Before the introduction of Renault Arkana, the sporty coupe SUV body style was mainly reserved for premium brands and was associated with a higher price tag. Renault Arkana lowered that price to almost a half, with starting prices being around €30 000, depending on the particular variant and market. Running costs are reasonably low, as well, according to owners.
Having had its release in 2019, Renault Arkana is still quite new (as of 2022), making it hard to determine what its reliability and durability would be like. Reviews, however, are generally positive, so far, also mentioning that in case the Arkana breaks, parts availability and repair cost should not be an issue.
Despite its sporty coupe look, Renault Arkana is quite family focused. The interior is roomy and comfortable, trunk capacity is good, fuel consumption is overall low, and it comes with a variety of safety features as standard. While its performance is not as impressive as that of other coupe SUVs from more premium brands, the Arkana does have the essentials a family might need.
While not yet on par with other coupe SUV counterparts from more premium brands, Renault Arkana's interior design and quality are overall good, especially for that price range. The inside of the cabin generally matches the luxury-like feel of the exterior design. Something that can be considered a drawback is that the interior is not as soft as one would expect, with some hard plastics used as materials. According to owners and specialists, however, what you get for the vehicle's price is more than satisfactory and is an upgrade from previous SUVs from the Renault brand.
The number of standard assisstance technologies that Renault Arkana is equipped with is quite impressive, allowing drivers to feel more comfortable and confident while behind the wheel. Drivers of all model trims are provided with front and rear parking sensors, a reversing camera, Traffic Sign Recognition, Forward Collision Warning, and Cruise Control. Keyless entry is another handy standard feature, that the Arkana gets.
