  • Renault ZOE - Crash & Safety Tests 2021

    As consumers are nudged from all sides to switch to battery electric cars, it is no surprise that some car manufactures are launching more affordable products on the market that can appeal to a wider audience. Renault has been amongst the first to successfully capture the market with the popular ZOE launched in 2013. The “new” ZOE, a facelift introduced in 2020, received several battery improvements but no added safety. On the contrary, the seat-mounted side airbag which previously protected head and thorax has been replaced by a less effective thorax-only airbag, representing a degradation in occupant protection. The new ZOE offers poor protection in crashes overall, poor vulnerable road user protection and lacks meaningful crash avoidance technology, disqualifying it for any stars.

  • 2019 New Renault ZOE Z.E. 50 in Celadon Blue Colour tests drive in Sardinia

    Renault’s electric runabout has been on the market since 2012 – with a big update in 2016 – so time has come for the Zoe to make the transition to a thoroughly revised version. Judging solely by the exterior styling, some would be tempted to say it’s more of the same, but in reality, the zero-emissions city car has gone through quite a few changes to better rival new competition coming from the Peugeot e-208 and the Opel Corsa-e.Growing from a 22-kWh battery pack of the original version to a 41-kWh setup of the Zoe Z.E. 40 launched a couple of years ago, the Zoe is now getting an even larger 52-kWh pack. Known as the Zoe Z.E. 50, the pint-sized EV can travel for as much as 390 kilometers (242 miles) on a single charge based on the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP), which is 20 percent more than before.To “fill up” the battery pack, the charging socket remains hidden behind the Renault logo on the front grille where you’ll find both the type-2 socket for AC charging and the two-pin connector for DC charging for up to 50 kW. A full recharge takes 9 hours and 25 minutes from a 7kW wallbox or 8 hours if you estimate around 306 kilometers (190 miles) of charge will be enough for your next trip.
