I am waiting for the new c4 review from You...my 15 year old c4 coupé in black still looks great in my eyes almost like a concept car🤣🤣🤣 The new one looks nice and just really want to know what is all the hype about the new suspension?? Cheers 👌🙂

As an ancient 73 year old retired man, I'm so delighted to say I've ordered the 1.6 RS hybrid auto transmission version of this car. It really is the most beautiful car I've ever seen. I drive mega miles each year, so economy on a fixed pension is so important to me ..

I like Renaults and now that Renault have withdrawn the Koleos in the UK, I had hope this would be a replacement but there is not enough legroom in the back so it's going to be a Tiguan.

I wonder how this car compares to other Coupe Style SUVs like Citroen C4 2021, Toyota CHR or Volkswagen ID4. Their SUV style is becoming more popular and sophisticated. Coupe Style SUVs look expensive.

Agreed. My sister was looking at this car in the e-tech version. I'm used to a more powerful car and I'm mostly driving an EV these days. However I was disappointed at how slowly a Renault engine with "formula one tech" accelerated. The rest of the car is great and the hybrid system works smoothly but this feels every bit as leisurely as over 10 seconds to 100km/h sounds. Just a bit more torque would be appreciated. Also, I'm the same height as Thomas and that boot catch is lethal. My sister is nearly 6ft and she thought it was dangerous. A power tailgate with a redesigned catch would be appreciated. So 2 annoying flaws on what is an otherwise super car. The styling and build seemed very good for the money. But she didn't buy it for those reasons.

MPG poor. I have the Kadjar 1.5 DCI as I do a lot of driving. Will hang on still for a while longer

I'm a fan of Renault but this thing looks dated compared to Peugeot 3008 for example. Then there's Kia Xceed which offers electric tailgate and this doesn't. Renault is kinda dropping the ball.

*From the outside visually, it reminds me a lot of Pierre Leclercq's original BMW X6 design... and that's now 20-years-old! By the way, like the Kadjar and Koleos, the Arkana does come with a powered tailgate as standard on the high spec models, and is offered as a cost option on (most of) the rest of the range. But as you say, compared to the exterior AND interior styling of the 3008, the Arkana looks almost jurassic!*
