Renault ZOE  

The Renault ZOE is one of the best electric cars available. It offers a fantastic balance of range, style, tech, reliability and affordability, and is a wonderful choice for drivers looking to make that switch to electric. The ZOE may be the only EV currently produced by Renault, but what it lacks in variety it makes up for in quality.

With approximately 190 miles of real-world range, the ZOE is perfect for drivers in the city or making the daily commute to work. It’s compact and handles well, and is a lot of fun to drive thanks to a range of intuitive features.

It may be affordable, but it doesn’t let its lower cost result in less tech, with a superb infotainment offering including a 9.3” tablet-style screen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and a 10” instrument cluster as standard.

Renault ZOE range and charging info

With a real world range of 190 miles, the Renault ZOE has great range for such a budget-friendly electric car. That means you’ll spend more time enjoying the benefits of driving an EV than worrying about where the nearest charging station is.

When the time does come to fill ‘er up, it has a max charging speed of 46kW and uses Type 2 and CCS connectors, meaning you’ll charge the battery from 10 to 80% in less than an hour.

If you drive regularly, you may want to consider installing an EV charger at home, which makes charging even more convenient and affordable. While home charging is easier if you have off-street parking, there are still plenty of options available for charging your EV if you don’t have a driveway.

Renault ZOE exterior

The Renault ZOE exterior screams classic hatchback. Simple, compact design featuring Renault’s signature C shaped headlights – it’s a more mature version of the original ZOE. It’s also a little wider too, and it’s had the front grill re-designed for the better we think!

One of our favourite exterior features is that the charging port can be found at the front, hidden seamlessly behind the Renault badge. 

It is also available in several different colours to suit your style. From Diamond Black and Celadon Blue, to Flame Red and Glacier White.

Renault ZOE interior

Just because the Renault ZOE doesn’t have the price tag of a luxury EV, it doesn’t mean it lacks creature comforts of its own. Just like its pricier cousins, the ZOE is full of tech to make you and your passengers more comfortable and the driving experience more enjoyable.

• 10” digital instrument display
• 9.3” infotainment screen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay with built-in ‘easy link’ navigation
• A stylish part-recycled, part-synthetic leather interior with a faux leather steering wheel
• Two USB sockets for the rear seats
