As an ancient 73 year old retired man, I'm so delighted to say I've ordered the 1.6 RS hybrid auto transmission version of this car. It really is the most beautiful car I've ever seen. I drive mega miles each year, so economy on a fixed pension is so important to me ..
ohhhhhhh finally Arkana rewiev in english!!! thank you very much for professional and deep presentation, told with nice, calm and understandable english. great job!!!! regards from Poland. cant wait Arkana down here :)
Every time you test the sound system and pump your fav trance music it takes me back to year mid 2000’s in the classic days of armin van buuren, tiesto, and paul van dyk haha
@@pietvelkens219 I mean the rear end is really bad and too simple, and the front looks like clio, in my opinion they pretty much failed with this car, I think I'd rather have Koleos than this, 2 times more practical :S
The volume control is what Peugeot used for years until quite recently, ex Peugeot designer moves to Renault and brings the design knowledge with them. Same as the digital dashboard.
I like your videos a lot! Watch everyone of them! But I have one suggestion. When you talk about engines and specs, could you put it in text at the same time? I have hard times with numbers. Especially when I can’t see them. Thanks man!
Great video. 💖 Hehe: 6:26 😂 Hehe, this car definitely was a secret to me. First time I am hearing about it, lol. Thanks, Autogefühl. 🤗😂 Since I did not know this car existed, I bought a Lamborghini Urus! 😂 I only just realized only the ones who have a great income could get an SUV Coupé brand new, lol. Hehe, nice of Renault to give the, so called, lesser folk a taste of this segment. 😂🤗
It doesn't share anything with the Infiniti, it's in a different/lower segment. In most markets it uses the same base and engines as the Captur ( CMF-B, FWD only ), in Russia and South America it's a Duster underneath ( FWD or AWD ).
@@kasti89 Sure 🙂 The " Russian " platform ( B0 ) is much older and cheaper to produce, but can be offered with AWD. The " Euro " platform ( CMF-B ) is much more modern and more expensive, but it allows for a lot more tech ( driving assistants, hybrid and PHEV engines, etc ). However, afaik, it's only available with FWD.
I have a renault kadjar and an arkana rs line, arkana is way far superior(smooth ride, silent engine and silent cabin on the highway). But i wouldn't sell any of it because of the fuel efficiency.
I wonder how this car compares to other Coupe Style SUVs like Citroen C4 2021, Toyota CHR or Volkswagen ID4. Their SUV style is becoming more popular and sophisticated. Coupe Style SUVs look expensive.
Strange segments are being made: Volvo S60 cross contry Honda accord Crosstour Citroën C4 Renault Arkana Diferent names, for their bodystyles, similar solutions
Regarding dimensions this should b e C segment car, but it is based on Captur/Clio platform. What's the feeling of space inside? Is it narrow like in Captur? Primary considering the width of the windscreen.
*It's all to do with emission laws changing in most (developed) countries around the world over the last 5-8 years. Particularly regarding pollution in and around city centres and urban areas. I could bore you with details if you're interested, but I won't force them on you here. It's a great question though.👍*
Can you comment about the ACC system? In 2018, their systems could only be activated at or above 50km/h, so no assistance in traffic jams. This was a deal-breaker for me. Is it any better now?
As the owner of XM3 1.3l turbo (Korean model name for Arkana), had 5 recalls and the factory battery is notorious for its low power. Yet, a great car, fun to drive and reaches 25km/l on 80km/h cruise down the highway
I was driving this car, motor revs to the moon but is still lacking a decend acceleration, it is a shame that such a beautiful agressive looking car has so small engine, and is not even the plugin hybrid
Agreed. My sister was looking at this car in the e-tech version. I'm used to a more powerful car and I'm mostly driving an EV these days. However I was disappointed at how slowly a Renault engine with "formula one tech" accelerated. The rest of the car is great and the hybrid system works smoothly but this feels every bit as leisurely as over 10 seconds to 100km/h sounds. Just a bit more torque would be appreciated. Also, I'm the same height as Thomas and that boot catch is lethal. My sister is nearly 6ft and she thought it was dangerous. A power tailgate with a redesigned catch would be appreciated. So 2 annoying flaws on what is an otherwise super car. The styling and build seemed very good for the money. But she didn't buy it for those reasons.
