A 100% electric propulsion utility, the Renault ZOE is today the spearhead of the French diamond brand in the field of electric cars. Since, after the upgrade registered, in 2017, in the batteries, whose power rose to 41 kWh, the French model is now preparing to receive a more powerful variant, which should increase to a more substantial 110 hp (20% more ), instead of the current 92 hp.
As a way of distinguishing itself from the version already on sale, the new Renault ZOE will stand out for adopting the commercial name R110, a number that derives precisely from the declared power — 110 hp. There is currently no confirmation whether this new version will replace the current one or complement it, which would result in a ZOE R90.

On the other hand, and in addition to this increase in power, the same sources say that the new Renault ZOE will also have a CCS Combo charging system, for fast DC charging. Although and by all indications, it should also maintain the possibility of three-phase AC charging, for charging capacities of up to 22 kWh.News also planned in the field of security, namely, through an increase in the available equipment, as well as in aspects such as lighting, which could change to LED. Not forgetting new comfort equipment, such as heated seats.
growing success
This new version of the Renault ZOE couldn't come at a better time. 2017 was its best year, totaling just over 30,000 units in the European market — which represents almost 9,000 more than in 2016.
Arrival is scheduled for the summer, but there is a strong chance of seeing the Renault ZOE R110 already during the next Geneva Motor Show, which opens its doors on 6 March.
