Verdict
At RM165,000 against RM179,000, the R110 is the sensible Zoe if range-per-ringgit matters: it keeps the same 52.0 kWh battery, 22 kW AC and 50 kW DC charging, and actually claims 395 km versus 386 km. The R135’s RM14,000 premium buys a stronger 133 hp/245 Nm motor over 108 hp/225 Nm, plus useful daily kit: blind spot info, front sensors with a reverse camera, navigation, folding mirrors and automatic air-conditioning. For KL parking and commuting, that equipment matters more than the small range loss.
Pick the Renault Zoe ZE50 R110 if you want the cheaper Zoe with the longer 395 km claimed range and can live without the extra parking and blind spot kit.
Pick the Renault Zoe ZE50 R135 if you want the stronger 133 hp motor and the added convenience of front sensors, reverse camera, navigation and automatic air-conditioning.
