Rather cheaply made, the Arkana though. Made for the russian market originally. If the choice is between Arkana and ID4/ID3, i wouldn’t even think twice of changing. The only cars that’d tempt me away would be the Ionic 5 and the Enyaq. Maybe, if the rules slightly relax, an EQA and/or the Q4 etron.
It is not an ID.4 of course, and given the choice I would take the VAG offerings but, if that choice meant a long long wait for VAG compared to immediate delivery on a Renault, it would be well worth considering – the local VW dealer believes that VAG prices may rise, and some models of cars not be available ?
It is not the Arkana featured at the 2019 Moscow Motor Show, which was based on an old platform and intended to appeal to different markets from the UK and Europe
The Arkana sold in the UK they say, is very different, built to a much higher standard in a factory in South Korea and is based on the Clio and Captur.
It is also a hybrid, not full electric, and they also say, it is actually an ideal vehicle for shorter trips, shopping commuting etc, where it will run silently and cheaply on the electric motor only .
