In June 2019, Renault introduced an updated version of the Zoe electric hatchback. The latter debuted back in two thousand and twelve, while the current modernization of the model is the most ambitious.

Externally, the new Renault Zoe 2020 model year has changed slightly. The electric car received new bumpers, but stylistically they are similar to the previous ones. But in the basic configuration, the car has a fully LED optics, while the rear turn signals are made in the form of a running line.

As part of a planned restyling, the French electric hatchback received a completely new interior, a distinctive feature of which was synthetic seat upholstery made from recycled materials. The dashboard on Renault Zoe is virtual with a 10-inch display, which displays not only stylish hand-drawn scales, but also navigation maps.

In turn, the multimedia model has acquired a 9.3-inch tablet (instead of a 7.0″ screen), while there is support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto interfaces. Plus, the French have expanded the functionality of remote access from a smartphone.

A new climate control unit was registered on the center console, in the rotating handles of which miniature displays were built. In addition, the electric car received a non-fixed transmission selector and a servo button instead of a parking brake lever. Fully diode interior lighting is designed to please passengers.

The technical stuffing of the Renault Zoe 2020 has also been improved. First of all, the French abandoned the low-powered 88- and 92-horsepower versions, so the hatchback is equipped with a 108-horsepower electric motor in the base. (225 Nm). Before restyling, the latter was considered the most powerful in the line, but now there is a new top-end option.

We are talking about an electric motor with a capacity of 135 forces and 245 Nm of torque. A hatchback with a base engine accelerates from standstill to hundreds in 11.4 seconds, and with a top engine in 10.0 seconds. In the first case, the electric car can be accelerated up to 135 km/h, and in the second case, up to 145 km/h.

The engines are powered by a lithium-ion battery, the capacity of which has been increased from 41 to 52 kWh. As a result, on a single charge, the new Renault Zoe is able to cover up to 390 km (according to the WLTP cycle), that is, 63 km more than the pre-reform version.

At the same time, the updated compact can now be charged with both alternating and direct current. It is reported that when using a special terminal with a power of 50 kW, the power reserve can be replenished by about 150 kilometers in just half an hour.

The new driving mode "B" is intended to contribute to the maximum range. When activated, the driver can control acceleration and braking solely with the power pedal, only occasionally resorting to the brake pedal if necessary.

As for the equipment of the Zoe, the French electric car is equipped with a valet parking, automatic braking and some other electronic assistants. Plus, the company abandoned drum rear brakes in favor of disc brakes.

Sales of Renault Zoe in a new body on the European market are scheduled for the fall of the nineteenth year. Restyled hatchbacks will be somewhat more expensive than pre-reform ones, but official prices are still unknown. Meanwhile, the model is one of the most popular electric vehicles in Europe - more than 150 thousand copies have been sold for all time.

In May 2012, at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the public was presented with the serial version of the two-seater Renault Twizi electric car. Formally, Renault Twizy is an ATV or, as skeptics call it, a golf cart, or even a bicycle registered with the traffic police. However, according to the documents, this baby is an electric car, and the most interesting of the entire Renault lineup.

Yes, and the French prefer to call it an urban microcar. They produce an electric car in Spain, at a plant in the city of Valladolid.

In the Renault Twizy electric car, the passenger seat is located behind the driver's seat. For each rider, a pillow and a seat belt are provided: for the driver - a four-point one, and for a passenger a three-point one. In addition, for safety, brakes on all four wheels.

An electric car was built on the basis of tubular chassis, which was developed by Renault Sport specialists. The car turned out to be quite light ( 473kg) due to its small dimensions: 2337mm, 1234 and 1454 respectively in length, width and height. Thanks to this, it has good maneuverability.

Each of the proposed three complete electric car includes two versions each, one of which is designed for drivers with categories "B" (driving a car). The maximum speed of this variant is 80 km/h. Another option is offered for anyone over the age of sixteen (European version). But, in it the speed was limited to 45 km / h. The Twizy 45 electric motor has only 5 HP. (torque 33 Nm), against Twizy 80, in which it is 17 HP(torque 57 Nm).

Exterior

The exterior of the Renault Twizy is quite unusual, not to be compared with other electric vehicles.

The Renault electric car is really more like a golf car, but it is a compact car with a length of 2.3 meters. Compared to sedans, this is about half. Due to the unusual placement of the seats, the width of the car was modest - 1.2 meters (against 1.6 m, for example, for Smart). The designers perfectly coped with the other task assigned to them, reducing the cost of the design as much as possible. For this, plastic was chosen as the main material for the car, and the base package does not even have doors, not like side windows.

Yellow Renault Twizy F1

For the passenger, the seat is not very comfortable, because there is not enough of it. It is also less convenient for a driver with a passenger to ride than alone, since in this case he has to move closer to the steering wheel. The “armrests” for the driver are the forward legs of the passenger. Bad weather is also fraught with trouble for the passenger: due to the lack of windows, rain and dirt flies on him. In a word, Twizy is better suited for one person.

Car back view

There is no central lock in the car either, so anyone can sit in it.

At the rear, there are orange direction indicators and a large, centrally located brake light. The rear axle protrudes slightly beyond the body.

At the front of the electric car is a compartment with the letters Z.E. under its cover there is a plug for connecting to the mains and a glass washer reservoir.

Dashboard

As you might guess, the interface of the machine is not rich, and the set of functions is minimal. Above the steering wheel is a small monochrome display with blue backlighting. Indicators are displayed on it: current speed, remaining power reserve, daily and total mileage, gearbox operation mode (neutral, reverse gear or direct), time.

When connected to a power outlet, the percentage of battery charge is also indicated.

Trunk

It is surprising that with such a small size, the designers were able to even provide for a trunk. Although its volume is small, but a minimum of everyday things can be placed in it.

It is also planned to be delivered to Russia, so soon everyone will be able to become the owner of a new generation of transport for the city

It must be admitted that the idea of ​​​​creating a car is a struggle for the environment, but the lack of doors does not allow this to be done, since exhaust gases from cars rushing past enter directly into the cabin. This electric car does not have power steering or normal brakes. A plastic door will not protect in a critical situation. In a word, “rushing” on it is shaky, cramped, hot and scary.

Yes, in the photo the car of a futuristic appearance looks interesting. But only! In fact, the power reserve is not enough for daily trips in a large city, and there is no comfort. As a transport for tourist trips around the city center - yes, it will be useful. This is a mood machine: seeing her, passers-by smile, constantly take pictures at traffic lights and in a moving stream. Children especially react to it.

Test Lab Manager Alexey Drozdov

Even the fact that side windows appeared in the latest models does not appeal. Stiff suspension and unpadded plastic seats are not at all suitable for long trips, as are the tight steering and poor brakes. Although the road keeps Twizy well. Quite cheerfully, he enters into turns. In Russian and Ukrainian realities, its use will be problematic. If it could be retrofitted with some options - strong doors, windows, softer suspension, this would lead to an increase in power, which is not at all desirable. So far, this is a vicious circle, which, perhaps, Renault engineers will be able to break.

Where to buy Renault Twizy in Moscow and at what price

In different countries, the cost of a car is different. For Great Britain, for example, it starts with £6690 . French car will cost 6990 euros, which is not at all small, and even considering that they expected that it would not exceed the cost of a scooter. In addition to the cost, you will have to pay 540 euros per year for the rental of the battery, which is not included in the kit. This is the cost of the Urban option - the basic configuration. For top models the price will rise up to 12 thousand dollars .

Buy in Russia

Now you can buy Renault Twizy in Moscow. To do this, on the website of the company "Ecomotors" at a price 950000 rub(at the time of publication of the article), you need to leave an application - a completed form indicating the configuration of the car. After the manager's call, enter prepayment of 80%. Two weeks are being processed in Europe, another three weeks will be needed for delivery to the capital, a week for customs clearance. After that, by paying the missing amount, you can redeem the long-awaited budget version of the car, you can drive without a driver's license. Renault with the maximum configuration will cost about RUB 1,450,000. well, in the minimum - a little more 300,000 thousand rubles (excluding all shipping and handling charges).

They have Renault Twizy, it will be priced at 1,500,000 rubles. Company office at 125195 MOSCOW, LENINGRAD SHOSSE 47A. Telephone

Buy in Ukraine

And you can buy Renault Twizy in Kyiv, both new and used. The latter can be viewed on the website. http://olx.ua/transport/legkovye-avtomobili/renault/twizy/ price in the area 255 744 UAH .. Here is another site http://www.autode.net/model/Renault/twizy, there prices are in euros and will lead from Europe. The model is popular, so you need to constantly monitor sales, there are cheaper options and you can always bargain.

By the way, doors for Twizy are an option, as is the side glass, made of dense polyethylene and fastened with a zipper. You can put an anti-theft system on a Renault electric car for an additional fee, even a siren. But, to be honest, this does not save from an attacker.

Issues related to the operation of Renault in Russia

If in Europe they have already stopped “turning” their necks when they see such a car, then in Russia it is still considered a star. In any traffic jam you are bombarded with questions: What is it, how much does it cost and where can I buy it?

In warm weather, Twizi can easily cope with the trips of the townspeople. And it has enough speed to move in the stream of traffic, and in terms of acceleration it will not yield to an average car. But, many are interested in the question of the suitability of using an electric car in our weather conditions, or rather, in winter?

Another important question: where to charge the car?

The household network will not “pull” such a load, and it is impossible to charge by throwing a cord from the window of a high-rise building. The only option is to sit at charging stations for 3.5 hours, but it is unforgivable to spend so much time on this. It remains a garage, with a socket and grounding.

Not very cheap. But given the cost of fuel, which will grow is not known to what extent, it is quite reasonable.

Conclusion

The experts did this: they will buy a curious car. But, those motorists who already have a full-fledged car, standing in a warm garage, where there is a powerful outlet

A short video review of the Renault Twizy Electric Car

- a small, two-seater electric car. In the world, this car took first place among sales of electric vehicles.Renault Tweezy electric carmanaged to sell as many as 15,000 pieces. Extremely low if you look at total car sales worldwide, and quite a lot if you look at sales of other electric vehicles.

In Russia, this car began to be sold in 2016. But so far everything is clear. Twizi failed in our country as an electric car, and even more so as a normal car. There are many reasons for this, but more on that later.

Renault Twizy design controversial, to put it mildly. A car with such a design is a bold decision, because for the majority it will not work. Even more. It won't fit almost anyone. It hurts interesting it has a design both inside and out.

Interior

If among the cars they made a table that indicates the level of elaboration salon , then Tweezy was on the same level with ZAZ 968, he is also “humpbacked”. Two pedals, as on cars with automatic transmission.

Steering wheel with the necessary switches. To the left of the steering wheel is an emergency light button and an automatic transmission operation switch. Automatic transmission is loudly said, but about the technical features further. On the right is a glove box that closes with a padlock. There is another one, but it is already without a lock. The handbrake is in the manner of the early 24th Volga - a "poker" to the left of the steering wheel.

There are no air ducts here, since there is not only an air conditioner, but also an ordinary stove (1: 0 in favor of the “humpbacked one”). There is only one door handle and it is located in the cabin.

There is no need to worry about how to open the doors, since there are simply no glasses, and the doors themselves do not lock (and why?). An alternative to air conditioning has been found. What can I say if the doors themselves are an option. In the basic configuration, the car goes without them.

Separately, it is worth noting the suspension and seat settings - driver and passenger.The suspension is set up well, you can't fault it. The car is stable at maximumvehicle speed at 80 km/h.

