New Renault ZE50 Driving with Lane Assist / B Mode / Headlights at Night

[@ApacheFlame]

I was having genuine range anxiety about motorway miles based on the website estimates (despite only rarely having to do a 180+mile journey). Pretty much gone after your feedback. Love your videos and they've convinced me to sign on the dotted line in the morning.

[@RZOCUK]

That's brilliant congrats, we look forward to seeing you with your new Zoe in the club and hopefully at some meets when we can have them again

[@nickieredshaw7835]

Thanks for another great video on the super new Zoe had ours just a week and love especially the b mode and auto handbrake would be nice to have adaptive cruise control for busy a roads and motorway trips but love it all the same first ev and best car we’ve had for years.

Hi there! Thank you for this real user review for users with a clear and useful speech. My ZOE R110 Intens Titanium grey should be delivered to me next Tuesday. My curent car is a 18yo Clio 1.5 Dci. I wanted an EV for so long. A 10 minutes try decided me. I can't wait ... Please, I'd like to see/hear how/when to use the auto-hold feature. Cheers!

[@charlesholland-keen2222]

This video persuaded us to buy a Zoe and following a test drive in a GT Line this morning. We are actually buying the test drive car and hope to have it by the end of this week.

[@RZOCUK]

Amazing congrats welcome to the club

[@jameschapman4824]

Very good Craig. Well done. My Flame Red Zoe is due to be delivered to my dealer next week. Can't wait.

[@seanredfern9691]

[@nickieredshaw7835]

Sean Redfern enjoy it , if your anything like us you will find excuses to it use it we done over 540 miles in a week

[@philipbroggio9315]

Thanks for the video Craig. #RZOCteamgrey . 😉

[@JanBartSpang]

#ClassicZoesMatter 😉 Great video and nice to see the LKA working. Those headlights look amazing!!

[@RZOCUK]

Thanks! 👍 Buddy... One positive these light will see the bears coming

[@JanBartSpang]

Unless they're behind you!!! 🙈

[@RZOCUK]

@@JanBartSpang I had a phone led light I was safe

[@miickyp]

Looks great Craig, can't wait to pop round for a gander. Ur the only bloke I know trying to demonstrate how good the lights are in the middle of the day lol!😂😂

[@RZOCUK]

😂 It just never seems to get dark anymore 😂

[@miickyp]

@@RZOCUK those pesky summers!😂😂

[@mrbruno1946]

Thank you for a great video

[@charlesholland-keen2222]

The thinking persons EV ? In red probably. Thanks for the demo drive.

[@RWBHere]

Ahh; the glories of English Summer, when it never becomes truly dark at night! Those lights are impressive, and the automation is second to none. You do realise that you'll have to change the logo in your intro, to incorporate the CCS charger plug, don't you? jk 😉 Thanks Craig.

[@MBStudioz]

Thank you for a great video. I’ve watched so many reviews and none of them mentioned anything about the led headlights and their brightness. I still wonder if the brake lights come on when you lift your foot off the accelerator?

[@RZOCUK]

Yes the brake lights do come on now with the new ZE50 when you lift off

[@MBStudioz]

Thank you so much for the swift reply.

[@LysanderLH]

Good observation and forward planning. Have you considered taking an Advanced Driving course. A few minor adjustments and you’d pass either IAM or RoSPA courses. I have an excellent insurance policy through the IAM/ Roadsmart Surety scheme (£250/yr full comp, legal, etc).

[@RZOCUK]

I use to drive HGV for a living years ago. Just got a little lazy as years gone by

[@TheBeggFamily]

My bladder won’t do 400 miles! But its only a short opportunity to charge and we’re back out. Breakfast or lunch is a different story. Sorry I’m in Team Blue (Zircon) and proud of it!

[@robsmith1a]

Thanks very useful, when I did a test drive I tried B mode at higher speed and wasn't very impressed but I obviously didn't understand how to use it. The headlights are a great upgrade. I can't justify upgrading my ZE40 just yet though.

[@nigelweir3852]

Most cars with more than 50 dc ccs have peak levels but not significantly more than 50 dc for levels of charge above 60% . Bigger battery from Zoe 50 ccs allows consistent high 40’s for up to 80%

[@djhvideo]

Not quite auto handbrake. It "auto holds" which locks brake fluid to keep hydraulic brakes applied. After a time delay the electric handbrake is applied. Electric handbrake (or parking brake) applies when switching off the car or when its manually operated with the parking lever.

