Renault Arkana, 2019 - present
Today, the models in the SUV segment are the most dynamically growing part of the automotive industry, and buyers are looking at increasingly exciting solutions. So it is strange that only now the masses of car manufacturers have started to introduce coupe-style SUVs, which have been produced by prestigious brands for the second decade. Given the potential of this segment, Arkana is bound to be a success, even though its design is far from ideal and the interior is simply awesome. The Renault Arkana is built on the same platform as many other new Renault models. However, as many as 55% of the details in the Arkana model were created specifically for this model. The solid looks accentuated by high ground clearance, wide wheel arches and even 19-inch diameter rims, an all-wheel drive system, a panoramic sunroof and similar benefits give this car a spice of luxury. "In this model, we have conveyed the key features of the Renault brand - great looks, power and French sensibility," says Laurens Van den Acker, Senior Vice President, Corporate Design, Renault Group. It will be interesting to see how these benefits will be appreciated by a sloppy European buyer.
