Features and price of Renault Zoe 2022
Not too long ago, an entire entry was devoted to discussing the Cupra Born, and after this discussion, a brief comparison was made between the Cupra Born and the Renault Zoe.
Both were powered entirely by electricity, but one reflected the vitality of its recent arrival on the market. In contrast, the other reflected the experience of having been a part of our team for almost a decade—albeit with significant upgrades in the interim.
It was only a superficial comparison, but what else is there to consider? In order to learn the answer to this question and understand why the Renault Zoe is so well-liked, the newest post on Motorbli will provide an in-depth discussion of the vehicle’s capabilities as well as its cost.
You cannot afford to miss it if you are even remotely interested in the world of electric cars.
Renault Zoe (2022)
After a brief introduction of the rigor that has already been outlined, it is time to go to the nougat definitely and analyze it should the Renault Zoe.
For this particular vehicle, special emphasis will be placed on its exterior design, the mechanical structure offered, the interior equipment that it houses, the price you can get, and a brief comparison with a comparable vehicle that operates in the same market niche as it—Onward to the chaos.
1. Exterior design
When discussing this vehicle, it is helpful to be clear that it is a model classified within segment B and entirely powered by electric motors.
This information can be found in the table below.
More specifically, it is a user currently living in its third generation, which saw the light in 2019 following its predecessors in 2013 and 2016.
However, it is built on the same platform as the one that came before it, known as the CMF-EV.
This is a platform that it also shares with Renault Clio and that it developed in collaboration with its business partner Nissan.
The fact that it measures 4.08 meters in length, 1.73 meters in width, and 1.56 meters in height indicates that its natural habitat is found in urban environments.
To these measurements must be added a wheelbase that is 2.58 meters in length, which in theory, enables it to have space for five passengers inside, albeit possibly only barely.
Because the batteries are stored beneath the floor of the passenger compartment, the minimum capacity of 338 liters can be increased to a maximum of 1,225 liters by lowering the second row of seats in a ratio of 60:40.
This is made possible because the batteries are carried under the floor of the passenger compartment.
The front grille has been redesigned, the headlights have been made to show more definition, the bumper has been made to be more aggressive to match the changes made to the grille, and there are air intakes on both sides of the vehicle, which is where the fog lights are situated.
Other new features include these.
The silhouette is one area in which changes are hardly noticeable. It retains the simple, conventional forms typical of vehicles in its category.
Despite this, it has some remarkable details, such as door handles concealed on the back doors, and a charging port hidden behind the Renault logo on the front of the vehicle.
We can see a sense of renewal in the back area thanks to the LED lights.
2. Mechanical framework
Because the Renault Zoe was conceived from the beginning as an all-electric vehicle, a unique tuning program had to be carried out that was very different from the rest of the range of diamond signature vehicles.
This allowed Renault Zoe to stand out from the competition.
In terms of the mechanical component, all available options are connected to an identical electric motor but use a variety of batteries.
The motorization produces between 109 and 136 horsepower, which is intended for the front axle, and automatic transmission gear pairs control the entire system without a clutch.
The power is distributed between the front and rear axles.
The range’s entry-level version is distinguished by its outfitted battery with a net capacity of 40 kWh, is a liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery, and has a homologated range in the WLTP cycle of 300 kilometers.
Additionally, it has an officially declared average consumption of 17.2 kWh for every one hundred kilometers traveled.
The following represents the highest possible value, making all of these figures look better.
This is demonstrated by the fact that its 52 kWh battery is also made of lithium-ion and that its cooling is accomplished with liquid.
In your specific case, according to the WLTP cycle, it offers a homologated range of 386 kilometers between charges; however, it indeed consumes somewhat more power, consuming 17.7 kWh for every one hundred kilometers traveled.
Both can brag about having the Zero emissions label from the Directorate General of Traffic, which cannot be the case otherwise (DGT).
Precisely, the latter commented on is a novelty compared to the others, operating concurrently with an electric motor that moves the front axle through a direct transmission with a single ratio.
