I dont think the new twingo will be A segment like the original one.
The A segment has kind of died down with the years. The need of security features that bulked up the chassis and dimensions of cars meant that A segmentcars were becoming undistinguishable from B segment ones.
Case in point: This new one will be 5 door only. There was no way you could fit 5 doors on the original design considering its dimensions.
To me it looks like a B segment EV car, which is totally fine, you just cant make as roomy A segment cars as the OG twingo because of all the security features that new cars require.
I feel people nowadays upgrade out of battery degradation rather than new features/specs.
phones became so damn frustrating to service that people just swap them when their batteries start to degrade, instead of swapping batteries and continue using it.
