The Renault Zoe E-Tech Electric has been crowned ‘Best Used Electric Small Car’ at the What Car? Electric Car Awards 2022, the second consecutive year the pioneering small EV has claimed the award.
By successfully defending its title, the Renault Zoe E-Tech Electric reaffirms its position as the leading small electric vehicle on the market, regardless of whether drivers are buying new or used. This latest award joins an impressive array of accolades from experts across the industry and comes at a time when more people than ever are looking for the most affordable way to make the switch to an electric car.
The experts in the What Car? team praised the Renault Zoe E-Tech Electric for its style, ease of driving, and remarkable value for money, adding that the Zoe continues to offer a comprehensive package that remains hard to beat.
Mark Pearson, What Car? Used Car Editor said: “In an ever-growing and hugely competitive field, the Renault Zoe remains our favourite small electric car if you’re buying used, thanks to its all-round competence and remarkable affordability. Buy a Zoe of any age and you’ll find it practical and stylish as well as smooth and easy to drive. If you buy one of the later versions, it comes with a very respectable range, too. Its success means it’s also a plentiful car on the used market, and because of that you’ll always find a decent version to suit your budget. It’s that value for money, added to its overall usability, that means for us there’s still nothing in this class to touch a used Zoe.”
Guillaume Sicard, Country Head UK & Managing Director Renault Brand UK, added: “The Zoe E-Tech Electric continues to win awards all over Europe, and we’re delighted to accept this latest accolade. It demonstrates that the Zoe E-Tech Electric’s winning formula remains stronger than ever with savvy buyers in both the new and used car markets, where customers appreciate the Zoe’s blend of style, excellent range, value for money, quality and reliability. Buying a used vehicle can be quite daunting for some, especially if they are considering the switch to an electric vehicle, but this award gives used car customers the reassurance that the Zoe E-Tech Electric will provide them with a highly versatile, affordable and reliable EV ownership experience.”
