Hatchbacks, SUVs, hybrids, electric cars: Renault makes them all, in a variety of shapes and sizes, meaning&nbsp;it has a line-up designed to tempt pretty much everyone.

From the roadside, the standout feature of all its cars is design, with them instantly recognisable as members of the Renault family, without being so similar that they fall&nbsp;into the Russian doll trap. However, in terms of ability they're a mixed bag,&nbsp;ranging&nbsp;from very good to no better than average.

Models that fall into the former camp include the Clio small hatchback and Megane E-Tech electric car, while the smaller Zoe electric car is also impressive in most respects; it's just a pity Renault omits key safety kit.

On the other hand, the Captur, Arkana and Austral SUVs are all outclassed by several rivals.

Renault has some exciting new models planned, including a new Scenic (this time it will be an electric SUV instead of a conventionally powered MPV) and two cars that reimagine classic Renaults: the 4 and 5.

RENAULT

Renault has been given the go-ahead to call its new electric car the Zoe after a French judge dismissed the claims of two girls named Zoe Renault.The lawyer for the two unrelated children said they could endure a lifetime of teasing and annoyance if Renault went ahead and used Zoe.'Can you imagine what little Zoes would have to endure on the playground, and even worse, when they get a little bit older and someone comes up to them in a bar and says, "Can I see your airbags?" or "Can I shine your bumper?"' lawyer David Koubbi told Associated Press.

However the judge ruled that the parents would have a case only if they could prove that Renault naming the car Zoe would cause the children 'certain, direct and current harm'. Apparently, they couldn't.Renault unveiled the electric Zoe at the <a href="https://www.whatcar.com/renault/zoe/hatchback/review/n152">Paris motor show</a> last month. It's due to go on sale next summer.And finally Reports of girls called 320d BMW and Mazda 6 Estate considering lawsuits are said to be rather wide of the mark.
