Also as Esprit Alpine under 40 grand
Renault announces the prices for the recently updated Renault Arkana. That car is only available in the Netherlands with the full-hybrid powertrain with 143 hp and costs from just under €35,000. You can order immediately, the new Arkana will be at the dealers from November.
The Renault Arkana has only been on the market for three years in the Netherlands, but Renault thought the time was right for a facelift. Remarkably enough, the brand does not introduce the new family face of Renault on the Arkana, but chooses to subtly update the existing model. The new Renault Arkana will be in the showrooms from November, is available in three different trim levels and does not offer a choice of different powertrains: the only option is the full-hybrid powertrain that we already know from the Renault Clio, good for 143 hp and – in the case of the Arkana – a 0-to-100 of 10.8 seconds.
Renault Arkana Evolution
Renault Arkana Evolution
The entry-level version of the new Renault Arkana is called ‘Evolution’ and will cost you at least €34,460. You can recognize it by its 17-inch wheels, missing privacy glass and bumper work with some contrasting elements in it. The Evolution is already quite richly equipped as standard, but lacks things such as an adaptive cruise control and an automatically dimming interior mirror. There is an infotainment system with navigation function, the car has a reversing camera, climate control and a 7-inch digital instrument panel. Apple Carplay and Android Auto are also standard, as well as LED lighting all around.
Renault Arkana Techno, with different bumper work, more ‘chrome’ elements and 18-inch wheels.
Renault Arkana Techno
A step up is the Techno, for from €36,060. At Renault you get for an additional cost of € 1,600, among other things, a size larger wheels, sportier shaped bumper work, a different grille and chrome details on the side. The Techno is also more extensively decorated on the inside, with a larger digital instrument panel (10 inches), mood lighting and dark headliner, but also an automatically dimming interior mirror and more luxurious-looking dashboard and seat upholstery.
With the Esprit Alpine, the ‘free’ paint option is metallic red instead of the white of the other two.
Renault Arkana Esprit Alpine
The most expensive Renault Arkana is the Esprit Alpine, with a starting price of €39,060: €3,000 more than the Techno. For that extra money you get more dark elements on the outside of the car, even bigger wheels (19 inches) and extra technology. It has both adaptive cruise control and a driving assistant for semi-autonomous driving. The Esprit Alpine also pampers you with Alcantara seat covers, electric seat adjustment and seat and steering wheel heating.
