JAKARTA - Electric cars at affordable prices appear to be a growing trend among car manufacturers, and Renault will enter the segment.

Quoted from the Carscoops page, Wednesday, November 15, the French company is reportedly working on a smaller and cheaper model that will arrive in 2026 which will enter the line-up line-up of its electric car.

Although it does not yet have a name, the electric car is said to be a replacement for Renault Twingo's hatchback, which is rumored to be stopped soon.

Insiders stated that the electric car would be built at the Renault Novo Mesto factory in Slovenia, which is also home to Twingo production.

It is not yet clear whether the model will share the CMF-BEV architecture with Renault 5 which has a length of 3.92 m (154.3 inches), but what is certain will have a smaller size.

Later this kei car model will compete with the upcoming ID.1 VW, Citroen e-C3, Fiat Panda, and other EV entry-levels. Of course it should be eagerly awaited.

Renault's move is also in line with manufacturer projections, in which 6 new electric vehicles will launch until 2030, including the R5 supermini by 2024, the R4 SUV by 2025, and smaller urban electric vehicles by 2026.
