Summary

The Renault Zoe R90 is a 5-seat hatchback with front-wheel drive, sold new from 2017 to 2018, when it cost £23,770 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 13.5 seconds, slower than 99% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 158 miles (255 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That puts it among the shortest-range 10% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 50th of 67 hatchbacks.

It uses around 3.9 mi/kWh (161 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 41 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 0 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 113 miles (182 km) at motorway speeds.

No heat pump is listed for this version, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand, a 2017 example is estimated at £3,400–£5,300 and a 2018 one at £4,000–£5,900, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2017 car should still manage about 132 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