I like Renaults and now that Renault have withdrawn the Koleos in the UK, I had hope this would be a replacement but there is not enough legroom in the back so it's going to be a Tiguan.
Possible to mention width of the cars perhaps have a db meter for noisetest? As always great review! For me those fake exhausts are a dealbreaker..awful!
My Renault 5 from 1986 had it, so did parent;'s R21s from the 80s. I much prefer it to the on wheel controls. On a twisty B road, it becomes target practice.
@@MaximilianvonPinneberg i had the same in my first car, a 1996 Renault megane, interesting how they have kept it for all this time and not conformed to other manufacturers
I have been driving this car for a year(sold in Korea as XM3 by Renault Samsung Motors, released on March, 2020). Lightbar across the boot is LED yet the turn signal, breaklight and reverse light is a bulb type. Its built in Korea!
Thank you for the review, Thomas. European Arkana looks much more expensive and complicated than Russian version. On other hand, russian car costs €10k less. Btw, market placement of this car in Russia is not clear to me. And why Renault has even decided to bring this car to Europe is another big question...
Drove the 140bhp (mild hybrid) and must say I'm disappointed it's seriously underpowered and the backseat space is very underwhelming, think I'll spend my 35000€ elsewhere, thx for the video
I do not get it: create almost cool looking, aggresive designs but with Fake exhausts, tiny wheels (instead massive wheels) and 160 bhp instead offering special model with true v6/v12 motors for youmger that want different models… and I dont get - putting slooow infotainments system (like processor does all instead simple GPU do the fastest job?)… Wasting time and money… Who, normal would buy slightly chraper model with all thise misses in designs…? Whats the target? Not serious and rich. Not young that wants aggressive look with fast (big) bhp (no less than 350bhp) and improved launch pad (0 to 60mph at least for less than 4-5 seconds!)… not finny slow “below 10 sec”)… Fake exhsust are insanity… Wide and bigger tyres are a must…
Arkana looks ok, but it just isn't as beautiful or elegant as the rest of the Renault lineup. Peugeot has a stunning lineup as well. Especially 208 and 508, which in my opinion are the most beautiful cars in their segments.
I'm a fan of Renault but this thing looks dated compared to Peugeot 3008 for example. Then there's Kia Xceed which offers electric tailgate and this doesn't. Renault is kinda dropping the ball.
*From the outside visually, it reminds me a lot of Pierre Leclercq's original BMW X6 design... and that's now 20-years-old! By the way, like the Kadjar and Koleos, the Arkana does come with a powered tailgate as standard on the high spec models, and is offered as a cost option on (most of) the rest of the range. But as you say, compared to the exterior AND interior styling of the 3008, the Arkana looks almost jurassic!*
25cm longer...you don’t call this overstretched, its a different car, maybe the platform is the same but bare in mind this is how all manufactures building cars.
I just wonder if it's the sort of car you'll find going cheap on a used car site in five years' time and you'll ask, what was the point of those? Good review though
*I think it must depend on which country you live in. The Arkana is offered with a powered sunroof in Ireland and the UK for example. I believe a powered panoramic roof can't happen due to the sloping roofline though.*
@@TheBersky Thanks very much for replying. I find it curious that so many car manufacturers literally seem to waste money on different spec names, depending on which country a model is being sold in. In the Netherlands, you have Zen, Intense and RS Line. In the UK they have Iconic, S Edition and RS Line. In Russia the spec levels are named Life, Drive, and Style, and so on. Plus it's not even called a Renault Arkana in Korea. There it's badged as a Samsung, and referred to as the _"Samsung XM3"._ Australia and New Zealand meanwhile, ARE selling the Arkana, but *only* available with petrol engines, and it replaces the whole Clio, Megane and Kadjar line-ups?!!? All very strange! Anyway take care and best wishes.
That's rather poor intro and little bit derogatory for the car. Its like you start Polo review saying it is for somebody who doesn't have money for the Golf.
Well this name won't be too popular in Balkan countries. When you remove last A in the word Arkana, you are left with Arkan, and he was a war criminal 😆😆😆

