Renault Announces Twingo dCi 85 eco2

Renault has announced the details about the latest model to join the Twingo lineup - the dCi 85 eco2. The vehicle, which will be available in France in January 2009, has CO2 emissions of 104 g/km and has a fuel efficiency of 4.0 liters/100 km. For those of us who are not on the metric system - the fuel consumption is right around 59 miles per gallon.

The dCi 85 eco2 will play on Twingo’s best-selling car in its class status in France and one of the top three best-selling vehicles in its class in all of Europe.

“Not only is this respectful of the environment but it also makes the car more economical to run for its owner. Such a low level of CO2 emissions enables customers to benefit, too, from the different ‘eco’ incentives that have been introduced in certain European countries. These can vary from €700 in France to 15% of the purchase price in Belgium.” (Source: Renault Presse
