The Renault ZOE has taken the ‘Best Electric Car’ honours in the 2020 What Car? Used Car Awards, while the Renault Captur and Renault Megane R.S. 280 have received commendations in their respective categories. The annual ceremony rewards the best used car buys across 18 categories, all of them judged by the consumer title’s panel of used car experts and highly experienced road testers.
The Renault ZOE scooped ‘Best Electric Car’ award overall, making it the third time the innovative electric hatchback has been recognised by the What Car? Judges, following its 2018 ‘Best Electric Car under £20,000’ victory in 2018 and its 2017 ‘Best Green Car’ success. Representing great value for money and featuring a What Car? Real Range of 146 miles, the innovative all-electric hatchback makes as much sense as a used buy as it does new.
Speaking about the ZOE’s victory, Mark Pearson, What Car? Used Cars Editor, said: “We’re delighted to give the Renault ZOE our Used Electric Car of the Year Award this year. It’s a car that’s always impressed us for its practicality and ease of use and, with plenty of used examples around starting from some temptingly low prices, it truly brings zero-emissions motoring within reach of the majority of buyers. Later models have ramped up the real-world range, too, making the Zoe an even better everyday proposition.”
For the second year in a row, the Renault Captur was a finalist in the ‘Best Small SUV’ category. With its sliding rear seats, practical interior, low running costs and strong refinement, the Captur comfortably represents a great choice for families and individuals looking for a great blend of style and value.
Completing Renault’s trio of achievements in the What Car? Used Car Awards is the Renault Megane R.S. 280 Cup, which was commended in the ‘Best Hot Hatch’ category. Featuring a powerful 280hp turbocharged 1.8-litre engine, sophisticated 4CONTROL four-wheel steering and stiffer and lowered Cup chassis upgrade with limited slip differential, the Megane R.S. 280 Cup is one of the latest additions to Renault’s rich history of hot hatchback models.
Adding to the appeal of a used Renault is the fact that all these models can be purchased through the Renault Approved Vehicles scheme. Run throughout Renault’s dealer network and online, this programme brings a number of significant customer benefits, including a 12-month warranty and breakdown assistance package, seven days driveaway insurance and a 30 day no quibble exchange guarantee.
We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
