Reviewed a 2020 Renault Zoe on 5 Aug 2023
We were looking for a small car with good range without it costing the earth. Looking at prices we targeted a Renault Zoe, R135 GT Line with Rapid/ CCS charging. Neither my wife or myself had ever driven an automatic or EV. We were amazed at the vehicle, nice drive and handling, very brisk and the level of tech with newer/ EVs is impressive. In fact there is so much tech on board I dont know if we will ever find everything but if you are looking for a second user EV, with great spec, great range a used Renault Zoe is a great starting point. Checking prices on CarGurus helped to give us an idea of what sort of prices these vehicles were going for....seems second user vehicles are now affordable for many, thanks.

Renault Zoe (2020-2024) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Long range for a small EV | Poor Euro NCAP safety rating |
| Good to drive | Not as desirable as some rivals |
| Practical cabin | Rapid charging ability costs extra |
Quick Summary
The Renault Zoe (2020-2024) is a thoroughly revamped electric supermini that builds on the model's pioneering heritage. The second-generation Zoe features new styling, improved interior technology, an increased driving range, and enhanced performance with a more powerful electric motor delivering 134bhp. With a lofty seating position typical of electric cars, the Zoe offers good visibility and an airy cabin. The five-door layout provides easy access to rear seats, whilst the 338-litre boot is generous for a supermini, though a large load lip and step in the load area when folding seats can be inconvenient.
The Zoe is exceptionally smooth and quiet to drive, zipping around town effortlessly with its responsive electric motor. Ride quality is mostly good, and it feels composed on motorways and reasonably fun on quiet B-roads. Running costs are exceptionally affordable compared to petrol or diesel cars, with home charging costing roughly half the price of a full tank of fuel. The model is exempt from Vehicle Excise Duty and London's Congestion Charge. Renault has ditched the battery lease option, making ownership simpler and improving resale values. However, the Zoe's EuroNCAP safety rating is a concern, and rapid DC charging requires an optional upgrade costing extra.
Best for: Budget-conscious EV buyers seeking a practical, affordable electric supermini with good range and smooth, quiet driving characteristics.
Not ideal for: Those prioritising top safety ratings, buyers wanting rapid charging as standard, or those seeking a more desirable or premium electric car.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Renault Zoe | 3/5 | 4.7/5 | 34.1% | 4.1/5 |
| MG4 | 4/5 | 4.5/5 | 36.5% | 4.3/5 |
| Nissan Leaf | 3/5 | 3.8/5 | 32.1% | 4.1/5 |
| MINI Electric | 4/5 | 4.0/5 | 37.4% | 4.3/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the Zoe if: You're a budget-conscious EV buyer seeking a practical, affordable electric supermini with good range and smooth, quiet driving characteristics.
Consider alternatives if: You prioritise top safety ratings, want rapid charging as standard, or seek a more desirable or premium electric car.
Competitive Position: The Renault Zoe remains a competitive and likeable electric supermini with long range and practical appeal. However, it now faces impressive rivals including the MG4, which offers better value and more power, and the MINI Electric, which boasts greater desirability. The Zoe's poor EuroNCAP safety rating is a significant concern that may deter safety-conscious buyers. Whilst the Zoe is still tempting if you find a great deal, it is no longer the default choice in the affordable electric supermini segment. The MG4 and MINI Electric offer stronger overall propositions for most buyers.
