The Renault Zoe was one of the first popular ‘modern’ electric cars when it appeared in 2012 and constant updates have kept it at the head of the pack. Smart, efficient, and well-built, the Zoe is one of the best electric cars available to lease and it competes capably with combustion-engined small vehicles for practicality and driving fun. See our latest Renault Zoe leasing deals here at Vanarama.
Smart looks with a high-quality interior.
One of the longest driving ranges going for affordable electric cars.
An efficient regenerative braking system.
With a Renault Zoe lease deal, you can drive away a brand-new car for a fixed amount of time, similar to ‘hiring’ the vehicle. At the end of the contract, which is usually around 2-5 years, you return the car to us and are free to choose another newer model to lease or look elsewhere.
You don’t need to worry about the car depreciating in value either, as you’re not the owner. The overall leasing process is made quick and easy too, taking all of the hassles out of choosing your next car.
The Renault Zoe is one of the best small electric cars to lease. Pretty looks and a well-made, high-quality interior are major plus points, and the Zoe is fun to drive as well as efficient. There is also a large boot and a big battery, resulting in an affordable electric vehicle which has more driving range on a single charge than most. For a full rundown of all of its features head to our in-depth Zoe review.
Choosing a Renault electric car lease is a wise choice if you’re looking to reduce your motoring costs. Electric cars are cheaper to run than petrol or diesel cars and they’re often less expensive to maintain, as fewer moving parts mean there’s less to go wrong.
Electric cars have zero emissions, so they have a reduced impact on the environment. This can also help you save money, as the reduced emissions mean you qualify for free road tax.
With your Renault electric car lease, you’ll make it easier to upgrade to the latest technology, which is ever-changing in EVs (electric vehicles). Contracts usually last between two and five years and once yours is up, you can simply return your car and start looking for your next model.

One of the more efficient electric cars on sale, the Zoe comes with a choice of two motors depending on the trim. The 110hp R110 motor is good for between 239 and 245 miles of range on official economy tests, while the more powerful 135hp R135 can cover around 239 miles. All Zoes come with the same 52kWh lithium-ion battery.
These distances will vary with driving style, as well as traffic and weather conditions. Interior electrical power consumers, such as the air conditioning, can also have an impact on range, but the Zoe combats this with very good regenerative braking and pre-conditioning systems. An Eco mode limits engine performance and the strength of the air conditioning to maximise the available driving range.
A similar size to the Renault Clio and other small cars, the Zoe has enough space for 4 adults in relative comfort, the 5th seat useful on the odd occasion. Both head- and legroom are good for a small car and children will have enough room in the back.
The boot space stands at 338 litres with the rear seats upright, which trumps electric versions of the Peugeot 208 and Vauxhall Corsa. Petrol and diesel Renault Clio models are roomier, but all-electric rivals such as the Honda E only offer half as much luggage space. Folding down the rear seats liberates an impressive 1225 litres of capacity.

The Zoe is only available as a five-door hatchback.
The Zoe is available in eight stylish colours with various interior choices for those who like to customise, check out our Zoe colour guide for details.
All versions of the Zoe are well-equipped. Even the entry-level Play model includes:
Trim levels available: Play, Iconic, GT Line
The Renault Zoe is Europe’s best-selling electric car and faces many rivals from not only the supermini class, but also from the city car market.
Electric versions of the Peugeot 208 and Vauxhall Corsa offer the same size battery and have smaller ranges than the Renault, while the similar-sized MINI Electric hatchback has a more premium image but cannot travel anything like as far as the Zoe.
The strikingly designed Honda E has a very similar driving range to the MINI, but is smaller than the Zoe, as is the Fiat 500 Electric. Those looking for something larger can lease a Volkswagen ID.3, it's lower-spec versions compete on price and it offers more practicality.
If you're looking for something in the Renault family exclusively you can see how the Zoe matches up against the Clio in our head to head article.
When you receive your Renault Zoe will depend on the model you choose. As you’ll see on our deals listings, some models are listed as in stock, while others are available on factory order.
If your chosen vehicle is shown as being in stock, this means it’s available and in the UK. We’ll deliver this to you within seven to ten days of you being approved for your lease.
If your vehicle is a factory order, you’ll have to wait a little longer for your vehicle to arrive, as it needs to be manufactured and potentially shipped to the UK, depending on its location.
No matter which you choose, all of our vehicles are delivered free of charge. If you have any specific questions about your vehicle delivery, don’t hesitate to speak to our customer service team.
Fitted with a 52kWh battery, the Renault Zoe is available with a choice of two motors and has a quoted all-electric range of more than 200 miles. The 110hp R110 motor is good for up to 239-245 miles of range, the more powerful 135hp R135 motor travelling distances of around 239 miles according to official economy tests.
There are many ways to charge the Zoe and all will take different amounts of time. Connected to a 7kW home wall box, the Zoe can be charged from 0-100% in 9 hours and 25 minutes. On a 22kW public charge point, this decreases to 3 hours. Connect to a 50kW rapid charger and a 0-80% battery refill takes 1 hour and 10 minutes. However, 50kW charging is only available on Iconic and GT Line models.
The Renault Zoe has 338 litres of luggage space with the rear seats in place. When folded, 1225 litres of room is on offer. That’s more than the MINI Electric, Peugeot e-208 and Vauxhall Corsa-e, but less than the petrol or diesel versions of the Renault Clio.
There are three trim levels offered to drivers looking to lease a Zoe. Entry-level Play models offer all the basics and come with the smaller R110 motor, while Iconic versions come with more tech and luxury. Top-of-the-range GT Line models are even more generously stocked with kit.
The Zoe’s flat boot floor makes loading things easy and the compartments underneath it store the charging cables tidily. As well as having a boot as large as those found on superminis fitted with a combustion engine, the Zoe has plenty of cabin storage with pockets in all four doors. There are also compartments up front, including useful areas in front of and underneath the gear selector.
Pretty and smart looks, a choice of motor options and a longer range than most electric small cars are all factors which have contributed to making the Renault Zoe a popular lease deal choice. It’s more practical than its rivals, as well, and a quality interior offers even more appeal. Well equipped with a decent drive and range, the Zoe is one of the best electric cars available.
