Renault Arkana (2021-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Very stylish and striking	E-Tech hybrid won't go far on electricity alone
Surprisingly roomy for people and luggage	Not as exciting to drive as a Cupra Formentor
Excellent 1.3 TCe engine	No 4x4 version

Quick Summary

The Renault Arkana (2021-present) is a striking coupe SUV that combines eye-catching style with practical family car credentials. Built on the same platform as the Renault Captur, it features an elongated wheelbase that benefits rear passengers with significantly more legroom. The 480-litre boot is 50 litres larger than a Nissan Qashqai, and despite the plunging roofline, rear headroom remains decent. Inside, the cabin is heavily stylised with a neatly proportioned steering wheel, classy gear selector, large central touchscreen, and rotary dials for climate control. The only downsides are the smallish rear windows and dinky rear screen, which can make the cabin feel somewhat dark.

The Arkana is available with two petrol engines: a mild-hybrid 1.3-litre TCe with a seven-speed twin-clutch automatic, and a full-hybrid E-Tech combining electric motors with a 1.6-litre petrol engine. The E-Tech achieves 58.9mpg, whilst the TCe manages 48.7mpg. The ride is smooth and well-balanced, with good noise isolation and nicely weighted steering and brakes. Multiple trim levels offer varying levels of equipment, from the entry Iconic with a 7.0-inch infotainment screen to the top R.S. Line featuring leather heated sports seats and hands-free automatic parking. Service intervals are every 12,000 miles, with a three-year Easy Life servicing plan available for around £500.

Best for: Buyers seeking a stylish, practical coupe SUV with excellent interior finish and surprising space, particularly those who value the proven 1.3 TCe engine and attractive running costs.

Not ideal for: Those wanting an exciting driving experience comparable to the Cupra Formentor, buyers requiring a 4x4 option, or those considering the E-Tech hybrid expecting significant electric-only range.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Arkana if: You want a stylish, practical coupe SUV with excellent interior finish and surprising space, particularly if you value the proven 1.3 TCe engine and attractive running costs.

Consider alternatives if: You're seeking an exciting driving experience comparable to the Cupra Formentor, require a 4x4 option, or expect significant electric-only range from the E-Tech hybrid.

Competitive Position: The Renault Arkana is a compelling choice in the affordable coupe SUV segment, offering striking styling and surprising practicality. Whilst it doesn't match the Cupra Formentor for driving excitement or the Toyota C-HR for user ratings, the Arkana delivers excellent value with its spacious interior, well-finished cabin, and proven 1.3 TCe engine. The E-Tech hybrid option provides better fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions for company car buyers, though the TCe remains the more straightforward choice. Its competitive pricing and good deal availability make it an attractive proposition for style-conscious family buyers.
