OUIGO Tango: a new look to please everyone #

With its sky blue and candy pink colors, it’s hard to miss an OUIGO train. However, the new interior design of the Tango model brings about a subtle revolution. Bright shades give way to softer pink accents, aiming to broaden the audience beyond fans of colorful pop. “The trains remain pink and blue, but the colors are more subdued, more in line with contemporary trends,” they say from management. The goal is clear: to make the OUIGO experience accessible and pleasant for all, in a warm atmosphere that’s now a bit more chic.

Rethought Comfort: revolution on board #

No more hard benches and bland seats! Say hello to redesigned seating, wider and generously padded, with integrated headrests for micro-naps without neck strain. Each new seat offers a bit more legroom and a wider backrest, turning journeys into true moments of relaxation, even on long-distance trips. The lighting also improves: adjustable brightness strips now prevent dazzling wake-ups in the morning. One might almost find reasons to invent fake appointments in Lyon just to test these new features.

And for 21st-century travelers, it’s a must: every seat now has its own electrical or USB outlet, indicated by a blue light indicator. No more fighting over chargers with your seatmate! Although, let’s face it, we would have liked to see USB-C ports, the new European standard. At this price point, we shouldn’t quibble… or should we?

Relax Space: a playful and friendly break #

Among the innovations on board, the famous Relax Space located in the center of the train is worth a visit. Busy adults and energetic children will find a cozy corner to stretch, chat, or play. Gone are the days of awkwardly pacing the aisle in search of three minutes of freedom; hello to a space dedicated to collective relaxation! Some may be surprised by the ongoing absence of a bar car, but OUIGO prefers to test mobile catering concepts that are more in line with its low-cost logic (and perhaps a surprise will be tested soon on the Brittany route? Stay tuned…).

For quick interactions, a fuchsia info kiosk offers answers and assistance in the blink of an eye, avoiding any stress during boarding. It’s all about making the experience smoother for curious or slightly lost travelers.

More space for your luggage and bikes #

A new organization means more space for luggage: OUIGO promises a 10% increase in capacity while increasing the number of seats on board. Is it the magic of architecture or a real reorganization of the storage areas? Users eager to find out will quickly see if this finally ends the giant game of Tetris in the aisles!

Cyclists, rejoice: each train now offers eight bicycle hooks (sixteen for a double train) to securely anchor your two-wheeled vehicles, all in compliance with new European legislation. Traveling from Paris to Brussels by bike (or almost) is now possible; check out this experience report for more details.

Accessibility and inclusion: a train for everyone #

Because traveling should remain a pleasure open to all, OUIGO is adding a significant string to its bow: more comfort for people with disabilities, with specially adapted seats and specific tables in car 1, clearly indicated by the appropriate logo. This pushes the small tune of an inclusive and serene journey even further.

Ecological commitment and technical performance #

Modernizing doesn’t stop at comfort! The Tango train features thermal-insulating windows to limit the impact of extreme heat, improved air conditioning, and a smart toilet system that recycles sink water for disposal. All of this aims to achieve an ambitious goal of 33 million annual travelers by 2030, with an ecological commitment that has been part of OUIGO’s philosophy since its inception.

OUIGO: low prices, maximum innovations for smart travel #

At the end of the day, the OUIGO Tango train fulfills all the modern demands of the low-cost train — comfort, connectivity, accessibility, environmental concern — while keeping an eye on what really matters: offering tight-priced journeys for all types of travelers.

For the curious, fans of budget escapes, and urban explorers dreaming of discovering Brussels from Paris without breaking the bank, find detailed experiences and traveler stories on all the new OUIGO features with the Tempo/Tango versions.
