Welcome to the world of Renault Arkana, where practicality and style converge, and boot space is a much-discussed topic of conversation. The Renault Arkana boasts an impressive 513 litres of boot space, allowing you to store your most prized possessions, your weekly shopping, and even your mother-in-law (although we wouldn't recommend the latter). But how does the Arkana's boot space stack up against other Renault models and the competition, and how has it changed over the generations? Let's find out.
As for the change in trunk space over the generations, since the Renault Arkana is still in its first generation (2021-present), there are no previous versions to compare it to. Nonetheless, it's fascinating to see how this newcomer to the Renault line-up measures up against its siblings and rivals.
Within the Renault lineup, the Arkana sits comfortably in the middle of the pack when it comes to boot space. It outshines many of its siblings, including the Twingo (219 l), Clio (340 l), and even the slightly larger Megane (473 l). However, it falls short when compared to models such as the Kangoo (519 l), Megane Grandtour (563 l), and the downright cavernous Espace (693 l). But with a respectable 513 litres, the Arkana offers plenty of practicality for every adventure you have planned.
Now let's see how the Arkana holds up against its nearest competitors. While bearing a greater boot space than the Mazda CX-5 (506 l), BMW X1 (505 l), and the Kia Sportage (503 l), the Arkana is outshined by the Opel Grandland (514 l) by just one litre. Despite this slight disadvantage, the Arkana perseveres with a larger trunk size than the Citroen C5 Aircross (580 l) and Toyota RAV4 (580 l). Mind you; these numbers are quite relative. With a whisker of a difference between them, the Arkana isn't an outlier in its competitive landscape. But ultimately, it's the perfect blend of style, practicality, and that 'je ne sais quoi' French charm that sets the Renault Arkana apart from the rest.
