雷诺在本届巴黎车展发布了克雷嘉改款车和未来主义风格的EZ-Ultimo概念车。虽然有传言称，ClioV微型车或Twingo改款车也将亮相，但这两款掀背车一直神龙见首不见尾。其中前者已经证实将于明年初发布，而后者的发布时间还未确定。最近谍照记者拍到了Twingo的照片。从照片看，该车的车头和车尾都进行了重度伪装，表明这两部分将有很大变化，不过预计新车整体上不会有颠覆性改变。2019款Twingo毕竟只是一款中期改款车，预计外观将获得升级，包括前后保险杠进行改款，前大灯和尾灯组小改款。目前还不清楚新车动力系统是否也有所改变，但预计新车仍将搭载1.0升自然进气和0.9升涡轮增压引擎，搭配后轮驱动。这些三缸引擎与Smart ForFour是共享的。另外，雷诺还将推出110马力的Twingo GT“高性能”版本。

 

2019 Renault Twingo Caught Masking Its Facelift

Renault is putting on quite a show these days on its home turf at the Paris Motor Show where it’s displaying the Kadjar facelift and the futuristic EZ-Ultimo concept. Some folks had been hoping to see the Clio V supermini and/or the refreshed A-segment Twingo, but the two hatchbacks are MIA. While the former has been confirmed to premiere early next year, the latter does not have a launch date for the time being.

 

We do have a fresh batch of spy shots with arguably what is one of the cutest cars on sale today. While the heavy amount of camouflage at the front and rear fascias might suggest big changes are planned, we’re not expecting a drastic makeover for the pint-sized hatch. The 2019 Twingo should get the sort of styling updates you’d expect from a mid-cycle refresh, such as lightly modified bumpers and a subtle tweak of the headlights and taillights.

 

Details about any possible changes to the engine lineup are not available at the moment of writing, but we’re expecting the rear-wheel-drive micro hatch from Renault to solider on with the naturally aspirated 1.0-liter engine and the turbocharged 0.9-liter. These three-cylinder mills are the same ones you’ll find in the Smart ForFour with which the Twingo is sharing many of the bits and pieces.

 

Let’s keep mind that the company with the diamond logo has a lukewarm Twingo GT on sale, complete with 110 horsepower in a car as light as a feather. That’s the version we’d go for.
