This is the new Renault Arkana. It marks the French brand’s first foray into the coupe-SUV market – where it will undercut the likes of the Mercedes GLC Coupe and BMW X4. The Arkana will go on sale next July, with first deliveries expected to arrive in September 2021.

The Arkana is built on the same CMF-B platform as the current Clio and Captur – and it shares elements of both those cars’ design. The front end features the same c-shaped daytime running lights and radiator grille as the Clio, while the SUV’s glasshouse and ride height bear resemblance to the Captur.

Renault’s biggest styling change for the Arkana is its coupe-like rear end, which is unlike anything else currently in its segment. When it reaches the UK, the Arkana will sit in relative isolation, as the only other mainstream manufacturers with plans to introduce a coupe-SUV are Skoda and Kia – and both those cars will be pure-electric only.

The Arkana’s larger rear end has given it a boot capacity of 513 litres – which is 122 litres more than the Clio. Renault has also added a couple of practicality tweaks, such as flat-folding rear bench seat, a 360-degree parking camera and large front door pockets which can accommodate 1.5-litre water bottles.

The Arkana’s interior will also feature Renault’s latest infotainment technology. Buyers can pair either a 4.2-inch, seven-inch or 10-inch digital instrument cluster with either a seven-inch or 9.3-inch portrait infotainment system. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported, as are over-the-air updates and live traffic updates.

Buyers will be offered adaptive cruise control, an active emergency braking system, lane keeping assist, a traffic sign recognition system and Renault’s Motorway and Traffic Jam Companion – an autonomous driving mode which can assume control of the car’s throttle, brakes and steering on the motorway.

Trim-levels and specs
We’re yet to receive a full run-down of the Arkana range, but Renault has confirmed that buyers will be offered its sporty R.S. Line trim-level. Upgrades for this flagship model will include a new front splitter, red coachlines, black alloy wheels and a more aggressive rear bumper that houses a pair of chrome exhaust outlets.

Inside, the Arkana R.S. Line will feature contrasting red stitching on the seats and steering wheel, a black headlining and an aluminium pedal box. Unique red-striped seat belts will also feature, along with carbon-effect coverings for the dashboard and door cards.

Finally, buyers can pick from a few cosmetic extras, such as a contrasting black roof, three alloy wheel designs in either 17-inch or 18-inch diameters and seven body colours – including an R.S. Line-exclusive Valencia Orange paint finish.

Engines and drivetrains
Buyers will have their choice of two powertrains. The entry-level model features the same turbocharged 1.3-litre four-cylinder mild-hybrid petrol engine as the latest Clio. It’ll have an output of 138bhp and 260Nm of torque – and will send drive to the front wheels via a dual-clutch gearbox.

The flagship Arkana will feature a full hybrid powertrain, comprising a 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, two electric motors and a lithium-ion battery, for a maximum output of 158bhp. It’ll send drive through an innovative F1-derived clutchless dogbox transmission, which Renault says is more efficient and smoother than a conventional automatic.

Prices for Renault Arkana start at €29 700

Yo tuve un RENAULT SIMBOL, excelente vehículo.

Elle est plutôt plus jolie que la x6 mais nettement moins chère ! J espère qu elle se vendra bien!

[singuilafans-urbanhit]

Mr Laurent Cherrier je vous garanti que ce Renault Arkana sauvera Renault et aura un très gros succès car elle offre le style d'un coupé Suv x6, x4 avec des tarifs attrayant et des technologies raisonnable donc clairement elle arrachera des client au segment des suv coupe de luxe x6, x 4 Mercedes GLe coupe glc coupe

I like Renault, my first car was a Clio RS 197HP... but what happened to the 200hp engines, a car like this needs more than 145hp.

Folia tec on front and rear in black metallic, privacy glass windows with folia, some distance plates and for example oxigin concave wheels in 19' black polished or straight black.
I heard they have a chiptuning file for the 1.3 engine 158ps to about 200.
Whoomp there it is 😁

Perhaps if there was such a complete set in Russia, or at least the interior inside is not worse, then it would have sold better.

[gilmarcaldeira]

Esse Renault arkana adorei daril quero um carro desse de presente mas eu não vou pagar nada fora imposto fiscal a cor quero é prata Black e escuro faturamento dela hoje ainda agora

[zakiamer]

Un patchwork de modèles comme la symbole, la logane, la clio4, ...aucune inovation ésthetique, un foutage de gueule surtout si on la compare aux autres marques qui marquent elles une différence par rapport à leur anciens modéles mais il ne faut pas être inquiet pour renault, la france l'imposera de force ou de gret à ses anciennes colonnies africaines comme elle a fait pour la symbole ou la logane ou la clio4, ...des poubèles à 4 roues et elle annoncera que c'est un véritable best-seller.

This type of car is a complete non sense to me. Same thing with bmw x6, etc. If you want a coupe, why to have more ground clearance and higher center of gravity. If you want an SUV, why do have less space? If you want both, this is what you get but ia ridiculous. Prepare to roll over of someone t-bones you or you hit a curbe a bit too hard.
