Twingo E-Tech 27.5 kWh

The Renault Twingo E-Tech 27.5 kWh is a 4-seat hatchback with front-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £18,000. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 12.1 seconds, slower than 95% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 115 miles (185 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That puts it among the shortest-range 10% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 62nd of 67 hatchbacks.

It uses around 4.2 mi/kWh (149 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 27.5 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 40 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 120 miles (193 km) at motorway speeds.

No heat pump is listed for this version, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses LFP chemistry, which manufacturers generally allow to be charged to 100% routinely.

Its UK starting price works out at £157 per mile of real-world range, higher than the median for hatchbacks (£142 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2025 example is estimated at £10,300–£11,700, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2025 car should still manage about 112 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
