Renault Arkana – Everything You Need To Know!

The Renault Arkana might launch in India very soon, and we’re super excited! The Coupé style design on the Arkana will surely spice up the current boxy looking SUV market. Here’s what you need to know about the upcoming Renault Arkana!

  1. Design

Well, unlike EVERY other car in this segment, the Arkana is a coupe-SUV. It features a sloping roofline, and it features a rather sporty look. It sits on the same platform that houses the Renault Captur. The Arkana is on sale in foreign markets, and it has been spotted testing on Indian roads in the last few weeks.

Under the hood, the Arkana gets 2 petrol engine options. The smaller, 1.3L turbo-petrol engine gets a mild-hybrid system. It churns out about 138HP. The bigger, 1.6L Petrol engine is assisted by 2 fully functional electric motors. Renault says that these motors can cover up to 80% of city driving requirements, saving a lot of harm to the environment, and also a lot of fuel!
