Renault Twizy – Urban Electric Vehicle

A 17bhp electric car designed to offer practical urban transport. The Renault Twizy is fun to drive in town, and gets lots of attention from passers by. The cabin is completely open to the elements, and there’s a distinct shortage of storage space, equipment and security measures. The Twizy has a maximum range of 100 km (62 mi). Prices starting at €6,990 up to €8,490. The heavy quadricycle-classed Urban 80 model features a 13 kW (17 hp) electric motor and can drive up to 80 km/h (50 mph).
