The SUV that did not want to be is a hybrid for everyone with a 513-liter boot space and an ECO label

By Posted on

There is hybrid life beyond Toyota. More and more brands are introducing hybrids into their range, even reaching cases like the one we are dealing with today, that of an SUV that is available with two different hybrid solutions: the 140 CV gasoline micro-hybrid and the full hybrid. of 145 CV of power. And in both cases, of course, with an ECO label.

If we analyze last year’s registrations, the big rivals to beat, as far as hybrid SUVs are concerned, are the Toyota Yaris Cross and the Toyota C-HR. And the latter is the rival to beat for the product we are talking about in this article, being in a similar price range, but the Renault model wins the practical point, being more spacious and enjoying a larger trunk (513 liters for the microhybrid and 480 liters for the full hybrid).

The one that for us is an SUV that did not want to be is the Renault Arkanaa vehicle with a very peculiar style, between the SUV design with coupé features that began to prevail in the premium ones a few years ago, and the sedan with crossover features that today products such as the Peugeot 408 promulgate.

The Renault Arkana has an original design, is very practical and spacious and also has an ECO label on the entire range with two hybrid mechanical solutions, the micro-hybrid and the full hybrid.

Two hybrid solutions to choose from, both ECO label

  • He Renault Arkana micro-hybrid is priced at €26,949, on condition of financing the purchase, and €28,111 in cash. Under the hood is a 140 hp turbocharged gasoline engine and a dual-clutch automatic transmission, with a small support electric motor to complete its micro-hybrid technology.
  • He Renault Arkana full hybrid is priced at €27,864, on condition of financing the purchase, and a cash price of €29,954. In this case we find a complete hybrid system of 145 CV of combined power, without a clutch or synchronizers, but a more powerful electric motor than in the previous case that adjusts the speed to that of the thermal engine and the gears of the change.

The natural alternative to the Renault Arkana is the Toyota C-HR, a less spacious and practical car, but which also boasts an original and attractive design and full hybrid mechanics with an ECO label, as better purchase arguments. He Toyota C-HR is available for €28,650on condition of financing, and €29,550 in cash.
