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 revamped version of an EV pioneer, offering improved styling, tech, range, and performance. It's a brisk and smooth electric supermini, particularly agile in urban settings, and comfortable enough for motorway driving. Its airy and spacious cabin, along with a 338-litre boot, provides good practicality for its class.

Running costs are exceptionally affordable, with home charging significantly cheaper than petrol/diesel, and the Zoe is exempt from VED and London's Congestion Charge. While the battery lease option is gone, ownership is straightforward. An optional 50kW DC Rapid Charge upgrade allows for quick public charging, though home charging takes around nine hours. Despite its competitive nature and improved performance, its poor Euro NCAP safety rating and strong rivals are points of concern.

Best for: Drivers seeking an affordable, practical, and efficient small electric car, urban commuters, and those looking for low running costs.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising top-tier safety ratings (Euro NCAP), those who need rapid charging as standard, or those who desire a more premium badge/driving experience than its rivals offer.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Zoe if: You're on a budget for an EV, seeking a practical and efficient small electric car for urban commuting, or prioritising low running costs.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise top-tier safety ratings (Euro NCAP), need rapid charging as standard, or desire a more premium badge/driving experience than its rivals offer.

Competitive Position: The Renault Zoe (2020-2024) remains a competitive option in the electric supermini market, benefiting from its earlier pioneering status and recent updates. It offers good practicality, comfortable driving, and exceptionally low running costs, making it appealing for budget-conscious EV buyers. However, its poor Euro NCAP safety rating and the rise of strong rivals like the Peugeot e-208, Vauxhall Corsa Electric, and the larger, cheaper MG4 mean it's no longer the default choice. While it provides good value, buyers seeking cutting-edge safety or standard rapid charging might look elsewhere.
