2010 Renault Twingo | 1.5 dCi 65 HP | POV Test Drive #2749 | Joe Black

🎥 2010 Renault Twingo 1.5 dCi (65 HP) | 0-100 | Joe Black Welcome to another extreme budget survivor test on the channel! 🚘💶 Today we are testing a very unique combination for a tiny city car: the **2010 Renault Twingo II**. Instead of a typical small petrol engine, under the hood of this lightweight French hatchback sits the famous *1.5 dCi turbocharged diesel**! It produces **65 HP (48 kW)* and a very healthy *160 Nm* of torque from just 1900 rpm. This power goes to the front wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission. This exact unit has covered **146,000 km**, weighs an incredibly light **980 kg**, and the best part? It currently costs just around **1000 EUR**. Can a 16-year-old, diesel-powered microcar survive modern traffic and our ruthless SURVIVAL TASKS? Let's find out! 🔥 TASK 1: THE DYNAMIC REALITY CHECK Back in 2010, Renault claimed a 0-100 km/h time of 14.9 seconds. How much punch is left in this little diesel after 146,000 km? *My Dragy measurement (0-100 km/h): 16.5 seconds!* 📉 (A loss of 1.6 seconds! Hitting 16.5 seconds means it's definitely not a highway rocket, but honestly? It doesn't matter. The 160 Nm of torque kicks in early, making this sub-1000 kg car feel surprisingly punchy and energetic from 0 to 50 km/h in city traffic. Dynamic task: Survived!). ⛽ TASK 2: THE BUDGET PRACTICALITY CHALLENGE *Joe Black Fuel Consumption Test: [WSTAW SPALANIE] l/100 km.* ⛽ (The factory brochure promised an incredibly low mixed consumption of 4.3 L/100 km. During our dynamic driving tests, we returned [WSTAW SPALANIE] liters. Putting a diesel engine in a car this light means you almost forget what a gas station looks like. With its 40-liter tank, it's the ultimate dirt-cheap commuter for just €1000!). 👇 Full specs, prices, and production details below! --- ⏰ VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS • 0:00 Intro & The €1000 Diesel City Bug Challenge • 0:20 Exterior Walk-around (Checking out the Twingo II design) • 1:15 Engine Start (The 1.5 dCi tractor sound in a tiny car!) • 1:30 Bumpy Road Test (Testing the lightweight suspension) • 3:00 Casual Driving •9:09 Acceleration Test (TASK: 0-100 km/h — Dragy Reality Check!) • 9:30 Casual Driving • 11:50 Highway Performance • 13:50 Engine Overview & Final Verdict --- ⚙️ VEHICLE SPECIFICATIONS (Tested Unit) • Brand: Renault • Model: Twingo II • Year: *2010* • Mileage: *146,000 km (~90,700 miles)* • Body Style: 3-door Hatchback / City Car • Minimum Empty Weight: *980 kg* • Fuel Tank Capacity: *40 l.* • Manufacturing Locations: 🇸🇮 Novo Mesto (Slovenia) #### 🚀 DRIVETRAIN • Engine: *1.5 dCi (Turbocharged Diesel)* • Engine Layout: *Transverse, Front / SOHC* • Cylinders/Displacement: *Inline 4-cylinder / 1461 cm³* • Power: *65 HP* (48 kW) @ 3750 rpm • Torque: *160 Nm* @ 1900 rpm • Transmission: *5-Speed Manual* • Drive: *FWD* (Front-Wheel Drive) #### 📊 PERFORMANCE & PRICE • 0-100 km/h (Factory): *14.9 s* • 0-100 km/h (Joe Black Test): *16.5 s* 📉 • Top Speed: *164 km/h* • Fuel Consumption (Mixed Factory): *4.3 l/100 km* • Fuel Consumption (Joe Black Test): *[WSTAW SPALANIE] l/100 km* ⛽ • Current Market Value: *~1000 EUR* 💶 --- 🎬 PRODUCTION DETAILS • Driver: Joe Black • Video Equipment: *GoPro Hero 12 Black + DJI Osmo Action 6* • Editing Software: MacBook Pro / Final Cut Pro X • Performance Measurement: GPS Performance Meter / Dragy • Video Format: First-person perspective (POV 4K) & Tasks. 🗣️ FEEDBACK: What car should I put through the test next?
