Get ready for some sibling rivalry because the Renault 5 E-Tech has just had its Cutest Electric Car crown stolen by the new Renault Twingo. Clearly channelling the spirit of the 1990s original in its happy-face styling and its colourful interior, this new Twingo gets a 262km range and should have a sub-€20,000 price tag. However, hold your breath just a little as Irish sales are not quite confirmed yet, but hopefully by the time the Twingo goes on European sale in 2027, they will be.
