The new Renault Arkana would be produced in Brazil starting in 2027 and would include plug-in hybrid technology from Geely
Additionally, the new Renault Arkana would feature two battery options with LFP technology, with capacities of 18.4 and 29.8 kWh.
These options would allow for different configurations based on the vehicle's needs and usage.
The upcoming Renault Arkana would grow in dimensions compared to the current model. It would measure approximately 4.74 meters in length, compared to the current 4.57 meters.
Length: approximately 4.74 meters.
Width: 1.90 meters.
Height: 1.68 meters.
Wheelbase: 2.75 meters.
The current model has a wheelbase of 2.72 meters. For now, Renault has not shown the final design of the new generation.
The renderings released by Autos Segredos anticipate a vehicle with features linked to Renault's aesthetic evolution in its European products.
The new generation would represent a deep renewal compared to the current Renault Arkana, which is manufactured in South Korea and is also available in Argentina.
In the Argentine market, the current model is offered with a 1.3 turbo engine paired with a 12-volt mild hybrid system.
The new Renault Arkana would have Brazilian production starting in 2027 and would add technology from Geely.
The next generation of the SUV coupe would incorporate a plug-in hybrid system and would share a platform with the future Geely EX5 EM-i.
The second generation of the Renault Arkana would be manufactured in Brazil starting in late 2027.
Production would take place at the São José dos Pinhais plant, where the model would use the GEA platform developed by Geely.
This architecture will also be used by the Geely EX5 EM-i, which the Chinese automaker will produce in Brazilian territory, according to the alliance between both brands.
One of the main changes in the new Renault Arkana would be in its propulsion system. The SUV would incorporate Super Hybrid EM-i Flex technology.
The system would combine electric propulsion with a combustion engine designed to run on ethanol in Brazil.
The setup would consist of electric motors capable of delivering 215 hp and 262 Nm, along with a 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine.
In the Geely EX5 EM-i, this system reaches a combined 262 hp and 380 Nm. In the Arkana, those figures could be modified due to the adaptation for ethanol use.
The plug-in hybrid technology would offer three operating alternatives: electric, hybrid, and sport.
