Renault Arkana for Sale - Stylish Coupe SUV

The Renault Arkana is available with the 1.3 TCe turbo petrol (140 hp) with EDC automatic and the 1.6 E-Tech full-hybrid (145 hp) with automatic transmission. The E-Tech hybrid is the recommended choice for Portuguese buyers, combining strong fuel economy with seamless hybrid driving. The Arkana is front-wheel drive only, which keeps weight and complexity to a minimum.

Used Renault Arkana prices in Portugal range from EUR 20,000 for 2021 1.3 TCe models to EUR 30,000 for well-equipped 2023 E-Tech hybrid R.S. Line versions. As a relatively new model (launched 2021 in Europe), used stock is growing as early leases expire. The Arkana offers a distinctive coupe-SUV design at prices well below the BMW X2 or Mercedes GLA that inspired its silhouette.

The Arkana is larger than the Captur (4.57 m vs 4.23 m), offering more rear legroom, a larger 513-litre boot, and a more premium driving experience. The Captur offers a plug-in hybrid option that the Arkana lacks, as well as the sliding rear bench feature. In Portugal, the Arkana positions itself as a step-up from the Captur for buyers wanting more space and presence without moving to a full-size SUV.

The Arkana E-Tech hybrid achieves approximately 4.5-5.5 L/100km in mixed driving, impressive for a vehicle of its size and 145 hp output. Urban driving benefits significantly from the hybrid system's electric-mode capability, often achieving under 5.0 L/100km. The 1.3 TCe petrol returns approximately 6.5-7.5 L/100km, which is adequate but highlights the hybrid's efficiency advantage.

The Arkana features a 9.3-inch portrait touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a digital instrument cluster, and Renault's Multi-Sense driving mode system. The R.S. Line trim adds sport seats, exclusive body styling, and 18-inch alloy wheels. Safety equipment includes adaptive cruise control, lane centering assist, blind spot monitoring, and automatic emergency braking across all trim levels.

Inspect the 1.3 TCe engine for any signs of the cylinder wear issue that affected early Renault-Mercedes units (largely resolved in 2020+ production). On E-Tech hybrid models, verify the hybrid system transitions smoothly between electric and petrol modes, and check for any warning messages on the dashboard. Test the infotainment system responsiveness and Bluetooth connectivity, and inspect the coupe roofline area for any wind noise issues at highway speeds.
