The interior of the Renault Arkana blends modern technology with everyday practicality, offering a driver-focused, uncluttered, and comfortable cockpit. The center console houses a vertically positioned 9.3-inch touchscreen that controls Renault’s intuitive multimedia system; This is complemented by a digital driver display that allows for the personalization of navigation and driving data. Depending on the chosen trim level, interior finishes range from the comfortable fabric upholstery of the “Evolution” model to the sporty “Esprit Alpine” version.

The Arkana makes efficient use of its compact dimensions, though its distinctive design does entail some minor limitations. Front-seat passengers enjoy good visibility along with ample headroom and legroom; the rear seat can comfortably accommodate three passengers, although the coupé-style sloping roofline slightly restricts headroom for very tall adults. Well-thought-out storage solutions are provided, such as a spacious center console, wireless smartphone charging pads, and large door pockets. The cargo area stands out for its versatility: while trunk volume reaches 513 liters in standard mild-hybrid models, it is slightly lower at 485 liters in “E-Tech Full Hybrid” versions due to the under-floor battery. In both cases, cargo capacity can be increased by folding down the split-folding rear seats.

2027 Renault Arkana : Engine

The Renault Arkana engine lineup features highly efficient electrification technology, spearheaded by the flagship E-Tech Full Hybrid 145 powertrain. This advanced system combines a naturally aspirated 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with a 1.2 kWh lithium-ion battery and two electric motors. The system is managed by a new, Formula 1-inspired automatic transmission that seamlessly switches between all-electric, hybrid, and petrol-only driving modes without the need for a clutch. Delivering a total output of 143 to 145 horsepower, this self-charging system allows the Arkana to cover up to 80% of city driving on electric power alone, thereby reducing emissions while improving low-speed responsiveness.

2027 Arkana also offers a 1.3-litre turbocharged TCe mild-hybrid engine option. Developed in collaboration with Daimler, this efficient inline-four engine produces between 140 and 158 horsepower, depending on the regional configuration. The engine features a 12V mild-hybrid system that recovers kinetic energy during braking to assist the engine during acceleration and optimize the automatic stop-start system’s operation. Power from this turbocharged unit is transmitted exclusively to the front wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (EDC) that offers rapid gear changes, ensuring a sporty yet smooth driving experience ideally suited for highway travel.
