Turning radius of Renault Twizy (with visuals)
The turning circle of the Renault Twizy is 6.80 m, an average based on 4 different editions. This represents the curb-to-curb turning circle, which is the diameter of the circle traced by the outermost front wheel. On this page, you'll learn what this turning circle means, how it's calculated and what it looks like visualized.
What does the wall-to-wall turning circle of the Renault Twizy look like? How many manoeuvres are needed to make a U-turn then? You can find out yourself! Select a road width and play the animation!
Any time the car changes between direction (forward and backward), the counter adds another manoeuvre. The more manoeuvres, the harder it is to turn around. Can you thread the needle?
Turning circles are typically measured from the center of the car. When a manufacturer states a car's turning circle, they're referring to the diameter of the circle traced by the outermost front wheel when the car makes its tightest possible turn. This measurement is taken from the center of the car, considering both left and right turns, and using the larger of the two measurements. This is what is known as the curb-to-curb turning circle. It's important to distinguish this from the wall-to-wall turning circles: curb-to-curb measures the space needed for the wheels to complete a turn, while wall-to-wall accounts for the entire vehicle's body swing, resulting in a larger diameter.
