●ARKANA may be launched along with Renault Duster as launch of Duster in India is also pending from a very long time and people in India are waiting a lot for Duster.
The coupe shaped cars are new in the automobile market people are not used to it. It is a mix of both sedan and SUV. In India there are very limited car with that coupe shape.
Soon in 2024-25 Tata Motors is also going to launch its first coupe shaped car named as TATA CURVV.
●The demand of the vehicle is increasing day by day, people are liking the product moreover because of its impressive looks. CURVV will come in petrol and may be in diesel variants but not in Hybrid.
So Renault ARKANA will be the only coupe shaped car in India which will be offering fully hybrid system.
●The benefit of Hybrid cars is that it runs on both battery and petrol .The battery also charge on its own you don’t need to charge it on the electric stations or at your home.That’s why Trend of Hybrid cars is increasing day by day.
●Overall ARKANA is a mix of all like Fuel Efficiency+ Feature loaded car+ Premium and a good looking spacious car. The power figures are also great as compared to other hybrid cars like Grand Vitara. ARKANA produces 145 bhp and Grand VITARA Hybrid produces around only 115bhp.
