2018 Renault Zoe review: Still a worthy contender?

Once upon a time, the Zoe was the brightest sign of a future that promised affordable electric motoring for everyday commuters. Now that it's finally in Australia, does it still hold so much promise, with so many compelling rivals either on the scene or on the way?

my wife love that Car, we have Zom 40 for about half year, the cost has been very LOW.. and even with the R90 engine, its still fun to drive.

Problem with electric cars is that they are expensive

[steveallen]

So I could buy a Corolla and pay for solar panels on my house and both of my neighbours for the price of this car!

[dlpereira]

Surprised if they sell any at all. Ionic and Leaf are way better options for less money.

Um $50k?! I thought it was going to be like $20k..

[Zzzxxx]

If its 20k I might pretend I care about the environment

Renault Australia are again taking the piss with a $59K ASKING PRICE. The interior is cheap and flimsy and it looks like shit on the outside. Nissan Australia still haven't learned their lesson from 2012 with the Leaf. That will also be over $60k with an air cooled battery and over 2 years late. Another company throwing us overpriced garbage.

Buy a Suzuki Swift GLX Turbo (bursting with safety kit) and pocket $25, 000 for future petrol purchases. Are they having a laugh?

[unknowntraveller]

Storage is woeful the car is woeful, old fashion cheap finish no tech save your money and by a hybrid.

[bextar]

Homely and over priced little beast....