But this stability is achieved at the expense of convenience. You will feel every crack on the pavement. This is facilitated by plastic seats with polyurethane pads. You can drive in them for a maximum of 30 minutes without pain. Pay attention to how the passenger seat is made. Think there's not enough legroom in a sports coupe? No matter how! Against this monster, the coupe is a limousine. As planned by the designers, the rear passenger should wrap their legs around the driver.

There is a suspicion that an adult man simply will not get in there, and a woman in a skirt will not even try. What's left? Small child? Have pity.The pedal assembly deserves special praise. Peculiarity of this car is that it has no amplifiers, moreover, even a cable brake. And this means that you need to push hard, and the Twizy will slow down weakly.

The trunk, as the plant claims, is 200 liters. A lot, but where does such a volume come from? It is hard to say. Only one thing is clear. If you put your things in the back seat, then when braking, they will be under your feet. But here Tweezy's brake comes to the rescue. It is unlikely that you will be able to brake sharply.

Exterior

If there's anything even more controversial about this car than the interior, it's certainly the exterior. For most people, this design causes an undisguised grin, someone sneaks into laughter. Someone considers him a freak. There are those units to whom the appearance may seem cute and pretty. But one thing is for sure - it is very unusual and controversial.

External difference between optionsurban Renault Twizy in Urban configuration, Kargu and Trend did not notice any difference. Unless the trend has a larger list of available options and options wheels. There is no difference in the body.

Specifications

Technical characteristics of the car Renault Twizynot so disappointing. The 6.5 kW battery allows, according to the manufacturer, to drive 100 km in quiet mode, 50 km in more active mode, although much will still depend on the ambient temperature.

Engine power - 11 liters. with., which quite allows you to disperse the car to a speed of 80 km / h. Atdescription of some parameters and characteristics of the car Renault Twiziwe mentioned automatic transmission. So here she is not. To drive in reverse, the polarity of the voltage supply to the electric motor is simply reversed, which causes it to work in the opposite direction.

According to the manufacturer, it is suitable for the transport of goods. This is not true. There is simply no trunk as such, especially with a volume of 200 liters. On theRenault Twizy Cargo Cargoit won't work, it's not even worth trying.

Spare parts for Renault Twizyyou won't find. And there is nothing to break there, except for the battery. On the full charge it will take 5-6 hours from a 220 volt outlet.

Equipment and prices

And now the main thing is the price. All these shortcomings could be forgiven for a car if it had a completely affordable price. But on Renault Twizy price is from 799,000 rubles. And thisRenault Tweezy electric car pricein the cheapest configuration, in which there are not even doors.

Renault Twizy car price in Russiagreatly overpriced, which will simply kill all possible sales. Add here the fact thatyou do not buy, but rent for approximately 50 euros per month. And despite the fact that with the Russian climate, this car stands most of the time because of this, it is extremely impractical.

Renault in Russia generally made a mistake by releasing to the Russian marketRenault Twizy and Renault Kangoo Z.E.since the climate and the material condition of people will not allow the development of the idea of ​​electric cars, moreover, people are not mentally prepared for such cars.

To wash your conscience before mother nature, sleep peacefully and at the same time drive an average diesel car, it is enough to plant just one deciduous tree. The calculation is very simple. A two-liter modern diesel engine spits out about 2000 kg of spent harmful elements from the periodic table into the atmosphere. It is this trail that every motorist leaves behind in a year. At the same time, any deciduous tree in Moscow processes about two tons of harmful gases during the summer. Therefore, talk about the saving role of electric vehicles in the evolution of mankind is greatly exaggerated. But life goes on, and in Greek "life" sounds nothing more than zoe.

