Renault has confirmed that the 2018 Renault Zoe will be priced from £18,420 and offer a 186-mile real-world range.

Order books are open for the all-electric hatch, with deliveries expected in late summer.

A new R110 electric motor boosts power by 16PS without affecting range.

The new Zoe has been simplified with a choice of two trim levels, Dynamique Nav and Signature Nav.

For customers more likely to use public rapid chargers whilst travelling longer distances, the Q90 option is still available with both trim levels. This charges the Zoe to 80% in just over an hour when using a 43kW charge point. The MY18 Zoe Q90 with ZE40 battery provides an estimated real-world range of 174 miles.

The now entry level Dynamique Nav offers hands-free keycard, automatic lights and wipers, rear parking sensors, cruise control, climate control, seven-inch R-Link infotainment system with voice-controlled TomTom sat nav, electric windows and LED Daytime Running Lights.

The top-of-the-range Signature Nav adds further luxury with features such as leather upholstery, Bose audio system, heated front seats, electrically folding door mirrors and a rear parking camera. 

Since its launch in the UK in 2013, Renault has almost doubled the Zoe’s range thanks to technological advancements such as an increased battery capacity and a more efficient motor. With the ZE40 battery, Renault estimates the Zoe’s range in real-world driving conditions equates to around 186 miles in summer and 124 miles in cold winter.

Zoe continues to be available to purchase in two ways. First, under a battery hire scheme, where Zoe pricing starts at £18,240 after the Government Plug-in Car Grant, with battery leasing from £59 per month.

You can also buy the Zoe outright. Zoe i ‘full purchase’ models start from £24,020 after the Government Plug-in Car Grant, giving the buyer full ownership of the battery with no monthly battery lease payments.
