NEW RENAULT ZOE AT SMITHS RENAULT PETERBOROUGH

Join the electric revolution with the award-winning Renault ZOE 100% electric car. Using cutting edge technology allowing an NEDC range of up to 250 miles*, it’s easy to see how electric motoring is the future. Renault were the first manufacturer to offer a range of electric vehicle options, and Smiths was one of the first Renault dealers in the UK to offer electric vehicles to the public, meaning that between us we have many years of experience helping customers integrate electric motoring into their lives.

Exterior Design

Designed from the ground up as an electric vehicle, the Renault ZOE offers the very latest in automotive technology, wrapped up in a sleek and stylish supermini body. With distinctive LED daytime running lights as well as streamlined headlights and rear lights the ZOE will stand out from the crowd both during the day and at night.

ZOE features rear door handles integrated into the door frame (and branded with the designer's fingerprint) to streamline the car’s profile and create the look of a 3-door while maintaining the practicality of a 5-door.

Updated for 2017, the ZOE features a range of new colour and alloy wheel choices along with several small styling tweaks to the exterior to maintain the car’s modern appearance.

Interior Design

The Renault ZOE’s interior offers a spacious, inviting atmosphere with lots of thoughtful touches throughout the cabin, while still reflecting the car’s eco credentials. The seats are inspired by those found in French high-speed trains offering excellent comfort levels and feature the Z.E. signature on the headrests.

Each model in the ZOE range offers its own interior ambiance. Dynamique Nav models are available with an optional blue interior colour pack to add a dash of colour to your ZOE’s cabin; while the Signature Nav edition includes high quality, leather covered seats to further enhance passenger comfort.

You'll love every moment you spend in the Renault ZOE.

Driver & Passenger Comfort

The Renault ZOE offers drivers and passengers comfort, peace of mind and driving pleasure with a range of technologies to enhance the travelling experience.

The Renault ZOE uses a direct drive gearbox meaning there are no gears to change, making progress smooth and driving in city traffic a joy.

Plus, with features such as rain-sensitive wipers, automatic lights, electrically folding door mirrors and automatic climate control, features usually associated with larger cars, the ZOE aims to make your life as easy as possible.

To take passenger welfare even further, the “Take Care by Renault” pack, which comes as standard on ZOE Signature Nav models, includes an air quality sensor and ioniser to keep the atmosphere in the car’s cabin in the optimum condition.

R-LINK

All ZOE models come fitted with Renault’s R-Link multi-media system fitted as standard. Featuring a 7” touchscreen display, TomTom LIVE satellite navigation and a range of multi-media and car control functions, R-Link is simple to use and enriches the ZOE driving experience.

The satellite navigation system included with R-Link shows the location of charging stations along your route so if you’re heading further afield than a single change can take you, you’ll know where you can top-up your battery to continue your journey - The system even allows you to choose the most efficient route for your journey.

R-Link also comes with its own app store allowing you to add additional functionality to your car including e-mail, weather information and Renault Assistance. Many of the apps are free to download allowing you to personalise your car based on your personal requirements.

Safety

Renault has been at the forefront of vehicle safety for many years and the Renault ZOE continues this tradition with the car's engineers have paying special attention to the safety of the battery which is built into the floor of the ZOE. In fact, it was named “Best Supermini” 2013 by Euro NCAP after it was awarded a 5-star crash test safety rating.

Range

The Renault ZOE fitted with the new Z.E. 40 battery offers an NEDC range of up to 250 miles*. However, this range is achieved under laboratory conditions and is designed to be used for comparison purposes only. Renault believes that this translates into a range of between 124 miles in winter conditions and 186 miles in more temperate conditions – but a number of factors will influence the achievable range.​

Climate conditions

Like all batteries, those in Z.E. vehicles are less efficient in cold weather than at ambient temperature.

Topography

When you are driving uphill, more energy is consumed which affects driving range, while driving downhill recuperates energy.

Driving style

Adapt to a more relaxed, gentle driving style by limiting your acceleration and using regenerative braking.

Speed

The faster you drive, the more energy you need to maintain your speed.

The Renault ZOE comes fitted with a range of advanced technologies to ensure you get the maximum range possible out of each battery charge:

1. Regenerative Braking

The ZOE's braking system is designed to recover the energy normally lost when slowing down or braking. When you take your foot off the accelerator, or press the brake pedal, the battery automatically begins to recharge helping to optomise the car's range.

2. Heat Pump

The ZOE's heating and ventilation system has been specifically designed to have as little impact on range as possible. To cool the car the system works the same as traditional air conditioning, but to heat the car it works like air conditioning in reverse - a much more efficient method than other car heaters.

3. Michelin Energy E-V Tyres

ZOE is fitted with tyre specifically designed by Michelin for electric vehicles. Energy E-V Tyres offer extra-low rolling resistance to extend range without compromising road holding or braking ability.

4. Chameleon Charger

A Renault innovation, the Chameleon Charger fitted to the Renault ZOE ensures the car is charged using the maximum power available no matter what charger the car is connected to, reducing recharging times. For example, the Q90 motor can charge from 0% to 80% from as little as 65 minutes using the fastest charger type.

5. Pre-conditioning

While your ZOE is plugged-in you can pre-condition the passenger compartment - This means you can heat or cool the car's interior to your desired temperature before you get inside and means the car's battery is not used to achieve this.This function works through the Z.E. Interactive app, a charge of this service may apply after the first year.

Battery & Charging

Fitted to ZOE Dynamique Nav and Signature Nav models, the brand new Z.E. 40 battery gives the Renault ZOE a range of up to 250 miles* NEDC on a single charge. Developed by Renault in conjunction with LG, the battery uses high-density lithium-ion technology to increase battery storage capacity without increasing the battery’s size or weight and without sacrificing safety or reliability – a truly amazing achievement.

The battery is located under the ZOE’s floor to keep the centre of gravity low and improve the car’s handling it is simply to recharge, requires no maintenance and is easy to recycle at the end of its life.

Charging is easy

Charging your ZOE couldn't be simpler, you can even use one of the two Renault Z.E. apps to check on the status of your car's charge while you're away from the vehicle^.

There are many places you can plug-in your ZOE for a battery top-up:

At home - With your free⁽¹⁾ Wall-Box you can charge ZOE Z.E. 40 from 0-100% in 7h 30 mins, typically overnight when you’re asleep^^.

On your journey at public charging points - Chargers can be found at every motorway service station, and in many more places.

At your destination - Whether you’re in town browsing the shops or at your local supermarket, many places now offer charging points compatible with your ZOE.
