His name is Renault Arkana. Here is the "SUV" -coupé Renault, presented as a concept on Wednesday morning at the Moscow show. "SUV" -couped? It's the latest in fashionable bodywork, 2019 Renault Arkana Coupe supposed to combine the low elegance of a coupe and the high, massive side of a 4x4 ... You said paradoxical? BMW launched this bizarre marketing combination with the 2008 X6, followed by the smaller X4 in 2014. Mercedes, for its part, launched its GLE "SUV" - cut in 2015. Although Renault is the first generalist manufacturer to offer this kind of bodywork, the first is not there. The major innovation is that this car will be offered in the same external form, but on two different platforms depending on the market!
A first industrial. The Arkana will first be produced for Russia in Moscow on ... the platform "B Zero", which is basically the same as that of the low-cost Logan 2004. This model in fact fully take the underside of the 4x4 Duster, although it will be longer (4.54 meters long, 1.80 wide and 1.57 high). That's 20 centimeters more than the current Duster. It will serve as a "high-end" Duster! The marketing will arrive in the first half of the year in Russia. It should cost a little more than the Duster (from 11,990 to 20,850 euros in France).
