While VW refuted to comment, a spokesperson for Renault contacted by ANE<\/em> did say: “We are in different discussions, but nothing has been finalized.”<\/p>\n The French brand will beat VW to the punch in the sense that it\u2019ll release the new R5 in 2024, a year before the ID.2all evolves into a production model. In addition, the company with the diamond logo has already previewed the revival of the R4 due in 2025 and a next-generation Twingo. Pictured here, the latter will serve as the brand\u2019s entry-level EV and is slated to go on sale in 2026.<\/p>\n Renault is using the Ampr\u00a0Small (previously CMF-BEV) architecture as the foundation for the 5, 4, and Twingo. Although these will only be sold as EVs, none of them will sit on a platform developed exclusively for electric cars. As many as 70 percent of parts will come from the existing CMF-B platform used by the Clio to drive down costs.<\/p>\n It’s unclear whether VW’s entry-level electric car would have something in common with the Twingo or the plan is to develop a new architecture. The cheapest Renault EV will also cost below the \u20ac20,000 threshold and will go on to replace today’s Twingo Z.E.<\/p>\n It’s worth noting the Twingo Z.E. was developed together with Daimler and its electric Smart ForTwo. Both these cars were also engineered in ICE flavors with rear-mounted combustion engines.<\/p>\n
