Renault Arcana - to take or not? Owner opinions

The stylish urban crossover Renault Arcana attracts attention not only with its updated exterior in the current generation, but also with its recommended price of 1,329 million rubles. On the one hand, it’s not so little, but on the other hand, for that kind of money we get a car adapted to Russian roads car with good cross-country ability and steel crankcase protection “just in case”.

Do not blindly believe advertising headlines and descriptions painstakingly compiled by experienced Renault marketers. Their job is to get you to buy. Your task is to abstract and independently draw a conclusion. Who will help with this is the feedback from those who have already bought a car.

Where my last Citroen scratched his belly over the bumps, the Arcana flies with a bang and does not catch a single blade of grass. Four-wheel drive works adequately, rowing well even in dirty porridge. The suspension works only on graders, but bumps, waves, speed bumps pass without shaking. Well, of course, if the speed is not under 150 km / h, then miracles should not be expected.

For me, as a person with a height of 192 cm, it’s downright uncomfortable in Arkan, no matter how hard I try to sit down. The ceiling is low for both the driver and the rear row passengers, so before buying, do not be too lazy to “try on” the car for yourself.

I don’t quite understand why some people compare Arcana with business class in favor of the latter. Are you in a Renault or the latest Camry? Rides fine, roomy trunk, looks good, though a matter of taste. There is enough space in the cabin for five people, for sure. All the functions for basic comfort are there, but what else do you need?

– countered by the user Euroaziat

Clearly, there is not enough sixth gear on the mechanics - you can still drive up to 95 km / h in the “economical” mode, then the consumption grows specifically. I didn’t like the soundproofing either, in some places in the cabin there are no linings in the right places, most likely it will quickly be erased. There are also pluses, of course, from what I see, it's ground clearance, good optics, it handles well, a decent suspension.

– shares a controversial opinion Artem

Ran into the Arcana for a little over 8000 km, so far the flight is normal. Impressions are purely good, I don’t know who doesn’t like it in Shumkov and the box. Consumption is pleasing to the eye after my Grand Vitara, my back does not hurt, I can drive 200 km a day and generally without inconvenience. This is my sixth car, so there is something to compare.
