The new ZOE will arrive at the end of this year with interesting new features

Renault is already carrying out tests on some French roads with several test units of the new Zoe conveniently camouflaged.

The Renault Zoe is one of the oldest electric vehicles on the market today and, although it is true that it has been receiving some improvements throughout this time, the truth is that the French firm needs to be given a new, more renovated look to continue competing in the market.

In order for the Zoe to maintain its crown as one of the best-selling electric vehicles in Europe, Renault plans to market a completely renewed version at the end of this year.

Although the exterior design of this new Zoe will undergo some changes, Where this renovation will really be noticed will be in the interior of the vehicleThe new Zoe will feature a new instrument panel, dashboard changes and a new Easy Link user interface.

The front of the new Zoe could be inspired by the e-Sport concept

Test versions of the new Zoe have already been seen on some French roads; although as is usually the case in these cases, before taking them out onto the streets the manufacturer has taken care to camouflage them appropriately so as not to reveal their design. However, some sources indicate that the new Zoe will have a new front, inspired by the Zoe e-Sport concept announced a couple of years ago by Renault.

In addition to this slight change in the external design and the significant renovation of the interior of the vehicle, the new Zoe will also include a new propulsion system. The electric motor will be updated, with a new, slightly more powerful version. Thus, it will go from the current 107 hp to 109 hp. But that's not all, as Renault will also offer it as an option another even more powerful engine of 130 HP.

The battery could also be upgraded and although its capacity is still unknown, what is known is that The vehicle's autonomy will be greaterIf the current Zoe offers 400 km under the NEDC homologation cycle, this new Zoe will offer those same 400 km but under the new, stricter WLTP homologation cycle.

Greater autonomy under the new WLTP cycle

It is not known, however, whether this increase in autonomy will be achieved thanks to a new battery pack with greater capacity or, perhaps, solely as a result of the greater efficiency of the new motors and some aerodynamic improvements.

Finally, as expected, the new Zoe will not be left behind with respect to the current market trend. Thanks to a new CCS Combo connector, It will be able to charge in direct current at a maximum power of 100 kWThis way you can take advantage of the growing number of charging points with CCS Combo connector available in Europe.
