All-new Renault Arkana arrives at Warragul Renault

-

The all-new Renault Arkana has arrived in Warragul.

Already a proven success in Europe with well over 20,000 orders taken since March this year, the all-new Arkana is a no compromise, new generation SUV coupé, and a distinctiv­e addition to the Renault range in Australia.

“All-new Arkana is the latest release from an exciting new product roll-out over the next five years from Renault,” said Glen Sealey, GM, Renault Australia.

“Arkana combines sleek styling and the

SUV way of life for a dynamic drive without compromisi­ng on comfort or space. On style, size, safety features – and a luxury fit and finish – we see Arkana competing more with premium players, like the Audi Q3 Sportback, as well as the more traditiona­l competitor­s.” EXTERIOR

The seductive design and streamline­d silhouette combine with a purposeful SUV stance to allow for greater road presence and enhanced practicali­ty.

At the front, the grille is bordered by distinctiv­e LED Pure Vision lighting and signature Cshaped LED daytime running lights, delivering an instantly recognisab­le profile. At the rear the sweeping tail-light design extends inwards to meet the Renault diamond, adding an extra touch of refinement.

Arkana arrives in Australia with three variants to choose from, Zen, Intens and R.S. Line, and a range of seven vibrant colours, including new additions to the colour palette Zanzibar Blue and an exclusive R.S. Line colour, Valencia Orange.

INTERIOR

Inside, the all-new Arkana doesn’t compromise sporty flair for comfort. As you’d expect from Renault, both driver and passengers are well catered for with premium leather and suede upholstery in the Intens and R.S. Line. The driver and front passenger in these versions also enjoy electrical­ly adjustable, heated and ventilated seats

The smart cockpit features Renault’s Easy Link multimedia system, accessed via a driver-focused

floating 9.3” portrait or 7” landscape central touchscree­n.

POWERTRAIN AND DRIVING

All-new Arkana arrives in Australia with the responsive 1.3-litre, turbocharg­ed 4-cylinder petrol engine also found in Captur, but remapped to deliver power and torque at 115kW at 5,500rpm and 262Nm at 2,250rpm to provide a thrilling drive.

A 7-speed efficient dual clutch (EDC) gearbox allows for a smooth, responsive drive, while the aerodynami­c design of the Arkana paired with the engine delivers impressive fuel consumptio­n: just 6.0 litres per 100km on the combined cycle, with 137g of CO2 emitted per km.

TECHNOLOGY

Arkana is loaded with driver assistance systems standard across the range including active emergency braking with cyclist and pedestrian detection, lane keep assist, traffic sign recognitio­n, adaptive cruise control with stop & go function, blind spot warning, easy park assist, and automatic high-low beam headlights.

The Easy Park Assist system comes as standard, allowing for hands-free parking, as well as parking sensors in the front, rear, and side of the vehicle. It’s no surprise it has received a 5-star ANCAP safety rating.

OWNERSHIP

The all-new Arkana is backed by Renault’s 5 Year Easy Life Ownership package. That’s 5 Years unlimited kilometre warranty, 5 capped price services with an impressive 30,000km service interval between each, and 5 years Roadside Assistance when you service with an official Renault dealer - locally Warragul Renault.

The all-new Arkana range starts with Zen at $33,990, followed by Intens at $37,490 and rounded out by the top-of-the-range R.S. Line at $40,990 – all before options and on road costs.
