This will be the first Renault EV to feature the new 80kW powerplant which combines extra power with even greater driving enjoyment.
Despite being the same size as the R90, the R110 is 16hp more powerful than its predecessor.
Drivers will benefit from stronger acceleration performance when travelling at higher speeds as the new motor shaves almost two seconds off Zoe’s 80-120kph time.
This is a significant improvement which provides even greater peace of mind at higher speeds.
At lower speeds the R110 packs the same punch as the R90 from which it is derived thanks to the instant availability of peak torque of 225Nm, making Zoe as nimble as ever in urban areas.
The new R110 motor is the latest in Renault’s electric motor development and production strategy and is further evidence of its expertise as Europe’s number one electric vehicle manufacturer.
The R110 has been created specifically by Renault – an evolution of the R90, developed in just two years – and is made at the Cléon plant in Normandy having been designed by engineers based at both the Renault Technocentre and Cléon.
In addition to carrying over the R90’s outstanding energy efficiency, the R110 packs a combination of electrical machine- and power electronics-related innovations that have yielded an extra 12kW with no increase in either weight or volume.
Android Auto-enabled R-LINK Evolution will be available for 2018-model-year Zoe, which means drivers will be able to display driving-compatible Android applications stored on their smartphone (including Waze, Deezer, Spotify, TuneIn, Skype, Messenger, Audible and many others available from Google Play Store) on their car’s multimedia screen.
The 2018 model-year Zoe range features a stylish new dark metallic purple body colour: Aconite.
Available from the Dynamique Nav version, the ZOE can also be specified with the new Purple Interior Pack which includes a violet satin finish for the dashboard trim strip and air vent, gear lever base, loudspeaker surrounds, top stitching along with black and violet fabric upholstery.
