Zoé – city style<br />
A dynamic lineup<br />

Zoé, the concept car presented at the Geneva Motor<br />
Show in March <strong>2005</strong>, is a top-end compact suited<br />
to city driving, a vehicle type that is a main theme<br />
for reflection at <strong>Renault</strong>, alongside its commitment<br />
to sustainable mobility. As Patrick le Quément explains,<br />
"Research shows that cars carry 1.4 people on average,<br />
but two-seat interiors are perceived as cramped. Zoé<br />
therefore has three full-size seats plus a roomy trunk<br />
behind the driver's seat, all built into a compact<br />
architecture."<br />
Zoé offers a surprisingly roomy interior for a car its size,<br />
and seating can be rearranged in several ways as needed.<br />
Another innovation is the scope for personalization<br />
of the interior offered by the Pass system, based<br />
on a control-pad that programs preferred settings. Glass<br />
roof panels with inlaid LEDs provide a steady source<br />
of light, and create a starry canopy for night driving.<br />
Under the hood, Zoé is equipped with a new turbocharged<br />
<strong>Renault</strong> 1.2-liter gasoline engine that ensures a high power<br />
output for lively response and low fuel consumption.<br />
This keeps CO2 emissions below 140g/km – a good<br />
performance for a gasoline engine.<br />
A bright interior features a glazed<br />
roof with two transparent strips<br />
featuring LEDs to create a starry<br />
canopy for night driving.<br />
