The Renault Zoe is everything a French supermini should be – small, practical, affordable and fun to drive. It also just happens to be an electric car and has been sold since 2013, so there’s a good selection of used models to choose from.
Earlier models have a battery range of up to 130 miles on a full charge, while the newer version (pictured), built from 2020, has a range of up to 247 miles. With some older versions, you may need to pay a separate leasing fee (of between £49 and £110 per month) for the battery.
Whichever version you choose, the Zoe is excellent value for money. It’s also surprisingly spacious, with good legroom and a large boot for a car this size. To top it all it’s enjoyable to drive, with nippy acceleration and a smooth ride.
