Is the Renault Zoe Star Wars edition the electric car for Han Solo?

It sure looks like it. With Nissan doing such a bang-up job for Rogue One and The Last Jedi, now Renault (Ren-oh), a partner of Nissan, roll out their own tie-in for Solo: A Star Wars Story, the Renault Zoe Star Wars edition.

This tie-in isn’t so surprising since Renault’s partner, Nissan, has been in full Star Wars mode this fall after releasing a raft of The Last Jedi-themed show cars last month at the Los Angeles Auto Show, and having released a Nissan Rogue special edition for last year’s Rogue One. There are no throbbing strobe lights on this Renault, just some stickers that honor the Millennium Falcon, according to the company, as well as a purple motif on the dashboard. The car also comes with Wi-Fi, a backup camera, 17-inch wheels, and a Bose audio system, if that makes it feel any more special.

The Nissans were clearly made to be a more special than this electric Renault, but the difference is that you can actually buy one of these Zoe Star Wars models — if you act fast and live in France. All 1,000 examples are destined for that market and will be available to order in March, ahead of Solo’s premiere at the end of May.
