Used Renault Arkana for sale

The Renault Arkana is packed with advanced safety technology. Expect to find ABS, lane keeping assist, traffic sign recognition and adaptive cruise control. It's these coupled with blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert that helped earn the Arkana a five-star rating from Euro NCAP.

Only one engine is in the Arkana line-up: the E-Tech Hybrid 145. It's a 1.6-litre petrol engine combined with electric assistance, delivering 143bhp and automatic gear shifting. There are no diesel or plug-in versions. Performance is relatively quiet at low speeds, with the hybrid system helping to keep fuel costs manageable.

Every Renault Arkana comes equipped with a touchscreen infotainment system (7 or 9.3 inches, depending on trim), Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, digital driver’s display and built-in sat-nav. Higher trims add wireless phone charging and upgraded styling touches, such as heated electric seats and a heated steering wheel.

The Arkana is pretty frugal for a family SUV. Expect real-world economy between 48-60mpg, especially around town, where the electric motor gets more use. CO2 emissions are low for its class, making it a solid choice for reducing day-to-day costs and keeping tax bills lighter.

Check for software updates to the infotainment system, and make sure all electrical components are working as expected. The Renault Arkana is still fairly new to the market, so general wear and tear should be minimal. As always, a comprehensive history and a professional assessment are smart – consider using The AA Vehicle Inspection service for added reassurance.

Early indications are positive, as the Arkana uses proven parts shared with the Renault Captur, known for good reliability. Owners report few faults, and Renault’s improved quality in recent years adds confidence. Like any new model, it’s wise to check for recalls and remember there's potential for remaining manufacturer warranty, giving extra peace of mind.
