RENAULT ZOE REVIEW - THE BEST VALUE FOR MONEY EV IN 2020!

EV Channels Review

The Renault Zoe, particularly the 2020 update, is presented as a strong contender in the small EV market, offering excellent value for money. The reviewer highlights its suitability for urban driving, smooth power delivery, and a surprisingly quick 0-60 mph time that beats Renault's claims. The updated 52kWh battery provides a commendable range of up to 245 miles, and charging options are flexible, though faster charging requires an optional upgrade. Positives include a spacious boot, a comfortable ride over poor surfaces, and a comprehensive warranty. However, the interior suffers from hard plastics and a lack of support in the seats, especially for taller passengers due to the raised seating position caused by the battery. Annoyances include the lack of a 'Park' button, the awkward rear door handles, and the need to pay extra for 50kW charging. Despite its flaws, the Zoe is recommended for shortlisting due to its strong range, value, and urban driving prowess.
