72 mpg af standard: New Renault Twingo!
31,3 km/l or a bit more than 72 mpg is what the new Reanult Twingo 1,5 liter cDi model, just lanuched i Europe calims.
http://cdn02.fdm.dk/billeder/artikel...Twingo_for.jpg http://cdn02.fdm.dk/billeder/artikel...Twingo_bag.jpg The high milage is acheived without start/stop teck, so lots of eco-styling here. Most of the front, mini camback/ spoiler, sharp edges in the back, grill blocks ..... etc. Heres a video - in Ducth! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYeKQ0TJDVA |
Found out a bit more about this car:
- 75 hK common rail diesel - no turbo, 1.5 liters - Curb weight - 1050 kg Vortex generators on side of camback http://billeder.bilzonen.dk/Car/Pro/...12027406.jpg?3 |
Considering the numbers were accomplished on the Euro cycle, thats maybe 45-50mpg on the US test. Its good but nothing special for such a tiny diesel car.
|
Execp for the fact, that peope this time reports, thats what they agre getting from it, so for once it's not wildly overstated - the EU numbers....

And I'm surprised it's non-turbo. I thought all new commonrails were turbo:confused: Quote:

Renault Twingo MPG Reports | Fuelly I'll believe when the 2013 real world numbers start rolling in. |
It's a new engine. No start/stop, heavely areomodded or designed if you will. Can not be compared to the old versions this is the ECO2 version.
We will have to see. Rated 25 km/l in city and 31,3 at highway. Looking at pictures, so far I've found lover and upper grill blocks, lower airlip/airdam at front, new mirrors further away from the body, sharp edges at rear of car, mini camback at rear, VG on both sides of that. I've found two test with mixed driving, (one danish one german) that comfirms the city number og 25 km/l and one mixed number t 28 km/l. Pump up the tires, and do some gliding, and you are there..... On at danish board a regular daily driver who has a daily 200 km drive (100 km to and from work) confirms the 30 km/l number. |
