Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The Renault Zoe is a B-segment electric hatchback with five seats, a 52.0 kWh battery and up to 395 km of range. Priced from RM165,000 in Malaysia, it suits drivers who want a compact EV rather than an SUV, but its price puts it well above several newer electric hatchback rivals.

Zoe in 2026 — what's new

For 2026, the Malaysian-market Zoe carries on unchanged, with no model-year update after the 2023 launch. The range remains the ZE50 R110 and ZE50 R135, both using a 52.0 kWh battery and single-ratio automatic drive. The later Renault 5 is positioned as a newer B-segment EV, but it is a different model, not a Zoe update.

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should pick the ZE50 R110 at RM165,000. It has the same 52.0 kWh battery, five-seat layout and single-ratio automatic as the ZE50 R135, and its 395 km range is the longer figure. The RM14,000 gap to the RM179,000 ZE50 R135 buys the stronger 133 hp motor instead of 108 hp, while range falls to 386 km. Pay more only if the extra power matters.

Verdict

The Zoe’s case rests on its 52.0 kWh battery, five-seat hatchback body and up to 395 km range. Price is the harder sell. It costs far more than the Proton eMas 5, Wuling Bingo, Neta V and GWM Ora Good Cat, and it overlaps the Nissan Leaf. Choose it for the Renault package and size; not because it is the cheapest way into an electric hatchback.
