Extensively developed with knowledge and expertise from Renault’s experience in Formula One, Renault’s E-Tech hybrid powertrain technology comes with 150 patents protecting its innovation. Unlike the Clio, Captur and Megane, the All-New Arkana is the first Renault vehicle to be available exclusively with hybrid technology, designed as a hybrid from the start.
The E-Tech hybrid powertrain combines a 1.6-litre petrol engine with a 1.2 kWh lithium-ion battery and two electric motors, which combined, produces 145hp, 148Nm of torque from the 1.6-litre petrol engine and 250Nm of torque from the electric motors. This version of the Arkana will go from 0-62mph in 10.8 seconds.
ENGINE | POWER | TORQUE | MPG | CO2 EMISSIONS | 0-62mph | TOP SPEED |
E-Tech hybrid 145 Auto | 145 | Petrol: 148 Electric: 250 | 58.9 | 108 | 10.8 | 107 |
TCe 140 EDC | 140 | 260 | 48.7 | 131 | 9.8 | 127 |
Starting up in EV mode every time, the E-Tech powertrain is designed to drive the most efficient way possible which is particularly beneficial in urban areas. In EV mode, the All-New Arkana also boasts superior refinement and responses thanks to instant torque delivery from the electric motors.
The ‘dog clutch’ allows for seamless transitions between electric and petrol hybrid power while performing like a regular automatic transmission with fast responses and a smooth drive.
MULTI-SENSE driving modes allow for personalised driving experience which include My Sense, Eco & Sport each providing efficient fuel consumption tailored to your journey.
The electric power is supplied by a small traction battery which recharges itself with energy that’s recuperated under declaration and braking, the force of which can be intensified by engaging 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.
As a result of the E-Tech hybrid’s efficient design, running costs are low, with fuel economy of up to 58.9mpg and CO2 emissions as low as 108g/km.
Arkana models are also available in TCe 140 petrol engine that utilises clever mild-hybrid technology offer 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 49.6mpg and CO2 emissions of 130g/km.
The mild-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. This new powertrain also features Sailing Stop function, where the All-New Arkana can coast during deceleration to reduce emissions. The feature can be switched on and off via MULTI-SENSE menus and operates in My Sense or Eco modes.
The TCe 140 engine is available exclusively with a seven-speed dual-clutch EDC transmission delivering smooth and refined gearchanges.
The All-New Arkana has an impressive specification list where technology is at the fore. From infotainment and connectivity features to the very latest safety and driver assistance technologies.

For added reassurance and protection, there are three Isofix points – two in the rear and one on the front passenger seat – while an SOS button with Renault Emergency Call is activated automatically in the event of an accident. Further driver assistance systems available include Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Traffic Alert, ensuring the safest drive for Arkana drivers.
Make every day driving more convenient with Easy Park Assist that automatically completes parking manoeuvres -aiding drivers in parallel, oblique and bay parking spaces, while parking sensors all-round assist on all versions.
Inside the All-New Arkana, a fully digital experience comes as standard, with the latest EASY LINK touchscreen infotainment systems and customisable instruments.
A 7.0-inch touchscreen features as standard on Iconic models, while S Edition and R.S. Line models get a 9.3-inch portrait version, fully configurable with widgets to prioritise most-used functions, with a simple menu system that’s easy to navigate via the crisp and clear screen. Alternatively, all models come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, with a choice of areas to store a smartphone neatly on or below the centre console.
The EASY LINK systems are kept as up to date as possible via software updates over the air, ensuring the Arkana is always connected and always running on the most recent software available. All models with the EASY LINK system feature DAB radio with Bluetooth functionality, while the 9.3-inch version adds navigation with live traffic services and weather information, Google search functionality and 4G connectivity with automatic update services for three years.
To complete the digital experience inside, a 7.0-inch TFT display provides a clear overview right in front of the driver, with speed and driver assistance information displayed alongside clear physical dials for the fuel gauge and battery charge on E-Tech hybrid models.
Outside, all Arkana models feature the latest LED lighting technology, with Renault Pure Vision LED lights at the front providing a vivid and bright beam that makes driving at night easier and less tiring on the driver’s eyes, while a C-shape daytime signature ensures it’s visible and distinctive during the day.
