Verdict
The RM14,000 step from the RM165,000 Renault Zoe ZE50 R110 to the RM179,000 Renault Zoe ZE50 R135 buys 25 hp, 20 Nm, blind-spot monitoring, front parking sensors and a reverse camera. That is meaningful kit for Malaysian urban driving, while automatic air-con, rear USB ports and navigation sweeten the cabin. But the R135’s quoted range is 386 km versus 395 km, and its annual road tax is RM70 rather than RM50. Pick the R135 for its useful safety and parking equipment; the R110 is the sharper value choice if range matters more.
Pick the Renault Zoe ZE50 R110 if you want the lower entry cost, 395 km quoted range and do not need blind-spot monitoring or a reverse camera.
Pick the Renault Zoe ZE50 R135 if you will use its 133 hp motor, blind-spot monitoring, front sensors and reverse camera regularly in town.
