Renault's diminutive new Twingo will start at a relatively diminutive £8375 when it finally arrives in the UK in Spetember.
That means the base Twingo will cost more than the poshest Smart ForTwo, and more than any of the Citroen C1/Peugeot 107/Toyota Aygo triplets.
However, the base 1.2-litre 74bhp Twingo Dynamique undercuts the Citroen C2 1.4 (also with 74bhp) by £740 and the Fiat Panda 1.4 by £520.
Only two varieties of Twingo will be available in the UK, the 1.2 Dynamique and the GT 100, which will cost £9995 – bang on the power and price of the Fiat Panda 100HP.
The Dynamique gets 15-inch alloys, foglights and a CD radio; the GT adds air-con, sports suspension and dark-tinted rear windows.
Renault's trumpeting the Twingo's frugality and fun. The Dynamique claims a combined economy of 49.5mpg and CO2 outputs of 135g/km, and the GT 47.8 and 140g/km.
