Due to the similarities under the metal between the Arkana and the more conventional styled Captur, the French brand’s coupe-SUV inherits its sister car’s five-star Euro NCAP rating. It also gets a good amount of safety kit as standard. Renault’s good performance in the 2021 Driver Power survey bodes well for the Arkana when it comes to the long-term ownership experience, too.
Renault Arkana E-TECH Hybrid reliability & problems
The Arkana hasn’t been on the road long enough for any long-term reliability data to emerge. In the 2021 Driver Power customer survey, Renault finished mid-table, coming 20th out of the 30 best car manufacturers ranked, while the Arkana’s sister car – the Captur – was 37th on the list of best new cars to own. Around 13% of Captur owners reported experiencing a fault with their cars.
Safety
All Arkanas come as standard with safety features like traffic-sign recognition, lane-departure warning and active emergency braking. Upgrading to the S Edition trim and above adds a rear-view camera plus front and rear parking sensors, as well as other safety kit including adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
