French car company Renault is set to return to Canada this summer with the launch of its Twizy, which it will market here as a low-speed vehicle (LSV) via a partnership with Quebec’s AZRA Canada.
The electric two-seater will be limited to a top speed of 40 km/h, making it unfit for use in non-urban environments, according to reports from Auto123.
Renault had last summer discussed bringing the Twizy to Quebec but noted it had to clear Transport Canada regulations; the government body recently okayed the LSV’s sale, but it’s unsure whether Renault will bring any other products to the Canadian market.
Renault last sold new cars in North America in 1987. That year it sold its entire North American operations to Chrysler, who replaced the French brand with its Eagle line of vehicles.
