Re: Renault launches 100% electric Twizy in the Middle East
Category : News

Designed as an ultramobile, Renault's little newcomer looks set to start a trend in the Middle East. With its ultra-compact dimensions - 2.34m long, 1.24m wide and 1.45m tall - nothing like the Twizy currently exists in the Middle East market.
Flexible, dynamic and safe, the Twizy can be customised to suit any taste. It comes in four main colours – blue, white, red, black - from which many styling combinations will be available. For the bold, Twizy also offers a line of stickers to liven up the doors and rims.
Powered entirely by electricity, the Renault Twizy has an urban-cycle range of approximately 85km. The batteries are charged via an extendible cable located behind the Renault diamond at the front of the car. A full charge takes around 3.5 hours using the normal household 220-240v domestic supply (3-pin plug). The lithium-ion batteries which power the electric motor are mounted beneath the seats to lower the centre of gravity.
The Renault Twizy features comprehensive personal protection. Its tubular chassis keeps occupants safe from impacts, and its four disc brakes offer real active safety. Combined with an outsized turning radius, the Twizy is not just a fun car, but also a very responsive one. For passive safety, never before seen on a vehicle that handles this well, the Twizy is equipped with a 4-point seatbelt and a driver's airbag. The technology-filled Twizy also offers a rear parking aid - the safest way to park in a tight space without scratching the car.
Pre-booking for the Renault Twizy will be open in GCC countries starting with United Arab Emirates and Qatar. As a reference in the UAE, the Renault Twizy’s price will start from AED 77,900. The Renault Twizy is covered by a 2-year warranty package up to 50,000 km. This requires a full servicing history according to current Renault approved standards.
