Appetizingly Colored Custom Seats


To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Pierre Hermé Paris, a patisserie now representing France, the Twingo PH (P.H.) Macaron, inspired by macarons, has been born.


Notably, the custom seat covers feature macaron colors. Inspired by Pierre Hermé Paris's most popular "Infiniment" series and "Mogador" macarons, they are given colors that make you want to exclaim, "They look delicious!"

In addition, the exterior features exclusive side stripes and stickers, and 16-inch alloy wheels as special equipment.


Customers who place an order will receive a macaron bag, pouch, and coin case, created through a collaboration between Renault and Pierre Hermé Paris, themed around macarons and driving.




A key feature of the Twingo is its rear-engine, rear-drive (RR) layout. The base Intense model is equipped with a 0.9-liter three-cylinder turbo engine producing a maximum output of 66 kW (90 hp) and a maximum torque of 135 Nm (13.8 kgm), paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission.


A total of 100 units are limited: 50 in Blue Nocturne Metallic and 50 in Blanc Cristal (White).
