Latest Information on Renault Twingo
The name Twingo is made up of the words 'twist', 'swing', and 'Tango'. It was one of Renault's longest-running models. Currently in its third generation (it was originally released in1993 with the second generation appearing in 2007), the brand new Twingo shares architecture and underpinnings with the new SmartForTwo and ForFour. The dinky little city hopper is rear-wheel driven and its engine is rear-mounted, which gives it a much smaller turning circle for fun about-town. Sadly not available in SA.

Deepal S07 L (2026) Quick ReviewThe Deepal S07 L is Changan’s opening gambit in the South African Electric Vehicle (EV) space. Priced at a hair under R1-million, it bypasses the traditional 'entry-level' EV tropes and offers a mid-size option with all the bells and whistles. With a large 80 kWh battery and the promise of near-silent operation, I approached my time with the newcomer with enthusiasm.
