MAPLE CROSS, United Kingdom – January 2009: When the New Year arrives, it’s usual to make lots of unrealistic resolutions but if your aim is to inject some style without breaking the bank then Renault has the answer with the launch of its lowest-priced Twingo, the Freeway.

Priced at just £6,995 on the road, Twingo Freeway offers practicality, interior space and style joining the rest of the Twingo line-up - Extreme, Dynamique, GT and Renaultsport 133. Pennies are always tight after Christmas, but the Freeway will leave plenty left over for the January sales! The new model undercuts the entry-level Fiat 500 by over £1100 and the Ford Ka by over £830!

Impressive standard equipment for the price
Twingo Freeway boasts an impressive level of equipment despite its low price tag. Peace of mind is assured with standard-fit ABS with EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution) and Brake Assist, driver and passenger airbags, passenger airbag deactivation, dead-locking, anti-drill door locks, an insurance-approved engine immobiliser and R.A.I.D. (Renault Anti-Intruder Device).

Twingo Freeway beats the opposition with other standard features such as remote control central-locking, electric windows, tinted glass, a 2 x 15W radio single CD with fingertip remote control and a height-adjustable steering wheel.

It will be available in a choice of five colours – one non-metallic, Capsicum Red and four metallic, Mercury, Pearl Black, Tempest and Blaze.

Options include the opportunity to stamp your own individuality on your Twingo, with a wide range of personalisation exterior decals available. This includes a chance for customers to show off their style with door handle graphics (£49) and wing badges (£15). Customers can also enhance the look of their Twingo Freeway with white or black racing stripes (£98) or chequered flag door graphics (£98).

On sale now
Insurance groups are still to be confirmed but are expected to be an extremely low 2E. Renault’s lowest priced Twingo Freeway is available to order now at just £6,995 on the road.