It generates approximately 136 horsepower, has a maximum torque of 245 Newton meters, and can accelerate from zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in fewer than ten seconds.
Regarding recharging it, it should be mentioned that it comes with a charging port known as Chameleon, which adapts its output to the current and power level it is given to finish the process as quickly as humanly possible.
The battery is compatible with a rapid charging system with a maximum power output of fifty kilowatts.
It is essential to remember that one can gain approximately 150 kilometers of autonomy in half an hour when using a combo-CSS charger.
However, having a Wallbox, which is a 7 kW wall charger that can charge from 0 to 80% in less than 10 hours and that can be placed both in an individual home and in a community garage, although the latter requires authorization from the neighborhood and the installation of an additional meter, might be worthwhile.
Wall boxes can be purchased for as little as $600. By sending the information to the computer in the passenger compartment, you can use the My Renault application to locate the vehicle, monitor how its charge is progressing, and plan trips per the vehicle’s potential range and available charging stations.
3. Interior equipment
The Renault Zoe interior is available in various trim levels, including Entry, Life, Intent, and Bose.
In general, it is possible to say that it has worked more, which has resulted in an improvement in both the equipment and the quality of the materials used, particularly the latter. The Access version comes with standard features such as air conditioning, climate control, charging cables, a 7-inch multimedia system, light and rain sensors, a connection for mobile devices, and an infotainment system.
For its part, the top-of-the-line model comes equipped with a multimedia screen measuring 9.3 inches, a browser, a rear camera, keyless entry and start, and other features that contribute to the vehicle’s overall safety its operation.
Specifically, the Intent has wheels 16 inches in diameter, light and rain sensors, climate control, and rear parking sensors.
On the other hand, the Bose is available in exclusive body colors such as Metallic Grey, an R-Link Bose audio system, a rearview camera, and leather upholstery. All of these features come standard.
4. The Price
The Renault Zoe can be purchased in the market for an approximate price of 27,478$; however, this price may be reduced if you take advantage of any offer or promotion that may be available.
The remaining variants have prices that are either marginally lower than 30,000 dollars or noticeably higher, as is the case with the most prestacionales.
5. Competitive alternatives in the market
Following this in-depth examination of the Renault Zoe, it would be beneficial to broaden our perspective by comparing some aspects of that vehicle’s performance to those of another model that is, without a doubt, very similar. We have decided to go with the Peugeot e-208 for this particular event.
Peugeot e-208
The Peugeot e-208 is the electric version of the 208, as its name suggests. It differs aesthetically from the 208 by some changes in the grille, the bumper, the charging socket, and inside the passenger compartment with certain specific details due to its distinction as having Zero Emissions.
Our main character is 4.05 meters longer, 1.43 meters taller, and 1.74 meters wider, whereas this object is 4.05 meters shorter, 1.43 meters lower, and 1.74 meters wider.
It is limited to its 100 kW engine, which produces 136 horsepower, and has a maximum torque of 260 Nm.
Regarding the first detail that was mentioned, it does not have several versions at the mechanical level.
Instead, it has these specifications: To accomplish this, it is equipped with a lithium-ion battery with a gross capacity of 50 kWh, which supplies it with the energy it requires at all times.
This allows it to homologate approximately 362 kilometers of autonomy when measured using the WLTP cycle.
Despite all of this, it is at the same levels as the top of the range of the Zoe, even slightly exceeding it in maximum torque, but it falls short of it in terms of autonomy.
Regarding its recharging capabilities, it has the potential to be up to 11 kW in alternating current and up to 100 kW in the direct current; therefore, when using the latter, it can fill up to 80% of its capacity in approximately half an hour.
Inside, a similar concept is presented, with appropriate materials and digital equipment warranty across all three levels; however, it draws attention to the small size of the steering wheel, which is flattened above and below.
If that is what the customer wants, it can have a very athletic appearance.
Finally, as the highest trim level available for the 208, the GT finish comes in at approximately 34,100 dollars, making it the most expensive trim level available.
This is because it “surpasses” some slack 30,000 dollars. As a result, obtaining it will require more effort and financial sacrifice.
