Renault Zoé: a new trim level and ever-increasing prices

With the arrival of the Mégane e-Tech, the Zoe has somewhat taken a back seat, at least in Renault’s communication. Nonetheless, the diamond badge brand does not forget its electric city car, which still occupies an important place in the electric market.

The Zoe is indeed undergoing slight adjustments as summer approaches. The car remains unchanged, but the lineup now features a new top trim called Iconic, replacing the Techno version. The rest of the offer still consists of the entry-level Equilibre and the intermediate level Evolution, trims already present in the previous lineup.

Some cosmetic updates

The Zoe Iconic introduces new 17-inch wheels. In a gray color, they are decorated with gold finishes. The grille and the surrounding trim of the fog lights also adopt a similar gold hue. A side sticker on the lower part of the doors and a new fabric series with gold piping are also introduced.

As standard, the Zoe Iconic features a large 9.3-inch touchscreen (compared to 7 inches on the rest of the range). Furthermore, it is the only version that comes with automatic high beam switching, blind spot alert, rearview camera, Easy Park Assist parking aid, and wireless charging as standard. However, the quick-charge Combo DC 50 kW is an optional extra costing €1,000. A shale gray color option for €550 is also available in the options list. This new hue is also available on other trims.

At the other end of the range, the Equilibre Zoe comes equipped with cruise control, a keyless entry system, manual air conditioning, and a 7-inch touchscreen. The intermediate Evolution trim adds traffic sign recognition, lane keeping assist, regulated air conditioning, smartphone duplication on the instrument cluster, and built-in navigation.
