The main highlight of the EV is under the hood. It is powered by a 52kWh battery pack, pushing out 134PS of power and 245Nm of torque. This propels the hatchback from 0-100kmph in 9.5 seconds and gives it a top speed of 140kmph. It boasts a WTLP-claimed range of 385km on a single charge, which is more than a match for the Nexon Ev's claimed range of 312km. It also supports fast charging with a 0-80 per cent charge in 1 hour and 10 minutes.

While there is no indication of a launch date for the Renault Zoe, hopes are high considering the recent influx of EVs in India. If it goes on sale in India, it could compete against the likes of the Tata Nexon EV, Mahindra XUV300 Electric as well as the Mahindra eKUV100 considering its range capacity.
