Renaults get fresh face

These images have been produced using information from Auto Express’s top French contacts, and show what to expect from two of Renault’s most exciting new cars.

Taking over from the still-popular Scenic compact MPV, the new version, shown above in red, will get an even more distinctive appearance. As well as a fresh front end that looks set to spread across the range, the next-generation people-mover will need a practicality boost if it is to keep up with its new Citroen C4 Picasso rival. The Renault will continue to be offered in both five and seven-seat forms, with plenty of new interior features to boost versatility. However, bosses at the company are confident that the current model still has plenty of life left in it. As a result, the next Scenic won’t appear for at least another two years.

Buyers wanting a trendy new city car won’t have to wait that long for the new Twingo, however. Last year’s Paris Motor Show concept model won’t change significantly as it’s prepared for the forecourts, as this image shows.

The Twingo will go on salein the UK in September, with a choice of normally aspirated or turbocharged 1.2-litre engines, plus a 1.5-litre diesel unit. Prices are expected to range from £7,000 to £9,000.
