The eye catching All-New Arkana benefits from sleek exterior styling with its dynamic coupé design and striking details. The contemporary and practical cabin is home to the latest technology that includes seamless connectivity options and crisp displays with online services and multiple options to personalise the driving experience.
The range is available in Iconic, S Edition and R.S. Line trim levels with an extensive feature list of standard equipment including EASY LINK touchscreen display with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capability, diamond cut alloy wheels and full LED lighting technology.
In addition to this, the spacious and comfortable interior trimmed with high quality materials across all models, featuring sophisticated details including multiple ambient lighting choices and premium upholstery options.

A comprehensive choice of powertrains with an emphasis on superior efficiency balanced with impressive performance across both advanced, electrified options: the E-TECH hybrid and TCe petrol micro-hybrid.
With a distinctive exterior, Renault’ first SUV with coupé inspired styling, the All-New Arkana features a unique design in the Renault line-up without compromising on practicality and usability. It’s athletic and sloping profile with modern design touches and the most up-to-date lighting technology delivering a standout signature, the All-New Arkana provides a distinctive and sleek presence on the road.
At the front of the vehicle, all models feature 100 per cent Renault LED Pure Vision lighting with signature C-shape daytime running lights with automatic activation. Tinted windows, chrome trim on the wing badging, 3D rear LED lighting and 17-inch diamond-cut ‘Bahamas’ alloy wheels all feature on entry-level Iconic models, plus body-colour door handles with chrome and black lower door protection.
The S Edition comes with 18-inch alloy wheels that have a diamond-cut finish for a premium look. The extra tinted windows and slate grey satin front and rear skid plates further enhance the attractive SUV design.
The All-New Arkana is also available in dynamic R.S. Line specification and similar to other R.S. Line variants, the Arkana is set apart with unique front bumpers featuring full-width Formula One-inspired aerodynamic front blade and honeycomb grille, dark gun metal and rear skids plates, R.S. Line wing trim, gloss black door mirrors and window trim, and body coloured door handles with with lowered door protection finished in black and gun metal.
The exterior enhancements are perfectly complemented with doubled chromed tailpipes and 18-inch grey and black diamond-cut R.S. Line ‘Silverstone’ alloy wheels, complete with red highlights that enhance its dynamic proportions and assertive design, including Glacier White, Pearl White, Zanzibar Blue, Flame Red, Metallic Black, and Metallic Grey R.S. Line models are also available finished in the unique and vibrant Valencia Orange.
Despite the coupé-like profile, there has been no compromise in usability due to clever packaging, high quality materials and the latest technologies and equipment. Behind the sleek lines and sporty proportions lies a practical interior that, thanks to the SUV ride height, is also easy to access.
The dynamic proportions and sportier aesthetic disguise a cleverly packaged and spacious interior. The rear seats have been orientated to maximise leg and head room for rear occupants, while the 513-litre boot (480 litres on Arkana E-Tech Hybrid) ensure a generous load area with a variable-height boot floor featuring on petrol versions. For maximum interior space, the rear seats fold leaving a level flat load area for bulkier items.
On Arkana Iconic, the manually adjustable seats and finished in black fabric, while the steering is finished in synthetic leather. S Edition models features a unique trim stripe on the door panels and dashboard with seats clad in black fabric and synthetic leather and steering wheel and gear-lever finished in leather.
Like the exterior, the interior of the Arkana R.S. Line stands out from the crowd with unique R.S. Line marker. Completing the interior enhancements are aluminium pedals, a carbon-effect dashboard panel with full-width red trim, plus black head lining for a more dynamic finish.
Iconic models play host to the latest 7.0-inch EASY LINK touchscreen infotainment system, aa 9.3-inch portrait orientated system standard on S Edition and R.S. Line trim levels, neatly integrated into the sweeping dashboard design. This is completed by a row of soft keys running below the screen and high-quality heating control dials with a knurled finish and integrated digital displays.
The multi-sense driving modes can be controlled via the touchscreen or one of the soft keys, giving drivers the option to customise the interior lighting with eight options available as part of the mode selection. Running the width of the dashboard, the ambient lighting also is the length of the door cards, bathing the All-New Arkana’s premium interior in soft, distinctive lighting that the driver can personalise depending on their mood or driving mode selected, providing sophisticated interior signature.
As Renault’s first purpose-built hybrid model, the All-New Arkana is powered by the advanced E-Tech hybrid powertrain across every trim level. This a key model in pushing forward the broadened electrification of the Renault model range.
