Renault’s Twingo city car range has been further bolstered by the addition of a new top-of-the-range model, the Dynamique S TCe 90. It features the previously optional ‘Sport Pack’ of exterior styling and interior trim embellishments as standard, and is powered by the 90 hp 0.9-litre TCe turbocharged petrol engine fitted to the former top model, the Dynamique TCe 90.
Standard features on the Dynamique S include an aluminium pedal set, red/black part leather upholstery and a red interior touch pack. The exterior lines are set off by 16-inch sport diamond-cut alloy wheels, matt black side decals and an exterior touch pack in red, with white as a no-cost option. The red interior touch pack adds stylish finishing touches to the steering wheel, centre console and air vents, while the exterior touch pack does the same for the front grille insert, door mirrors and side door protectors.
The Dynamique S also comes with LED daytime running lights, front foglamps, electric heated door mirrors, cruise control, a lane departure warning system, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and gearshift knob, air conditioning and white instrument backlighting. As with every new Twingo, it has electric power steering, electric front windows, a trip computer and gear change indicator, a lane-change function for the indicators and automatic activation of the rear screen wiper when reverse gear is selected.
Practicality is ensured by the unique-in-segment folding front passenger seat and a split-folding two-seat rear bench. The safety equipment includes Electronic Stability Control, Hill Start Assist, Emergency Brake Assist and a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System.
The 0.9-litre TCe turbocharged engine develops 90 hp of power at 5,500 rpm and 135 Nm of torque at 2,500 rpm. The 0-62 mph acceleration takes 10.8 seconds while the top speed stands at 103 mph. Yet with engine Stop & Start as standard it is also extremely efficient, recording an official 65.7 mpg – and more than 50 mpg in urban city use – with CO2 emissions of just 99 g/km.
