Renault Zoe Hatchback 80kW Iconic R110 50kWh Rapid Charge 5dr Auto Owner Review

Traded up from a 2016 Nissan Leaf (22kw) and in terms of battery size and tech, the car is a big improvement. My Zoe has a CCS socket which in itself is an upgrade from the Leaf's Chademo one. Obviously, the bigger battery means longer range - around 200+ miles - and considering I bought a 3 year old low mileage Zoe with a 5 year warranty for under £9k, has got to be a bargain. The zero safety score didn't come into consideration, as although it is missing adaptive safety systems, it is still a safe car to be in. Watch out for the front doors though! The shallow curve at the top edge of the door catch me just above the eyelid and cut me. The wind blew the door back in my direction! Nice interior and Carplay works well. My only wish would have been for adaptive cruise control. Although I didn't have it in the leaf, I've used it in my previous Ioniq electric. Nice thing to have. Test drive the car and judge it for yourself.
