Doha, Qatar (September 4 , 2024) – Saleh Al Hamad Al Mana Co. – the exclusive agent of Renault in Qatar has recently launched the new Renault Arkana with its Coupe SUV style combining zip and roominess. Its upmarket versions – R.S. Line then E-Tech Engineered – offer extra character and vigour and have contributed a lot to its success.
Nassim Mourani, General Manager of the Automotive Group at Saleh Al Hamad Al Mana
Co., stated "Renault's new Arkana has elevated the coupe SUV segment globally, and now it’s set to thrill customers in Qatar. The prestigious R.S. Line and E-Tech Engineered versions, which captured 53% of European sales in 2023, infuse the model with unmatched character and dynamism. The new Arkana embodies Renault's renewed identity, boasting a fluid, commanding design accentuated by the striking Nouvel’R logo and a distinctive grille pattern. The sporty-chic Esprit Alpine trim further elevates its persona with exclusive exterior and interior features. The streamlined range, offering three trims—Evolution, Techno, and Esprit Alpine—ensures each model is equipped with premium amenities like the Renault EASY LINK infotainment system. Built on the CMF-B platform, the new Arkana delivers an exhilarating driving experience, seamlessly blending efficiency, handling, and comfort. We are thrilled to introduce this exceptional vehicle to Qatar, offering our customers a truly unique and exciting driving experience."
NEW LOOK
The New Arkana, which Renault is unveiling today, combines an original fluid feel, imposing demeanour and heavy-duty build with Renault’s new identity, to ride even higher on the “Nouvelle Vague”. The Nouvel’R logo is built into the grille, at the centre of the Deep Glossy Black band linking the headlights. This surface is entirely flush and smooth, making it even more elegant.
The Nouvel’R logo’s design provides the basis for the new pattern on the grille – a deliberately unstructured assortment of diamonds reverberating around the one in the middle. A 3D effect on the diamonds’ edges seems to carve them out and add depth. Depending on the trim (Evolution, Techno or Esprit Alpine), these features will be Black, Satin Chrome or Dark Chrome, to underline the shift upmarket. The vertical pattern on the upper grille makes the overall look more consistent with that on the grille at the base of the bumper.
The aerodynamic blade that became an R.S. Line and E-Tech Engineered version hallmark is now on the bumper of the line-up’s Techno and Esprit Alpine trims. It is the same colour as the body in the Techno version and Satin Grey in the Esprit Alpine version.
The logo at the centre of the tailgate is Dark Chrome, matching the one at the front as well as the lettering and tailpipes. The lights have ever-so-slightly smoked crystal-like covers to add a modern touch.
The chrome on the decorative features (grille, window rims, etc.) has been replaced by Black, Satin Black or Deep Glossy Black depending on the version.
NEW ESPRIT ALPINE TRIM
Like the other most recent models in Renault’s line-up, the New Arkana now includes a sporty-chic Esprit Alpine trim at the top of the range – which beautifully befits the vehicle’s personality.
One of the exterior features is the Satin Gry blade on the front bumper. Another is the Shale Grey badge nestled in Deep Glossy Black on the wing trim. It also comes with new 18-inch wheels that add to its stateliness as much as is sportiness. A new aileron cut to match the roof enhances the tailgate’s aerodynamics.
Inside, the seats are a mixture of Eco Tep (10% bio-sourced materials) and imitation suede. The seats now come with blue horizontal overstitching and the Alpine logo on the back, and the safety belts with two blue stripes.
The inside of the doors has red, white and blue stitching and the cladding on the dashboard area facing the front passenger seat is slate-like for an elegant, low-key effect.
A SIMPLER RANGE AND MORE AMENITIES
The New Arkana line-up is being introduced to three trims: Evolution, Techno and Esprit Alpine to give a good level of choice to customer.
From Techno, navigation is standard with the Renault EASY LINK infotainment system, which also connects wirelessly with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The digital screen on the dashboard still measures 7 inches diagonally but now displays information across a larger area.
This line-up is introducing a new body colour, Midnight Blue.
AN ENJOYABLE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
The New Arkana is built on the CMF-B modular platform developed by the Alliance. This platform has been praised for the efficiency and driving pleasure it affords, its outstanding versatility, its high-performance handling and its great comfort.
