The Zoe represents the first attempt Renault took at building an affordable electric car for the masses. Pricing starts at £21,220 without the £3,500 plug-in grant and mandatory battery hire, but British customers can go higher than that.
For £22,770 on-the-road, Renault UK will sell you the flagship of the range. Known as Zoe S Edition, the newcomer serves as a replacement of the Zoe Signature Nav from the previous model year. As expected, this kind of pricing comes with lots of standard equipment.
Audiophiles are treated to BOSE audio and DAB radio while customers who are more interested in looks are offered a choice between 16- and 17-inch alloy wheels. Leather upholstery, lumbar adjustment for the driver’s seat, and a rearview camera are also included.
The list of standard features continues with 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment, voice commands for the satellite navigation, electrically-folding door mirrors, climate control, rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlights, and parking sensors. Make no mistake about it, the S Edition is the most the Zoe can offer.
Now available to order in the United Kingdom, the Zoe S Edition can be had with either the Q90 or R110 options. The lesser of two electric motors has 86 horsepower on tap while the range-topper develops 106 horsepower and 225 Nm of torque.
There’s no difference in range (186 miles under WLTP regulations), but the Q90 can be charged quicker than the R110. More to the point, Renault claims this Zoe needs 65 minutes to fill ‘er up to 80 percent using a 43-kW fast-charging station.
Although down on ponies, the Q90 is £750 more expensive than the R110. The high-output powertrain option can’t do better than 22 kW, meaning that the 41-kWh battery needs more time to reach 80-percent charge.
There’s hearsay Dacia will borrow the Zoe’s underpinnings for the automaker’s first EV, although nothing is certain for the time being. Considering the Sandero, Logan, and Duster are based on an older platform from Renault, this rumor might turn out to be true sometime during the earliest part of the 2020s.
