The third-generation Renault Zoe offers increased power and range, a host of technological improvements and a more sophisticated character throughout, according to Renault.
Inside, the completely redesigned interior has a more modern and elegant environment, with the addition of more premium materials and the latest connectivity and features. Under the skin, the new ZOE has a 52kWh battery which delivers a range of up to 395 kilometres (WLTP). There are also more charging options, including the introduction of a direct current (DC) charger. There’s a new R135 (100 kW) motor option, making it the quickest, most responsive ZOE yet.
Innovative new features enhance the driving and ownership experience, including increased connectivity, Renault’s state-of-the-art EasyLink infotainment system and a configurable 10-inch TFT driver display. A new B Mode, increases regenerative braking and allows one-pedal operation to make urban driving easier, while a range of advanced driving aids make journeys safer and more enjoyable.
Renault New Zealand General Manager, Sam Waller says, “The improvements made to the ZOE across the board, the ability to travel up to 395 kilometres, the DC charging capability, plus with the Government rebate make this new generation ZOE a very popular small electric car choice.”
Customers have an expanded colour range to choose from: Titanium Grey, Glacier White, Celedon Blue, Star Black, Quartz Blanc White, Blueberry, Flamme Red and Highland Grey. The new Zoe will be in Renault ZOE in dealerships this month.
The new ZOE is an affordable new EV on the market, with prices starting from just $55,365 for the Zen model. This price is after the government’s Clean Car Discount of $8,625.
