The Renault Arkana is the latest member of the Renault series. It is a two-door coupe SUV. While it may not sell well due to its features, it does bring a sporty design and is appreciated by many anti-SUV enthusiasts.

Sporty Aesthetics

Its design is refreshing: the front components blend with the latest bumper designs, featuring numerous air intakes, providing a more dynamic appearance. The contours of the hood and sides are pronounced, the 18-inch wheels add a sense of solidity, and the gently sloping roofline gives it great vitality, complemented by the minimalist spoiler.

Proper Dimensions

In terms of size, it sits on a compact SUV platform, making it versatile: it measures 4,570 mm in length, 1,820 mm in width, 1,570 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,720 mm. Additionally, its ground clearance is 186 mm, providing more maneuverability on the track compared to sedans, even though it doesn’t reach the level of off-road vehicles.

Powerful Engines

Renault chose to install only medium and high-powered engines in the SUV: in this lineup, 140 HP engines have been developed, and two versions will be available – one being a conventional hybrid called E-Tech, and the other a mild hybrid with a 12-volt electrical system. Using the higher power option, it can generate 160 horsepower.

Practicality

The Arkana boasts practical features: the trunk volume is 513 liters. The technical content is reduced to 438 in the E-type, and the floor can be modified to maximize space or achieve a flat floor by folding the rear seats.
