We"ve teamed up with Mazda to create a very special version of the world"s best-selling roadster, and it could be yours...



The current version...

The current version has never been sold in Britain, but is a massive hit across Europe. It isn"t a big money-spinner for Renault, because of the slim profit margins on small cars, but bosses hope to shift the replacement up a segment, so they will be able to charge a premium. The Twingo will still serve as an entry-level car in some countries, but would be marketed as a trendy fashion accessory in others, which would include the UK.

Just as the company...

Just as the company is offering a variety of models in the supermini segment - the C2, C3 and Pluriel convertible - he said it will do the same with the C4. Drivers can expect to see a three-door version, a lifestyle model badged XTR and perhaps even a proper SUV. However, there will be no cabrio. "We will have to choose which ones we do, but in the short term, there are no plans for a convertible," said Besson.

The revised model gets a new mesh grille and sportier, low-slung front and rear bumpers designed to make it appear less tall. It also has LED rear lamps to give a more modern finish, and there"s a choice of four new paint options. Inside, the Japanese firm has redesigned the entire dashboard and brightened up the trim with new colour schemes. A leather steering wheel has been added, and there"s also an op-tional sat-nav screen. To keep up with the likes of Nissan"s Micra, a new smart card key system hooked up to the immobiliser has been fitted.

A revised five-speed manual transmission will go on sale alongside the existing seven-speed CVT, while the 1.4-litre petrol engine will be tweaked to improve economy. The revised Fit is already on sale in Japan, so the facelifted Jazz should debut at the Paris Motor Show in September, before going on sale in the UK shortly after.
