2025 Renault Arkana review
Pros
- Still looks sharp
- No price rises with more spec
- Impressive open road refinement
Cons
- DCT still clumsy off the line
- No hybrid option for Australia
- Back seat is a little cosy

The Renault Arkana is a coupe-styled small SUV that gives Renault a distinctive alternative to conventional high-riding family cars. It blends a sloping roofline with useful cabin space, efficient turbocharged performance and a European-flavoured driving feel. In Australia it appeals to buyers who want more design flair than a typical small SUV, while keeping running costs and dimensions manageable. The Arkana is not as spacious as boxier rivals, but it has a polished cabin presentation and a more premium look than its price point suggests. It suits commuters, couples and small families after something practical enough for daily use without looking like every other SUV in the car park.
