t interlinks two electric motors (a 36 kW main motor and an 18 kW High-Voltage Starter Generator) with a 4-cylinder 1.6 litre 69 kW (94 hp) petrol engine, a smart multi-mode clutch-less dog box and a 1.2 kWh battery.
The car invariably starts in electric mode and can run on the electric motor alone for up to 80% of the time in cities, which cuts consumption by up to 40% compared to a standard petrol engine.
The New Renault Arkana 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'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.
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 digital screen on the dashboard still measures 7 inches diagonally but now displays information across a larger area.
In addition to the car's reassuring road hold, the New Arkana's rear wheels adjust to keep it remarkably steady when you negotiate bends at high speeds
Evolution now includes navigation as standard in the Renault EASY LINK infotainment system, which also connects wirelessly with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
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.
Inside, the seats are a mixture of Eco Tep (10% bio-sourced materials) and imitation suede (more than in the former R.S. Line and E-Tech Engineered high-end models).
