Renault ZOE cars

What types of used Renault Zoe cars are there?

Used Renault Zoe cars have been around for a little while and are among the favourite options for dipping into the world of electric cars.   

It’s bagged awards for its abilities across the board and has a loyal fanbase thanks to that reliable Renault engineering.  

Part of the charm of a used Zoe is that it’s modern and sleek to look at, but you can’t immediately tell it's an electric car. This is ideal for those who aren’t quite sure about the world of electric power and don’t see the appeal of the popular spaceship-looking models.   

On the inside, the Zoe is compact but comfortable and provides a 338-litre boot. You’ll easily be able to seat five, and it’s spacious enough that it would make for a functional, small family car.   

You can choose from a range of trims, including the sporty GT Line models and the sleek S Edition Nav.

What features does the Renault Zoe have?

There are a few used Renault Zoe models available across the range, but each one gets a healthy offering of features.   

The Zoe Iconic is impressively kitted-out and is a popular choice. To add an even greener feel to your electric car, you can get recycled fabric seat upholstery that’s still modern and looks sleek.   

There’s also Apple CarPlay and Android Auto built-in, wireless phone charging, and a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment setup.   

The Zoe GT models are considered the current range-toppers, offering even more tech. This one gets synthetic leather accents on the upholstery with that recycled fabric alongside, plus an upgraded 9.3-inch touchscreen.   

You get additional driver aids in the GT models too like rear-view reversing camera, blind spot warning, and front and rear parking sensors.

Is the Renault Zoe reliable?

Being an electric car, the Renault Zoe is a reliable car simply because it has fewer moving parts than a conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) car. This means there's just an electric motor that powers the front wheels.

How much does the Renault Zoe cost to run?

Being fully electric, a used Zoe should be relatively affordable to run. Thanks to its solid aerodynamics and with the right tyres, you should be able to reach the claimed 238-mile range.

Recharging its 52kWh battery should take between 25 minutes and nine hours depending on what kind of charger you use. The cost of this will vary on the speed of the charger or your home energy plan, but a slow overnight charge should cost significantly less.

Who is the Renault Zoe suitable for?

A used Renault Zoe is the perfect small EV for first-time electric car buyers or for those who live in large cities. It's small and has a long range for its size making it good for small families too.

There are other options out there such as the Fiat 500e, Mini Electric and Peugeot e-208.
