The electric-powered cute small car battle is getting serious now. You"ve seen the retro Honda e, the sporty Peugeot e208 and its Vauxhall e-Corsa cousin, and now there"s this. The new Renault Zoe. And it wants to be the most versatile of the lot. For a kick-off, you can choose two different motors. There"s an 80kW (106bhp) motor if you"re not in a hurry, or for speedier sorts, a new 100kW (132bhp) power unit. How"s this for technical progress. Back in 2012, the original Renault Zoe managed only 93 miles of range from its 22kWh battery. By 2016, that"d been doubled. Three years on, and this Zoe comes as standard with a 52kWh battery, good for a claimed 242 miles of range the same as a Jaguar I-Pace.
