The trim level will become the new range-topping option for the city car and comes packed with standard equipment.

The Twingo Special Edition will receive a new unique mint green paint colour, as well as also being available in diamond black or crystal white. A fabric folding sunroof also features as standard, in addition to decals and 16-inch alloy wheels.

Inside the car, there’s part-leather upholstery, floor mats with a mint green Twingo logo and matching coloured accents around the cabin. Satellite navigation, climate control, automatic headlights, Bluetooth and cruise control also feature for no extra cost.

Equipped with the manual, fuel economy is claimed at 65.7mpg with emissions of 99g/km CO₂. As for the automatic, 58.9mpg is stated while emissions come in at 108 g/km CO_2.

Prices for the Twingo Iconic Special Edition start from £14,595. Order books are now open, with first deliveries expected during September.

It also comes with Renault’s 4+ warranty, which allows for two-year unlimited mileage, then a further two years’ protection up to 100,000 miles.
