Renault ZOE 2013 pictures

The Renault Zoe is one of the French brand's growing range of electric cars. 

The Renault Zoe is set to rival cars like the VW e-up and the Nissan Leaf. 

The dash in the Renault Zoe is neat, with a pop-out-style panel that holds the climate controls and a touch screen display for sat-nav, Bluetooth and other features. 

The Renault Zoe comes with an electric motor that produces 87bhp in normal mode and 60bhp in eco mode. 

With 220Nm of torque available almost immediately, the Renault Zoe has decent acceleration off the mark. 

The large front badge on the Renault Zoe flips out to double as the charging point. 

The conventional gear selector and handbrake mean that the Renault Zoe feels surprisingly normal to drive. 

It takes from 30 minutes to nine hours to charge but, from a household socket, it will take up to 15 hours. 

The Renault Zoe was awarded a 5-star Euro NCAP crash test rating, thanks in part to its 6 airbags. 

Renault claims the Zoe has a range of 130 miles per charge. However in real terms, the car will do around 100 miles. 

The boot capacity in the Renault Zoe is 388 litres, significantly more than its rivals. 

This is the most promising fully electric car to come from Renault, but there is still room for improvement.