New Renault Zoe in Russia: rides longer, costs more

Since 2012, people have bought about 50,000 Renault Zoe electric cars and this is not the most popular electric car, although it is among the ten most bought. The main claim to it is the price and a small power reserve. Zoya costs around 33 thousand euros, depending on the configuration (excluding the state loyalty program, the size of which is different in different countries), and the distance between sockets that an electric car can cover is no more than 240 km according to technical specifications. In life, no one has yet managed to cross the 170-kilometer barrier, since ideal conditions exist only in the calculations of engineers. Nevertheless, in September 2016, a modernized and improved car was shown as part of the Paris auto show. The main subject of improvements was a battery with a capacity of 40, and according to some reports, 42 kW / h. This battery can provide a range in real conditions of at least 300 km, and according to the utopian NEDC cycle, even 400 km.

This, of course, is not all the changes that the electric car has received. Renault added two new body colors to the range, bright red and intense gray, the machine received as an option new wheels with a two-tone design with a diameter of 16 inches. Also, for a surcharge, you can order not only snow-white, but also pale blue interior. There is also a new edition1 package, which features a more expensive interior, full leather trim and a premium audio system from Bose. On the technical side, the car has also become better - it received not only a new battery from LG, but also an improved electric motor. It has become lighter and more productive. The operating modes of the air conditioner have become even more economical, and in the recovery modes, the battery has become even more actively recharged.

And in general, more than a dozen improvements were sent to save electricity, even the LED head optics received new LED elements that consume less electricity. The battery is still not for sale, but is leased by the company, but if you really want to save money, then you can take not a new 40-kilowatt battery, but an old one, at 22 kW / h. The new electric car has been on sale since October 1 in Europe and it costs 2.5 thousand euros more. Officials are not yet talking about the start of sales in Russia, but more recently, two of the most popular renoshny electric vehicles have become available to private owners - Tweezy and the electric Kangoo.

Renault Zoe 2016-2017 model year: specifications, photos

"X-ray" photograph of Renault Zoe gives an idea of ​​​​the device of an electric car

Zoe was conceived not as a futuristic concept or an expensive toy (like the same Tweezy), but as a full-fledged ground vehicle adapted to the real life of the average European. In 2008, the project was called X10, but it was not destined to become a pioneer. The first was the controversial but more popular Nissan Leaf. Only Nissan does not shine with design, and Renault Zoe is truly beautiful. More precisely, it is more in line with the public's ideas about an electric car. The car was drawn by the author of the Megan RS project and the Master van, Jean Semeriva, and the final touches to the appearance of the electric car were personally made by the chief designer of Renault Laurens van den Acker. The designers managed to distance the Renault Zoe from the Clio as much as possible, and in many respects they achieved this thanks to the introduction of “eco-philosophy”, a slightly cinematic idea of ​​​​what an electric car should be like inside and out. Although the front panel matrices, in principle, do not differ from the same Clio, there will be many details in the cabin that will remind you of it.

Oddly enough, Renault Zoe and Leaf have much less in common than you might think. Their layout is indeed very similar, but in an electric car with a huge battery it would be difficult to build the architecture of components and assemblies in a different way. It's good, it's bad, but Nissan is more productive than Zoe. The Renault battery consists of a dozen modules, each of which contains 16 cells, and Nissan had a larger battery before the update, and after the update about a year ago it began to show 30 kW / h. Nissan's synchronous electric motor has a return of 110 horses, while Renault has only 88 horsepower. Otherwise, it is easy to guess that Renault Zoe is built on the modernized Renault Clio platform. The differences are only in the suspension and they are due to the fact that the trolley has become 250 kg heavier due to the battery. Therefore, the front suspension on MacPherson struts had to be installed on a subframe from Megan, and the rear torsion beam had to be strengthened.

But with a 120-mm clearance, the center of gravity of the electric car has become lower by 30 millimeters, the track is wider, which means that the car has become more stable. Nevertheless, the electric motor assembly with inverter and charger weighs no less than a standard gasoline or diesel engine with automatic transmission. A fly in the ointment, it turns out, was made by the charger, which could be eliminated if the charging method for all electric cars was standardized.

