In the premium segment, where we have to pay hundreds of thousands of zlotys for cars, SUVs with a coupe-style body break sales records. Nevertheless, Renault was the first to take a similar step in cheaper and more affordable models. Recently, the newest child of the French has entered the salons. A car you can’t help but turn behind. We are x-raying the Renault Arkana offer, the more so as now you can arrange a 24-hour stand-alone ride and test the innovative Renault hybrid technology.
Made to measure
The new Renault model fits perfectly into the current tastes of Europeans. Fashionable body is designed in a coupe style. The dynamically sloping roof line ends with a shuttlecock attached to the boot lid. The car can be equipped with 18-inch light alloy rims and full-LED, efficient headlights. The dimensions indicate that it belongs to the C segment. The Arkana is 457 cm long, 182 cm wide and 157.5 cm high. The wheelbase of 272 cm indicates a lot of space in the cabin.
Space
Arkana is one of the largest representatives of the compact genre. Thus, we can count on a lot of space in two rows. There will be plenty of centimeters for adults over their heads, in front of the knees and at shoulder height. The driver’s seat can be retrofitted with six-way electric adjustment. In winter, we will appreciate seat heating, and efficient air-conditioning in summer. When trying to travel further, a huge trunk comes with help. Holds from 513 to 1296 liters. It is easy to arrange and has a low loading threshold.
Modern gadgets
Renault focuses on high-end devices. The flagship multimedia set has a screen diagonal of 9.3 inches and boasts good resolution. It works with a set of cameras, navigation that analyzes traffic in real time, and allows you to transfer your favorite applications from smartphones based on Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to the display. Another convenience is the Easy Pilot system. It is a combination of traffic jam assistant, lane keeping and adaptive cruise control operating from 0 to 160 km / h.
Fully hybrid
The French are serious about electrification and have equipped each engine with an electric supercharger. The basis of the offer is 1.3 TCe with 140 or 160 HP. Both are fitted as standard with an automatic dual-clutch transmission and a soft-hybrid system. This has a positive effect on fuel consumption, which in the more powerful version is in the range of 5.8-5.9 l. The engine with a classic hybrid (143 HP) consumes less than one liter. Here, we have the support of two electric units and the ability to drive around the city up to 80 percent on electricity.