[@wilkoone9155]

We have a Zoe 135GT & a VW ID3+ the thing I really, really, really, REALLY love about our Zoe is that the horrible & dangerous lane assist can be switched off by default. #laneassist on the ID3 it has to be disabled on every journey.

[@pvinny5815]

I noticed you have a dashcam fitted.. I'm expecting my first EV in 3 weeks time and was wondering how hard/easy it is too hard wire a dashcam. I'm thinking of getting a newer version of my existing cam but was told that Halfords are refusing to 'wire' in any cams to EV's, not sure if this is true but I'll investigate this coming weekend. Thanks for the great vids, keep it up!

[@RZOCUK]

Very easy just run wire in roof lining and down side rubber trim and feed cable under glove box to 12v socket

[@rustyjoints4857]

Sorry, I chose the Quartz White. Thought it looked stunning on the car at the dealers. Another month and we'll be getting ours! 😁

[@RZOCUK]

It's fine your in #RZOCTeamWhite

[@nickieredshaw7835]

Enjoy it , it’s truly stunning .

[@rustyjoints4857]

@@nickieredshaw7835 I'm sure we will (even if my wife doesn't even know what one looks like). Charger was fitted on monday so we're up running and waiting.

[@RainyDayMan01]

@@rustyjoints4857 Is it a difficult/long job?

[@marcusevjourney566]

Great video could have watched it all day, new Zoe seems amazing compared to the old one. WLTP of M3 SR+ is higher than ZE50.

[@mickcox5825]

I have a M3 SR+ and get the Zoe in 2 weeks so will be able to compare. My gut feel is that round town driving the Zoe will have slightly better range but at motorway speed the M3 better range, will find out I guess. I am averaging just over 4 miles per kw over 1250miles in M3 with mixed driving which shows a range of 236 when fully charged

[@bd1586]

Thanks for a nice video and info! I wonder if it can play video from phone or usb stick.

[@jeffjsmith]

Good video - thanks. Do the brake lights come on when B-mode kicks in?

[@RZOCUK]

Yes they do as it is slowing down fast

[@jeffjsmith]

@@RZOCUK Thanks - that is just what I wanted to hear!

[@bernardmills4575]

Craig, can I ask how you set the beep when you go over the speed limit? Like yourself I am a slow driver. Did you do something special to set this? Thanks in advance. Bernie

[@RZOCUK]

If i remember right its in the satnav menu settings. It was auto on when i got the car i believe

[@bernardmills4575]

Found it Craig. its in the Sat nav. Settings. Map tab. Traffic signs. Overspeed sound alert

[@RZOCUK]

@@bernardmills4575 awesome 👍

[@leeneal3415]

Good video Craig, my R135 GT line +CCS is due in next week! Might be a bit delayed due to Covid-19 though 😒 BTW, on your last Zoe you commented that when the battery cooling fan kicked in during charging it sometimes stopped the charge? Does this still happen with the R135?

[@RZOCUK]

This was an issue with the 43kW AC Q motor never had the issue with the R110 so shouldn't with the R135 also

[@linux1123]

I saw in another video that your Zoe has the cover for the radar in the front. Do you have the emergency braking assistent built in your car? When I ordered my Zoe it was listed as standard but it seems like Zoes werent actually built with that system until now and I dont even have the cover for the radar built into mine.

[@ukdronejourneys]

Does it have more sound ending than a r110? i had a 66plate 22kw now a 19plate r110 and next week pick up a 71plate (in flame red obviously)

[@elliottquinton2084]

What dash can do you have?

[@effin1233]

Was you in eco mode??

[@RZOCUK]

Not that i remember

[@petecoventry6858]

This is not as good as the LKA I had on my Niro - that was rock solid all the way - better than the ioniq system in fact. But this threw me out earlier into the other lane with thank god nothing coming! - We'd only done 2 miles from new and it already hates me :D

[@RZOCUK]

It's lane Keep Assist not auto pilot it does what it's meant to. 👍

[@RainyDayMan01]

1:48 Driving with your foot on the accelerator & letting off? I thought there were no emissions from this car!

[@muneer40]

No more video ???

[@RZOCUK]

Will have some soon just been busy

[@happymark100]

Have you tried parking assist ?

[@RZOCUK]

I don't have parking assist on this as I didn't opt for it.. I am very much a I can park person hahaha

[@nickieredshaw7835]

Heard that its poor at it job from someone on the group. We had it in 2012 and wife used to get out the car before it parked as it was so frightening and poor it used to park miles from curb and not finished straight etc I gave up using it after few week trying save your money by sounds like it not got any better.

[@TomLaceyJohnson]

Red is not for me. I’ve had many red cars and it’s not been good to me 😆
