What is the range of the Renault City K-ZE?
2 Answers
Dongfeng Renault City K-ZE, this electric vehicle, has an official comprehensive range of 271 kilometers. It is equipped with a relatively small battery pack, only 26.8kWh. Here are some relevant details: 1. The Renault City K-ZE has a wheelbase of 2423mm, which is not too short, but the designers pursued an extremely compact body size of 3735mm x 1579mm x 1515mm, making it clear at a glance that this is a city commuter car. 2. In terms of storage space, the Renault City K-ZE offers a trunk volume of 300L. Despite the perfect performance in seating area space, it still provides such a large trunk space, which is somewhat unexpected. If the rear seats are folded down, the storage space can be further increased. 3. The interior features some detailed designs and combinations that meet the unique standards of joint-venture cars. To cater to the domestic market trend, it also comes with an 8-inch LCD display screen, which is quite impressive.
I just got my hands on the Renault City K-ZE electric vehicle, which has an official claimed range of 395 kilometers (WLTP standard). However, in actual use, I find it typically fluctuates between 330-350 kilometers, mainly depending on driving habits and environmental conditions. For example, when I drive in stop-and-go city commuting, I can get close to 360 kilometers because the energy recovery system helps save power. But when driving on the highway at speeds above 120 km/h or with rapid acceleration, the range can drop to around 300 kilometers. Weather is also a key factor; using air conditioning in summer or heating in winter can reduce the range by another 20-plus kilometers. My car has a 52kWh battery, and the battery health is still good. By maintaining smooth driving and proper tire pressure, I can slightly improve the range. Overall, as a daily commuter, charging once a week is sufficient, making it quite worry-free and reducing range anxiety.
