The appearance of the European SUV has been slightly tweaked, and the “sporty” top version has also been renamed. The technique of the reform was not affected.
Russia has become the first market for the Renault Arkana cross-coupe – our production of the model started in 2019. A year later, the release of the five-door was also launched in Korea: first under the name Samsung XM3, then the Asian division was renamed Renault Korea Motors, although the coupe index was not changed there. Russian and Korean cars have different exterior and interior designs, but most importantly, they have different fillings.
Departed Russian Renault Arkana
If our SUV was made on a platform that inherited a lot from the simple B0, then the XM3 was transferred to a more modern CMF-B bogie. So then Renault decided to supply Korean-assembled crossovers to Europe, Australia, Japan and the countries of South America – already under the name Arkana familiar to Russians. Our SUV, after the start of well-known events, has sunk into oblivion, because Renault left the Russian Federation. Well, the “global” coupe-like cross survived the first restyling: while the European version is presented, refreshed options for other markets will be revealed later. ” />Renault Arkana for Europe, before and after (sport version)
So, Renault Arkana received a different grille: the shape is the same, but instead of horizontal stripes, it now flaunts a lot of small rhombuses. There is no more brilliant decor – the edging of the grille and glasses, plus those same rhombuses, depending on the design, can simply be black or covered with darkened chrome. The SUV also got a new emblem of the brand, expanded palette of body colors.

The top version “for sports” has also been renamed: to replace the R.S. Line came Esprit Alpine (it is she who is captured on all company photos). The features of such a cross-coupe are slightly more aggressive bumpers, 19-inch original wheels and a small black spoiler on the tailgate. jpg” />New Renault Arkana Esprit Alpine for Europe
The interior is the same, except that in the Arkana Esprit Alpine trim instead of carbon-look plastic, suede is now used. As before, the model is provided with a digital tidy, a multimedia system with a vertical tablet, wireless charging for a smartphone, a heated steering wheel and seats, all-round cameras, adaptive cruise control, auto-braking and marking tracking systems.

For Europeans, the Arkana is available with a 1.3 TCe petrol turbo four (140 or 158 hp), which has a hybrid add-on in the form of a 12-volt starter-generator and is combined with an EDC robotic gearbox with two clutches. At the top of the range is a hybrid with an E-Tech installation (without the possibility of charging from the mains), it includes a 1.6 petrol aspirator, an electric motor and a starter-generator, the total output is 143 hp. But the drive of the “world” cross-coupe is exclusively front-wheel drive, while the Russian SUV had an all-wheel drive version. >New Renault Arkana Esprit Alpine for Europe
