The b-segment electric car will cost from £13,650 - after the £5,000 Government grant - and it'll have the longest range of any electric vehicle - up to 130 miles.
For £13,650, customers will be buying the Zoe Expression model which comes with voice controlled TomTom sat-nav, Bluetooth, climate control, cruise control and privacy glass.
Two other models badge Dynamique Intens and Dynamique Zen both cost £14,750. Intens has a dark interior park and a rear parking camera, while the Zen gets a light interior trim pack and an active scent diffuser.
All models come with "Range OptimiZEr" - a pack which has special Michelin tyres, a heat pump and regenerative braking - and a "Chameleon charger" which is compatible with all power levels up to 43kW. Charging takes between 30 minutes and nine hours.
When driving around town, the Zoe also features "Z.E. Voice" - an alarm which warns pedestrians that the car is there.
Like all other Renault electric cars, the Zoe's electric batteries are leased.
Contract plans start from £70 per month for 36 months and more, but up to 7,500 miles, and rise to £103 per month for 12 or 24 months and 12,000 miles.
Renault told AOL Cars they will be offering competitive finance deals on the Zoe - and these will be announced in March 2013.
They'll be competitive with other "eco" b-segment cars such as the Volkswagen Polo BlueMotion and the Ford Fiesta ECOnetic.
Zoe will be hitting showrooms from next Spring, but the car can be ordered now for a £49 deposit.
