The Renault Arkana adopts new finishes for almost unchanged equipment and prices. An E-Tech Engineered version appears to cap the offer.

Renault is revamping the range of all its models, one after the other, to make them adopt finishes with renewed names. In June 2022 it will be Arkana’s turn. Goodbye Zen, Intens and Business (reserved for professionals), hello Equilibre, Evolution and Techno. The RS Line version with a sporty look remains despite the replacement of the Renault Sport division by Alpine. In addition,

An unchanged starting price for the Renault Arkana coupé SUV
At the entry level, no change should be noted. Like the Zen model it replaces, the Arkana Equilibre offers automatic air conditioning, the Easy Link infotainment system with 7-inch touch screen, LED headlights, radar and reversing camera as standard, not to mention 17-inch alloy wheels. Its access price does not vary; it remains fixed at €31,300. The Evolution configuration takes up the level of equipment of the Arkana Business, including its navigation system, and adds WiFi connectivity for Apple CarPlay.

In Techno, the “coupé” SUV gains a 10-inch digital instrument panel and a wireless charger that the Intens model did not have, which increases its prices by €100. However, it loses its leather steering wheel for a “soft touch” model.

The RS Line finish of the Renault Arkana split in two
Nothing new on the RS Line side except that this variant is no longer offered for the E-Tech Hybrid 145 engine. To combine the latter with a more muscular body kit, you have to opt for the new E-Tech Engineered finish . This includes specific bumpers, 18-inch “Silverstone” rims, gloss black underbody protection plates, leather/suede upholstery as well as many golden details such as the blade of the front bumper, the side protection strips or topstitching. A pack offered as a free option allows you to replace the gold with dark gray. With equivalent motorization, this variation requires an additional cost of 600 € compared to the RS Line.
