2018 Renault Zoe Has More Power, Looks Awesome in Purple
Even electric cars have gotten bigger over the years. However, if you want something compact yet still totally practical, there's the Renault Zoe, which now has a more powerful engine.
This 2018 model is called the Zoe R110. The new electric motor has 80 kW.
In any case, the model was presented earlier this year. What sets it apart is a new shade of deep metallic purple Renault calls Aconite, which reminds us of Amethyst from the Espace range.
It is available with the Dynamique Nav version and can be paired with a new Purple Interior Park. This includes a violet satin finish on the seat centers and the dashboard. But honestly, you don't really need it.
Thanks to the power boost, the Zoe is more responsive and versatile when used for journeys out of town. But honestly, this is car feels most at home in the city, and despite the 13-second 100km/h sprint time, the old model didn't feel sluggish.
Launched in 2016, Zoe's 41kWh battery pack gives it a theoretical range of 400 km according to the NEDC. Even though it's tied with the all-new Leaf, the Zoe offered slightly better "fuel economy" in recent independent tests.
The 7-inch touchscreen has been updated with Android Auto and navigation means you can more easily find nearby charging points.
Dynamique adds 16-inch wheels, auto lights and wipers, a leather steering wheel, and parking sensors.
All models now get a 7kW wallbox that can charge the Zoe in about 7 hours.
