Good to see that the ever reliable and always accurate traffic sign recognition still being buggy! My Kadjar would try and read the roadsigns unless it couldn't see it at which point it would take the speed limit from the Sat Nav files which more often than not were out of date because Renault's map updates seem to be some 18-24 months behind the actual maps of the roads. And yes occasionally it would misread signs so a 40 became a 60 and a 60 became an 80.

It does look good though so I guess it's a shame that the rest of the package could be summed up as a tad bland. Keep up the great work Nicola!

It's so wierd to see Mahindra doing the same headlight design in XUV700 when it's ex-partner has a car with those front lights. Second debate would be whether BMW X6 and Mercedes GLE Coupe copied it's roofline or Renault 😁😂

Well now young nicola let me first just say that you present really well and have good knowledge that yoy freely share in your vehicle appraisals so respect for that. But i feel as an arkana engineered owner youve hurt my cars feelings .its actually a very pleasant car to drive true its by no means fast but its good enough and it doesn't like it when you give it a good thrashing and she can be very vocal about such treatment as you said .thats the cars worst fault but the point of an EV is about being frugal and more sympathetic to our world and i think for the money it does this well and with all the saftey features it looks after its human too.driving is changing gone are the days when you could tare up the tarmac in your golf gti .so we all need to adapt and thats what im trying to do and i think we sould show the arkana some love as a capable family car preparing us for whatever eventually kills of the petrol cars sad though that is .just glad i didn't buy one of those kia sportage jobbies .lol

Nice review. It was very entertaining. Actually that was the only nice thing, the car is bad. Why should we allways be positive when something is just not worthy of that. Manufacturers should be banned from using the term "coupe" on things that have 4 doors and all SUVs. Then the engines, the performance, the interior for the price. I guess people will buy it, I'm not judging them. That is their choice and their hard urned money and they have the right to spend them however. For me this thing is a very expensive fashion accessorie that has the ability to transport people.

We are looking for Arkana last few weeks (for my mom and dad), we're tested 140hp e-tech version, and the finishing quality is better than Kadjar. Feeling is better than in Kadjar, and even power feeling is similar. Good choice for 29-30k € in Serbia 🇷🇸 for brand-new hybrid car.

Part of the transition from Renault the car mark and maker to a "brand" for some godforsaken multinational called Stellantis (WTF).
