Your sales advisor has already praised you with the funding he offers, and in particular in LLD or LOA: long -term rental and rental with option to buy. To differentiate the two, it’s simple, you “rent” the car in both cases during a time defined when signing the rental contract.

The difference between these two rental offers comes at the end of the contract, after 3, 4 or 5 years. With the LOA (rental with purchase option), you will have the choice between lifting the purchase option (previously defined when signing the contract) or returning the vehicle. LLD (long -term rental) does not include any purchase option at the end of the contract. In other words, you restore the car.

Renault Twingo E-tech electric at € 100/month: this rental is really a good deal ?

After MG with its MG4 or Fiat with its 500th, it’s Renault’s turn to draw its 100 % electric car at 100 euros per month. Let’s look together if this offer is a good deal and if there is not a wolf behind it, especially since Renault offered the same product at 79 euros per month last year.

By the end of 2023, the government should announce the terms of its famous “social leasing”, that is to say from the famous electric car at 100 euros per month promised by Emmanuel Macron during his last presidential campaign.

The deadline is fast approaching, some manufacturers have surfed on this trend to already present offers at 100 euros per month, like Fiat and its 500th, a long -term rental that we had also deciphered at its release, just like that of the MG4.

It is now the turn of Renault to offer your LLD at 100 euros per month. And what could be akin to “the affair of the century” for the electric twingo is not really, since about a year ago, The diamond firm offered this same model at a more advantageous price : from 79 euros per month. Let’s see together what are the terms and if this offer is as attractive as the previous one, even if the amount of monthly payments has increased.

The Renault Twingo offered at 100 euros per month

As often with this type of offer, this is the basic model, namely the “Authentic” finish for the Twingo e-tech. This is exactly the same model that was offered on the previous offer at 79 euros per month. As standard, the car has the following equipment:

• Tinted glass
• 15 -inch makao hubcaps
• Dark upholstery with Kario patterns (implies black atmosphere)
• Grained black outdoor mirrors
• Radio Connect R & Go with smartphone support compatible with the R & Go & Push to Talk mobile application

• Alarm pre-equipment (accessory predisposition)
• Centralized doors
• Grained black side baguettes

• Flex
• Recharge cable bag

The car is equipped with a small electric motor from 81 horses. Its battery with a capacity of 22 kWh gives it autonomy, according to the WLTP cycle of 190 km, and up to 270 km only in urban use.

It changes on the level of standard color, since on the previous offer, the car was basic white. On this one, you will have the right to something a little more funky with this “dragé blue”, the only free color of the Twingo.

What are the conditions to be eligible for the LLD offer of the Renault Twingo e-tech ?

This is a long -term rental offer over 37 months and 30,000 km maximum (against 22,500 km for the old offer). The site indicates that funding at 100 euros per month is subject to an intake of 9,000 euros. This contribution does not include the deduction of the ecological bonus of 5,000 euros and the conversion bonus of 2,500 euros. Once these aids have been deducted, The contribution falls to 1,500 euros.

Good news already, Renault does not communicate by on a bonus at 7,000 euros like other manufacturers, and that’s good since the tax conditions to achieve this sum are complicated. On the other hand, you will not escape the conditions of the conversion bonus.

To be able to benefit from this premium, You have to rebuild an old diesel or petrol model. The old vehicle reinforced must be a car or a van whose total authorized weight in charge does not exceed 3,500 kg. The date of the first registration must be before 2011 for diesels and before 2006 for essences.

The vehicle has to belong to the beneficiary for at least a year, while the reference tax income per share indicated in the tax notice of your income from the previous year must be less than or equal to 13,489 euros.

Compared to the previous offer at 79 euros per month, there was a contribution of 7,820 euros. This contribution did not include the deduction of the ecological bonus of 5,321 euros (or 27 % of the price of the car) and there was no conversion bonus. Thus, it fell at 2,500 euros, or 1,000 euros more than the current offer, which may explain the difference of around twenty euros in favor of the previous offer.

Also specify, as the old offer, that The new included three years warranty, 24/24 assistance and maintenance included for one euro per month.

How much will the LLD offer from the Renault Twingo e-tech offer you ?

Over three years of rental, your Renault Twingo E-Tech will cost you 5,100 euros with maintenance, extension of guarantee on the duration of the rental and assistance. Renault displays its twingo connected from 20,250 euros on its site, ecological bonus of 5,000 euros deducted. By adding the conversion premium of 2,500 euros, the final bill amounts to 17,750 euros.

Starting from that price, you will therefore pay, over three years, 28 % of the price of your car. This corresponds overall to the depreciation of a new car after about three years of use. The offer is not a LOA, there is no vehicle buy -back option. It will be necessary to return it at the end of the rental.

Watch out for restoration costs, always expensive at the time of restitution. We advise you to do it before a bodybuilder, it will cost you less than in concession. If you take a vehicle from your dealer after your LLD, it will also be a little less looking at the costs of repairing.

Inflation also went through there

By making the comparison with the old offer, we immediately notice that Renault Twingo E-Tech prices have increased in a short time. Indeed, over three years of rental, the Renault Twingo E-Tech at the time cost 2,960 euros with the maintenance, the guarantee extension on the duration of the rental and the assistance.

Renault displayed its Twingo from 21,950 euros on its site, ecological bonus of 5,321 euros not deducted. This gave us a car displayed at the catalog price at 16,629 euros. By adding the conversion premium of 2,500 euros, the final bill amounted to 14,129 euros, or 3,621 euros difference from now.

Admittedly, the amount of the bonus has (a little) lowered for the Twingo in this case, but it especially underwent inflation too, especially since Renault now communicates on a deduction bonus price, while the ‘era, the manufacturer displayed an unpublished bonus rate.

A little over a year ago, with the offer at 79 euros per month and a contribution of 2,500 euros, You would have paid 20 % of the car price over three years, compared to 28 % with the new offer. Admittedly, Renault revised the mileage in the contract, going from 22,500 over three years to 30,000 km, but that does not necessarily justify such an increase especially that in fact, the Twingo has not evolved technically and always presents a rather low autonomy today, even for a city car.
