The facelift for the 2012 Renault Twingo debuted at Frankfurt, and Renault has now put a price on their new baby – £10,350. The facelift for the 2012 Renault Twingo is not the most comprehensive overhaul you’ll eve see in a car, consisting mainly of a new nose reflecting more current Renault design, a tiny [...]
Renault is axing the Espace, Kangoo, Laguna, Modus & Wind models in the UK in a drive to restore profitability. In an age when we’re use to car makers extending their ranges on an almost daily basis, Renault are going the opposite way by cutting four models from their range of cars in the UK. Out will go [...]
Renault has tweaked the Scenic and Grand Scenic for 2012 with a mild styling facelift, trim changes and two new engines. The Renault Scenic (and Grand Scenic, too) were really the first in the race to fill a niche for comfortable, versatile transport for ferrying your brood and their stuff. Not completely French-soft in ride – but far more [...]
Nissan are to launch a plug-in hybrid in 2015 and are working with Mercedes Benz to develop fuel cell technology. We have been a bit scathing about electric cars, and Nissan’s over-priced LEAF being proclaimed as a viable alternative to the ICE car. But we certainly understand the imperative for car makers to build cars [...]
Renault has given its smallest car a facelift for 2012, which seems to comprise of mainly a new nose, to fill in until the all-new SMART-based Twingo arrives. The Renault Twingo is Renault’s smallest car, and not one we Brits have really taken to our hearts, at least not unless we need very basic hire car when in [...]
Renault has launched the range-topping Renault Wind Roadster Gordini in to the UK and cut the price of the existing Wind models by over £2k. For those who don’t know, the Renault Wind isn’t a breeze crossing the Channel from central France but is actually a convertible version of the Renault Twingo. And now it’s [...]
Renault has created the FRENDZY Concept, a Kangoo-based EV with weekday and weekend personas. And sounds. Really. Nothing floats Renault’s boat quite as much as a pile of batteries attached to an electric motor. Unless it’s an off-the-wall concept heading for a motor show. Put the two together and you have a Renault designer’s wet dream. [...]
Renault cash-in on next week’s Silverstone GP with a Limited Edition (50 each) Twingo Renaultsport 133 ‘Silverstone GP’ and Clio Renaultsport 200 Silverstone GP. ‘Now what moniker can we hang on the back of a Renaultsport Twingo and Renaultsport Clio to get our British customers to part with their hard-earned?’, the man from Renault was heard to [...]
Renault reveals that the Renault Fluence ZE – Nissan’s latest electric car – will come at a bargain price. But there’s a sting in the tail. Renault – and its Japanese other self, Nissan – think electric cars are the future. They’re wrong, but they’re busy pushing ahead with the plan to give buyers an [...]
Renault has taken the Megane Renaultsport 265 Trophy to the Nurburgring and set a new record for a front wheel drive production car. First we get the news that Renault has pushed out a limited edition Megane Renaulsport – the Megane Renaulsport 265 Trophy with a slightly tweaked and titivated version of the Megane Renaultsport 250 – and now [...]
Renault has revealed the Limited Edition Mégane Renaultsport 265 Trophy offering 15bhp extra and cosmetic tweaks. Just 500 to be built. Logically, you’d assume that the Mégane Renaultsport 265 Trophy is a replacement for the Mégane Renaultsport 250 which debuted back in 2009. But no. At least not according to Renault, who we guess should know. Instead of being a replacement for [...]
Renault has launched the £250 Eco Pack for the Clio, making the Renault Clio Expression Eco the cheapest sub 100g/km supermini in the UK We hear so much about how electric cars make the perfect commuter car. They can manage to do a fifty or sixty mile round trip a day, don’t need a tax [...]
Renault’s electric go-kart with a roof – the Renault Twizy – will cost from £6,990, plus an extra £40 a month to lease the batteries. What exactly is a Renault Twizy? It’s a fair enough question. Is it a miniature car? No, not really. A beefed-up motorcycle? No, it’s more than that. A tall go-kart with a roof? [...]
It’s being reported that Renault are planning to revive the Renault 5 / R5 / Le Car to take on the modern wave of chic, small cars. What have been the big successes in little cars in the past few years? Yep, recreations of bygone icons have wiped the floor with the opposition. The MINI [...]
Renault are taking a funky, urban crossover concept to Geneva – the Renault Captur; a Juke homage. The Nissan Juke – just like its big brother the Qashqai – has set car makers scrambling to catch up. The funky, urban (very) compact crossover has captured the Zeitgeist. Suddenly you can drive something butch and funky without [...]
Renault announces the Renault Wind Gordini which will debut at the Geneva Motor Show. When we revealed the Gordini moniker was going to be dragged out of the history cupboard to adorn modern Renaults we were fairly charitable. After all, we’d been less than keen on Citroen’s resurrection of the DS moniker to adorn a [...]
The Renault Espace gets a slight facelift for 2011 with minor cosmetic tweaks and Euro 5 compliant engine. The Renault Espace was the car that started the whole ‘People Carrier’ thing, and with ever improving options coming at them from every angle they need to keep the Espace fresh. So although facelift may be a bit strong [...]
Renault has released prices for the 2011 Laguna Hatch and Estate, with prices starting at £17,795 for the entry-level 2.0-litre petrol in Expression trim We guess it’s easier to get your act together as a car maker to price a facelifted car than an all new car. That said, if any business builds a product without [...]
Renault has revealed tweaks to the Renault Laguna for 2011 with a revised nose and Euro 5 compliant engines. The 2011 Renault Laguna will debut at the Paris Motor Show. Just like yesterday with the Citroen C4 Picasso Facelift, this Renault Laguna Facelift is about having new product to show to the world at the [...]

Renault has revealed the replacement for the very odd Vel Satis, their new range-topping Renault Latitude. Renault Latitude? What’s a Renault Latitude? A new hatch? A people carrier? No, it’s actually Renault’s latest effort at a range-topping car. But pay attention, because unless you live in Paris you’ll probably never see one again. French pride seems to [...]