As an ancient 73 year old retired man, I'm so delighted to say I've ordered the 1.6 RS hybrid auto transmission version of this car. It really is the most beautiful car I've ever seen. I drive mega miles each year, so economy on a fixed pension is so important to me ..
Enjoy!

The good old trance days 😎
Thomas's club lounge
Would love to see this in an RS Trophy spec... At least with a 220bhp engine and akropovic exhaust fully kitted out and I'm sold
Yeah, maybe SC Projects or Termignoni
I really like the Arkana, it’s a very sophisticated car, interesting too see what people think outside the UK as well
I have the etech full hybrid RS line in this colour - my favourite Renault of 9 I've owned since 1994. Erstaunlich, toll, geil und ausgezeichnet!
Give this car the megane RS engine and its a win win for Renault
Still ugly from the exterior.

It's a Renault..
Seems like a very good value car. Great review!👍
good review! I love the shape and value of this car.
Totally on the love the Arkana side :-) Thanks for the great review :-)
The volume control is what Peugeot used for years until quite recently, ex Peugeot designer moves to Renault and brings the design knowledge with them. Same as the digital dashboard.
Wtf, Renault is using this control since the 90's 😅
I think Renault had done a great job with this Arkana,.. price/quality will be the further succes of this trade mark
I guess so, I was completely blown away with this Arkana.
I like your videos a lot! Watch everyone of them! But I have one suggestion. When you talk about engines and specs, could you put it in text at the same time? I have hard times with numbers. Especially when I can’t see them. Thanks man!
thanks, keep tuning in =)
It's built on the CMF-B platform, the same platform as the latest Renault Clio, Capture, Dacia Sandero, Logan, etc.
What a lignage... Dacia
Nice car Great job, Thomas
😊
I really like it .. normally not into Renault but this one is very nice 👌
Truly informative review. 👍
Any plans to test the new Tucson?
Yes we will !
Great video. 💖 Hehe: 6:26 😂

Indian ,Waiting Renault arkana😍😍
Ich hoffe irgendwann das diese SUV Boom zuende geht.
They need BEV version to compete against eC4. 75kW with 800V charging for 40k€ and they would have a super seller on their hands.
What?! The eC4 is selling in much smaller numbers than the ICE versions.
The Arkana will probably have the E-Tech hybrid and plug-in hybrid. Probably not an electrified version though.
This baby X6 looks so good. Well done, Renault.
I've made up my mind, i like it, would consider in a mid/dark grey
I have a renault kadjar and an arkana rs line, arkana is way far superior(smooth ride, silent engine and silent cabin on the highway). But i wouldn't sell any of it because of the fuel efficiency.
Cool 😎 mobile. Loved ♥️ the review

Not a big fan of Renault nor SUV coupés. But the Arkana is not bad at all. In fact it is better looking than both Mercedes-Benz GLC/GLE and BMW X4/X6.
For looking, you're right ! But for engines... 🤔 The german propose so much engines possibilities !
"Have you ever thought about buying Lamborghini Urus? Try this Renault instead."
Wait, what? :)

Not bad but Toyota C-HR looks more coupe-ish imo. Also C-HR offers more power.

And the rear end too!
*Really? Are you sure you don't mean the original BMW X6 - the design of which is now almost 20 years old?*

there was a little ramp in that road kinda :)

Well this name won't be too popular in Balkan countries. When you remove last A in the word Arkana, you are left with Arkan, and he was a war criminal 😆😆😆
its called megane compact or something like that in Balkans, funny thing because of him >X

no awd :(
Weiß jemand warum der deutsche arkana keine abrisskante hat?

Problem of french cars, you can't make cheap cars and expect to fit into the high end models, it still feels like paper car.
Duster base, so it’s Romanian car.
@@YisName it's Brand new captur and clio CMF-B Platform, but in Russian you're right it's the cheaper Duster Platform.
Euro NCAP Crash test 2020, captur and Arkana with 5 stars are not paper cars. Renault and Volvo were the first carmarker with 5 stars cars before German premium cars or japanese that is the fact, don't write about you don't know.
The rear leg room was surprisingly small
Based on Megane? 😁
No, Captur and Clio for the base and interior.