Stemming from Renault’s experience and expertise in Formula One, E-Tech powertrain technology is protected by 150 patents. The Arkana’s E-Tech Hybrid 145 powertrain combines a strong and efficient 1.6-litre petrol engine with 1.2 kWh lithium-ion battery and two electric motors. This delivers an economical, responsive and refined option with no compromise, making it the engine of choice in the line-up for the majority of customers. The combination of petrol and electric power delivers 145hp, plus 148Nm of torque from the petrol engine and 150Nm from the electric motors.
With little emissions such as 111g/km of C02 and returning up to 57.6mpg, the All-New Arkana E-Tech Hybrid prioritises driving on electric power alone from the moment the vehicle starts, which is made possible by an innovative engineering solution meaning the petrol engine isn’t required on start-up.
The intelligent ‘dog clutch’ as part of the transmission system means the All-New Arkana E-Tech hybrid can operation in all electric mode more of the time, however when operating with electric motors and engine in tandem, it smoothly transitions between gears as an automatic transmission should.
When the driver calls on the system for more power – either by depressing the accelerator pedal more aggressively, via the
MULTI-SENSE menus or through the dedicated button on the dashboard –
the petrol engine comes to life with minimal intrusion, delivering
enhanced responses in Hybrid mode.
Sport mode uses the full power and torque capabilities of the hybrid powertrain for the keenest responses, while a dedicated EV button gives drivers the option to maximise battery power. In this mode – named Pure – the All-New Arkana E-Tech hybrid’s advanced powertrain is capable of driving for up to 80 per cent of urban journeys solely with electric power. This battery-powered support also provides enhanced responses and refinement across all MULTI-SENSE modes, meaning he driver benefits from the advanced features of the E-Tech hybrid in all driving situations.
The electric power is supplied by a small traction battery which recharges itself with energy that’s recuperated under deceleration and braking, the force of which can be intensified by engaging a dedicated B-mode function that applies increased regenerative braking for even greater energy recuperation. This captured energy is fed back to and stored in the battery which is located beneath the Arkana’s rear seats.
Also available on all Arkana models is a TCe 140 petrol engine that utilises clever micro-hybrid technology. Offering 140hp and 260Nm of torque, this 1.3-litre engine propels the All-New Arkana from 0-62mph in 9.8 seconds, while also offering up to 48.7mpg and CO2 emissions of 131g/km.
The micro-hybrid technology works with a 12-volt starter generator that ensures faster and more refined operation of the Stop & Start function when coming to a standstill, while also reducing emissions at the same time. The TCe 140 engine is available exclusively with a seven-speed dual-clutch EDC transmission delivering smooth and refined gearchanges.
Technology is at the heart of the All-New Arkana’s extensive specification list, with all models boasting a generous amount of standard equipment with the most advanced systems.
Boasting a five-star Euro NCAP crash safety rating, All the Arkana models feature a comprehensive list of safety equipment. This includes the latest Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) for the safest, most reassuring driving experience. All models come with Active Emergency Braking System with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Traffic Sign Recognition, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist with active steering, safety distance warning, tyre pressure monitoring, cruise control with speed limiter and Renault Emergency Call with SOS button that automatically engages in the event of an accident.
A full suite of airbags is also standard fitment, along with Isofix child seat anchors on the outer rear seats and front passenger seat. In addition, S Edition models have Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Traffic Alert for added reassurance and assistance.
R.S. Line models also get Easy Park Assist, capable of automatically performing parking manoeuvres in parallel, oblique or bay parking spaces.
In terms of technology inside the car, the latest EASY LINK infotainment systems are available across the All-New Arkana range, controlling the core functions via a slick and responsive touchscreen with crisp display and the latest graphics. The system provides a choice of driver profiles and online services, with software updates for the system available over the air, minimising disruption to the customer who always benefits from the most up-to-date system.
Iconic models feature a 7.0-inch display with DAB radio and Bluetooth functionality, while S Edition and R.S. Line models feature a 9.3-inch portrait screen featuring navigation with live traffic services and weather information, Google address search and 4G connectivity and automatic update services for three years. Drivers can opt to use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, which are both standard on all Arkana models. Drivers can customise the display by moving specific widgets around the home screen, ensuring the most used or favourite functions are quickly accessible on the main display.
From launch, Arkana S Edition and R.S. Line models also feature a crisp 7.0-inch TFT Driver Information Display ahead of the driver, enabling customisation of the instrument cluster and an even more advanced feel.

Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed.
