h-round up to 80% - and you were not sure if that is enough. Actually you charged up to (only) 70%. So, when we do the maths there are about 15 kWh availabe with 70%. The consumption by 130 km/h, which is nearly Top-speed for the car, should be around 26-30 kw, I assume. So in my view the calculation was to optimistic - despite the false display in the car. But anyway: thanks a lot for your tests and good informations with / about the Twingo!
Thank you, another good video. It would be interesting to see if the Twingo stops at 10% again or whether it was just an anomaly. I suggest you do the 13-11% in a car park with chargers though! 😉😂
e-Up and the triplets rule - available in Germany from summer again cause they have not sold 31 kWh battery + 40 kW CCS charging versus 21 kWh and 22 AC only e-Up has no battery cooling, but bigger battery let the e-Up do the 500km in 6 hours versus 9 hours of torture in the twingo. Proof: watch Chris how exhausted he had been at arrival - but 500 km achieved price 24.000 versus 23.800 but the e-Up is better equiipped, better built quality and for 150€ you will get a better and bigger 10 inch GPS Android 10 tablet than what the twingo display can offer. You can use the VW connect app on the left third like a phone and put ABRP in the right window next to it which would be a square on a 16 : 9 aspect ratio tablet. and Renault dealer and their service are famous for poor quality, over pricing and the worst lease return I had ever seen No doubt that the e-Up sibllings rock and also offer a bit more space cause they are everywhere a bit bigger, which is recogniceable if you jump from 1 car into the other and are 1,80 m tall. e-Up feels good regarding size, but Twingo is on paper longer and wider, but the cabin inside feels way smaller caused by the cabin design with a sloap where the door windows come closer to the head and ears which will also make them more noisier. On top the shape of the C-pillar and an early beginning slope curved roof with a small trunk looks like nicely designed for someone that buys such car for the curves --- it is a design that fools. The Twingo lost cause the Twingo has lost its roots of the early 90s: price and famous ONE BOX design while the e-Up is closer to the one box design than ever and got the space. While the Onebox Twingo was a car for all gender and ages the new Electric one seems to be attractive for women only cause I have not seen a man driving that - quite the opposite to the Smart for 2. and 23.800€ is the last nail in the coffin regardless how many discounts Renault dealer might offer. Our 2nd e-Up will be produced in May and delivered in June just 1 year after order for 13.475€ a fully equipped UNITED that was 25.700€
Fair summary. The new Twingo shape is stylish but lacks the practicality of the original Twingo and the Renault 4 & 6. The Twingo is now more like the small Renault 4CV from the 1950s. The Renault KZE which will be sold in Europe as the Dacia Spring is a more practical shape but it is very basic and low powered. Hence the Spring will suit Dacia buyers looking for the least expensive transport. The e-Up triplets will appeal to a wider range of drivers.
realy dont get how renault got the idea that every citydweller has a dedicated parkingspace with a charger? 22kw charging is completely useless for 90% of citypeople that have to drive somewhere to charge and then stand there for a freakin hour every week. wtf?

Hello neighbour (Hallo Nachbar) it is me again always fun to watch some car talk.

Don't have it anymore.

OMG, you reviewers complain so much - go and drive Dacia Spring and then talk about Twingo or eUP
I have driven eUp and Twingo. Those are cars. This Dacia is not 😉

@@blackthorncane1841 i dont know anyone for whom even one of these exceptions would be true. i guess these are the things the other 10% have or do.
