2022 RENAULT ARKANA S EDITION TCE MHEV AUTO

The coup SUV might sound like an unusual concept, but its a style of car thats been around for quite some time now. The Renault Arkana was one of the later additions to the coup SUV class, having launched in the UK in 2021. It arrived as one of the more affordable offerings, with the class typically dominated by larger, more luxurious cars, like the BMW X6 and Mercedes GLE Coup. The Arkana, Cupra Formentor and VW Taigo joined the ranks more recently to make the niche more mainstream. Total power is 143bhp, and because the electric motor works instantly at low speeds, it's fine for pottering around town. Once outside the city limits, where the Arkana's non-turbocharged petrol engine takes over. The Arkana handles pretty well. Its not as agile as a Formentor, but it has decent grip, not too much body lean and precise steering thats pleasingly weighted. Finding a comfy driving position in the Renault Arkana is easy, with lots of seat and steering wheel adjustment. The seats themselves are comfortable and have plenty of bolstering to keep you supported through corners. Behind the steering wheel sits an easy-to-read digital driver's display in one of two sizes. The entry-level Evolution trim includes a 7in one, while Techno and above increases that to 10in. The dashboard is easy to use, with physical controls for all the important functions, including the climate controls. By contrast, the Formentor has some annoying touch-sensitive controls that are fiddlier to operate and more distracting on the move. Interior quality feels like a step up from the C-HR (which has more hard plastics), especially in its rear-seat area. The Arkana has more soft-touch materials, the switches feel as well damped as they do in the C-HR, and it feels just as well screwed together. Overall, we think this is a great car, well built and would suit most families. Check it out at Nissan Glasgow. Book a test drive now or Reserve online for just 99
