2023 Renault Arkana 1.6 E-Tech FHEV Esprit Alpine 5-door Hybrid Estate

Description

I’ve had this Renault Arkana Estate for a few months now, and honestly, it’s become one of my go-to cars for daily drives and weekend trips. It’s a hybrid, so no need to plug it in — just drive it and it handles the power and efficiency like a dream. The 1.6 E-Tech engine gives you that smooth, quiet ride with instant torque, and it’s got a real Alpine vibe in the styling — sharp lines, bold details, and that cool, confident stance.

Inside, it’s all about comfort. Heated seats keep you warm on cold mornings, and the steering wheel heats up too — useful when you’re driving through the winter. The touchscreen is easy to use, and I’ve got Apple CarPlay and Android Auto set up, so I can just connect my phone and go. There’s also adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and blind spot warnings — all the bits that make driving less stressful.

I’ve been using it for a few weeks and it’s actually quite economical, getting up to 60.1 mpg. The cabin is quiet, the ride is smooth, and it doesn’t feel like it’s trying to impress — it just works. The alloy wheels look good, and there’s a decent amount of space for people and gear.

It’s been parked in Hebburn, South Tyneside, and I’ve only driven it about 8,000 miles — so it’s still in great shape. The price is £18,584.10, but I’m not selling it to impress — I’m just looking to part ways with it because I’ve found a more practical car for my needs.

If you’re interested, I’m happy to show it off or chat about it. No pressure, just a real car with real value.
