Two months ago Renault presented the restyle it has given the Arkana, a model that can now be ordered in Spain with a restructuring of its range
It was in mid-July when Renault unveiled the restyle it has given the Arkana, an SUV that has got off to a very good start in the French brand’s line-up, partly thanks to the top-of-the-range version, which also gives it a sportier image. Taking advantage of this restyle, Renault has also introduced a restructuring of its trim levels towards greater simplification.
Let’s recall that the aesthetic changes to the new Renault Arkana are focused exclusively on the exterior and, moreover, are quite modest. They are concentrated especially at the front, adapting the Arkana’s grille and the Renault logo to the brand’s new design language, and depending on the trim chosen there will be mouldings in a different shade. At the rear the changes are even more superficial, focusing on giving a dark tone both to its badge and to its lights.
As I mentioned earlier, the Renault Arkana will be offered in three trim levels: Evolution, Techno and, at the top of the range, the Esprit Alpine. It’s worth noting that the entry-level Evolution trim will not be available for the time being, although the brand plans to offer it soon, with standard equipment that includes items such as:
- Renault Easy Link infotainment system
- Navigation system
- Connectivity via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto
- 7-inch digital instrument cluster
The second trim level is called Techno, which includes as standard items such as:
- 18-inch R.S. Line alloy wheels
- Specific front bumper
- Renault MultiSense
- Automatic high beam
- Tyre pressure monitoring
- Rear traffic alert
- Lane keeping assist
- Blind spot detection
- Rear-view camera
- Emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection
- Traffic sign recognition
- Front and rear parking sensors
- Rain sensor
- Electrically folding and adjustable external mirrors
- 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster
- Renault Easy Link infotainment system with 9.3-inch screen
- Inductive smartphone charger
- Tinted rear windows
- LED ambient lighting
- Electrochromic interior rear-view mirror
The last trim level, and therefore the top of the range, is called Esprit Alpine, which adds a little more equipment over the previous one and a sportier style with elements such as:
- 19-inch Esprit Alpine two-tone alloy wheels
- Frameless electrochromic interior rear-view mirror
- Heated front seats with lumbar adjustment
- Heated steering wheel
- Adaptive cruise control
- E-Shifter gear lever
- Esprit Alpine exterior and interior design
- Black contrast exterior mirrors
Mechanically, as we already previewed, the new Renault Arkana will offer two petrol options equipped with mild-hybrid technology (MHEV), available in 140 and 160 CV outputs, both with an automatic gearbox, and also the E-Tech hybrid powertrain with 145 CV and a multi-mode intelligent gearbox.
The new Renault Arkana is now available to order in the Spanish market, with a starting price that we indicate below. It already includes registration tax, transport and VAT; the various commercial discounts the brand may offer are not included:
