There is still a day left for the mega Paris Auto Show to get underway, though Renault's biggest show attractions seem to have leaked already. That includes the stunning new Renault Trezor concept official pictures of which has made it to Twitter.
That said, the French car maker had already teased a short video of the car earlier, which had depicted some of the cars interiors. However, that was through a red haze, which Auto Express speculated could be a hint of the car's autonomous driving capabilities.
However, the other way the launch of the Trezor is significant is that it can signal the beginning of a fresh new design language for the company to follow with its future model line-up. After all, Trezor's predecessor, the DeZir which was launched in 2010 had started a new design trend at Renault which can be summed up as "simple, warm and sensuous lines," claimed Motor1.
The Trezor sits low and wide with the rather prominent Renault diamond emblem dominating the front. The headlights though seem to have a touch of Porsche Mission E to them, though in the most subtle manner.
Meanwhile, in another startling revelation, Renault also accidentally blew the lid off some of the most sought after details of the new Zoe EV. Published in the company's Dutch site, the Zoe's battery capacity has been enhanced to 41 kWh, up from the rather modest 22 kWh.
Range has been boosted to 248 miles, which not only is 108 miles longer than the previous version but is also 93 miles more than the Nissan Leaf, claimed an Auto Express report.
In fact, the range as mentioned above also puts the Zoe in better light than the new Chevy Bolt as well even though the Bolt makes do with a bigger 60 kWh battery. Bolt has recently been found to have a range of around 250 miles.
A change of battery pack and powertrain aside, the Zoe however does not seem to have undergone any significant design change, if at all. More on this along with Renault's other future offerings are awaited once the Paris Auto Show gets underway.
