The all-new Renault Arkana has arrived at Village Motors North Lakes, merging the best of SUV lifestyle with coupé attitude. It’s the perfect vehicle to explore the Moreton Bay Region.
Renault Sales Manager David Day from Village Motors North Lakes says it is a versatile vehicle that appeals to anyone who enjoys “class-leading design, breathtaking performance and support from one of the world’s largest and longest-serving marques”.
“The incredibly smooth ride and power delivery for everyday driving is simply brilliant, but put the driver settings to sport mode and unlock the exhilarating performance of the turbocharged engine. Wow!” David says.
“There has been an amazing response to this new model. I struggle to remember a vehicle that has garnered as much excitement as the Arkana has. It’s fantastic to see that the public are falling in love with the Arkana as much as we are.”
The signature R.S. Line model has silverstone alloy wheel rims and gun metal grey exterior trims. A motorsport-inspired front blade and R.S. Line badging pays tribute to its motorsport lineage.
The interior is appointed with premium finishes throughout the cabin. With mixed leather and suede upholstery, electrically adjustable, heated, and ventilated front seats, a heated leather steering wheel, and opening sunroof, Arkana provides a luxurious experience on every drive.
The R.S. Line version adds sportiness with contrast red stitching and a gloss carbon-look dash trim.
Latest technology
Stay connected while you’re on the move with a 9.3-inch, driver-focused vertical touchscreen. The Easy Link system features Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto® as standard and, when paired with the Auditorium Sound system by Arkamys, provides a next-generation entertainment experience. Plus, with wireless smartphone charging on R.S. line, you’ll never have to worry about missing out on anything while you’re on the go.
The Arkana has a 485-litre boot with a split-level floor. The spacious interior and modular layout will make big adventures not only possible, but necessary. And there are plenty of clever and intuitive storage spaces throughout the cabin.
The Arkana has a customisable multi-sense system. Three driving modes and eight ambient lighting colours provide a dynamic drive to match your mood. Arkana will respond by adapting the powertrain response, engine sound, steering feel, and ambient lighting scene. With Eco, Sport, and MySense modes, you will always find the right drive for you.
Drive in confidence thanks to the Renault Easy Drive suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems as standard across the range. The Arkana has active emergency braking with cyclist and pedestrian detection, lane keep assist, traffic sign recognition, adaptive cruise control with stop and go function, blind spot warning, easy park-assist, and automatic high-low beam headlights, just to name a few.
David says it is the perfect vehicle to explore the Moreton Bay Region.
“The fuel range of the Arkana is phenomenal, with up to 700km, you’ll never worry about where the next fuel stop is, even for a full weekend exploring the entire region,” he says.
“We have an absolutely beautiful region to explore. Why wouldn’t you want to do that in an absolutely beautiful car?”
