Economical like a hybrid, practical and tough like an SUV, sporty like a coupé. The Renault Arkana is Renault’s first SUV Coupé.
At the front a sturdy SUV, at the back an elegant coupe; that’s the new Renault Arkana E-Tech hybrid. It combines style with economy, thanks to the E-Tech hybrid technology and with the fifteen Easy Drive driver assistance systems, your journey will be even safer and relaxed. And note, this saves you up to 40 percent fuel. In the city you drive up to 80% electrically and the battery charges automatically during braking.
A petrol engine and two silent electric motors form the 140 hp strong heart of the new Renault Arkana E-Tech hybrid. A smart control unit always opts for the most efficient drive form, as a driver you don’t notice that at all. Except when you drive silently through the city. Or when you have to make a quick catch up outside built-up areas and give the three engines their full thrust.
Smooth lines
From which angle you look at the new Renault Arkana, it is a striking, stylish appearance. The roofline flows smoothly into the rear section, where a large tailgate provides access to the spacious luggage compartment. The rear light units are connected to each other via a wide light bar, which gives the Arkana a unique and individual look. The front carries the typical Renault signature, with clearly recognizable LED daytime running lamps.
Determine the character with Multi-SENSE
The interior is at least as stylish and high-quality as the exterior, with plenty of space for five adults. In the center of the dashboard is the Easy Link multimedia system with a 9.3” screen. This can be operated intuitively. For example, it gives access to Renault Multi-Sense, with which you can set things like engine sound, throttle response, steering and interior lighting to your own taste.
Safe and comfortable with the Easy Drive driver assistance systems
On the highway, the Renault Arkana E-Tech hybrid can take over a lot of driver tasks with the Highway and Traffic Jam Companion. This system keeps the car neatly centered on the lane, brakes for a slower moving vehicle in front, stops when a traffic jam arises and springs into action as soon as traffic starts moving again. But there is also plenty of assistance in the city, for example when you back out of a parking space, Rear Cross Traffic Alert checks whether traffic is approaching and warns you if necessary. And so there are many safety-enhancing functions that make life more pleasant and safer.
Extra sporty: the RS Line
If you want to emphasize the sporty character of the Renault Arkana E-Tech hybrid, then the RS Line is really something for you. On the outside, this version can be recognized by the 18-inch wheels, the exterior mirrors in ‘noir metal’, the chrome-plated decorative exhausts, air intakes in the front bumper and the RS Line badge on the sides. Inside, the cowhide and Alcantara-covered, heated and six-way electrically adjustable seats immediately catch the eye, as does the perforated nappa leather sports steering wheel.
In real life, the new Renault Arkana E-Tech hybrid is even more beautiful than in the photos, so make sure to stop by your local Renault dealer to see this tasteful SUV coupe live.
