  "account": "Köln and Düsseldorf – The French Revolution, as iconic as it may seem, is not quite so in the case of Renault's \"Renaulution.\" In 2021, then Renault CEO Luca de Meo dubbed his program the \"Renaulution\" to restore the French brand to its former glory. However, the manager wisely looked not only into the company's financial records but also into the brand's history. As a result, Renault decided to revive models that once defined the brand and were destined for the electric era. Following the Renault 5 and Renault 4, the Twingo – the quirky little car with a fan base in Germany – has now been given a new lease on life. Renault aims to make the Twingo what it once was, but better. Unlike the Renault 5 and Renault 4, the Twingo never truly disappeared. It was even produced in an electric variant until 2024, but only through a joint venture with Daimler (Smart) and with rear-wheel drive.",
  "summary": "Renault is bringing back the Twingo and manages to remind us of the good old days, not just visually. The new electric variant impresses with a good price, but also raises some questions.",