Life between two sockets. Test drive Renault Zoe

Simple salon of minimal size

The electric car received a very simple interior, but at the same time quite spacious and ergonomic. The layout features and the location of the battery affected the convenience of landing the rear passengers - unlike the Clio, they will not be able to stretch their legs under the front seats, there is simply no room now. And the front row of seats has also changed. The seat profiles are not very comfortable, although the seat with integrated headrests is soft and adjustable this way and that. The steering wheel is exactly the same as on the Clio, but the displays, even according to the law of the genre in eco-cars, should be different. Colored, bright, with rich graphics, a bunch of special effects. There are two displays - one in front of the driver acts as a dashboard. The second is on the center console. The branded R-link multimedia system works quickly and pleasantly, the colors are saturated and delight the eye with spring green environmentally friendly tones.

Only even an advanced multimedia system will not be able to distract from the obviously cheap plastic from which the front panel is made in the Renault Zoe of inexpensive trim levels. An air ionizer in the cabin, a flavoring agent, and a proprietary navigation system were squeezed into the composition of the multimedia system.

One of the multimedia screenshots will also tell about the maniacal environmental friendliness - it will show the level of air pollution that people have to breathe outside the car. But the toxicity sensor is not installed here in vain - as soon as the air becomes unacceptably dirty, the ventilation ducts and air ducts are automatically blocked. Breathe clean air.

Rear row Renault Zoe

In addition, the air conditioner works together with the heater in a completely different way. It is called a heat pump, but in fact, it is an ordinary air conditioning system that is installed in every office, a standard split system. They say that it is much more efficient than a conventional heating element and, in addition, saves electricity. True, in terms of settings, it is more complicated and reacts much more sensitively to changes in the weather overboard. However, the main task of every electric gadget and system on board the Renault Zoe is to extend the driving time, increase the range, and save as much as possible. Here even the rubber is special, specially designed for the Renault Zoe by Michelin. The tires on the EnergyEV model should increase charge-to-charge mileage by as much as 6%. This was achieved due to softer sidewalls and lower rolling resistance, and the grip properties were not affected.

According to the owners, the energy consumption was about 15-16 kW / h per hundred kilometers in the urban cycle, which is 6-7 kW / h less than that of the Nissan Leaf. True, so far this is theoretical and not entirely clear to a motorist unprepared for electricity. For example, everyone understands how to refuel a gasoline or diesel car. But what about the electric car? There are several options here:

• the battery can be charged in about eight hours to 100% capacity, for this you can use either a regular household outlet or a special wall charger;
• accelerated charge mode - in this case, it is necessary to use the services of a special gas station, charging will take from 10 to 30 minutes until the battery is full capacity;
• the most extreme option, but also the fastest, is battery replacement, however, this is possible only in special service centers, which are not very numerous in Europe either.

Under the hood, little is pleasing to the eye of an ordinary motorist

Of course, there are certain inconveniences, even significant ones. For example, on a Renault Zoe you can’t drive further than 200 km from the outlet, otherwise you will have to get to electricity in tow, and the second important factor is the price. The fact is that at the dawn of electromobilism, manufacturers were talking with might and main that they were optimizing the cost of dysprosium (metal for the manufacture of electric motors), but in fact its price had increased by almost 18 times. This, of course, affects the price of an electric car. In addition, in Europe, each of the owners of electric cars pays a monthly rent of about 80 euros per battery, so that, taking into account the price of gasoline and diesel fuel, the operating cost of a car with an internal combustion engine and an electric car is almost identical. Considering the cost of electricity...

Video: Renault Zoe test drive

So the struggle for the survival of an electric car will continue until their maintenance costs become less than the usual cars with internal combustion engines, and as long as oil is still pouring from the wells, and not dripping, it is hardly possible to expect more loyal prices in the near future.
