Renault Zoe EV Hatchback Spotted In India

The all-electric Renault Zoe EV has been spotted in India without any camouflage. While this is not the first time that a test mule of the electric car has been spotted in India, its repeated sighting makes us wonder if Renault might be considering the electric vehicle for the Indian market. Maybe even the Kwid EV which was showcased at the 2020 Auto Expo, as K-ZE concept. The French carmaker also officially showcased the Renault Zoe at the Expo, earlier this year, however, we cannot take it as an indication that the car is coming to India. Especially, when you consider the fact that it's an electric hatchback that measures over 4 metres in length, which will only add to its premium pricing in India.
