2022 Renault Arkana S Edition E-Tech Hybrid (E-Tech H) — combining official spec data with UK market equipment details to give you a full picture of this coupe-SUV’s capabilities and features. The Renault Arkana is a compact coupe-style SUV that blends striking design with hybrid efficiency. In 2022, the S Edition E-Tech Hybrid sat in the mid-range of the Arkana lineup, curated to give a strong mix of technology, comfort, and safety on top of solid hybrid power. Powertrain & Performance At the heart of the 2022 S Edition E-Tech Hybrid is Renault’s E-Tech full hybrid powertrain, which pairs a 1.6-litre petrol engine with two electric motors and a 230 V lithium-ion battery. The system produces a combined output of around 145 hp and delivers electric motor torque of about 250 Nm, helping improve low-speed responsiveness and overall drive smoothness compared to a conventional petrol engine. Renault’s E-Tech hybrid system uses a clutchless multi-mode automatic transmission (a smart automatic that blends electric and petrol power without a traditional gearbox’s loss). You’ll see this reflected in smooth acceleration, although it’s not as sporty as some dedicated CVT or dual-clutch systems. Performance figures for the Arkana S Edition E-Tech Hybrid are: 0–62 mph: around 10.8 seconds Top speed: about 107 mph (172 km/h) Combined WLTP fuel economy: roughly 56.5 – 58.9 mpg CO2 emissions: around 105–108 g/km These numbers make it competitive for a hybrid SUV of this size and are indicative of Renault’s focus on efficiency and lower running costs. Chassis, Drivetrain & Dimensions The Arkana is front-wheel drive with a focus on everyday usability rather than off-road performance. It rides on 215/55 R18 wheels for the S Edition, giving a balance of ride comfort and a more planted feel compared with smaller rims. Typical 2022 Arkana dimensions include a length of about 4,568 mm, width 1,820 mm, height 1,571 mm and a generous 480 litre boot capacity — larger than many traditional hatchbacks, thanks to its SUV configuration. Interior & Technology The S Edition trim builds on the base model and adds significant tech and comfort enhancements: 9.3-inch EASY LINK touchscreen with navigation, Google search and traffic info. 7-inch TFT driver display for key vehicle information. MULTI-SENSE drive modes with ambient lighting (eight colours). Adaptive Cruise Control and Traffic Sign Recognition with overspeed prevention help make motorway driving easier. Safety systems like Blind Spot Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert are standard. Practical upgrades include an auto-dimming rear view mirror, leather steering wheel, and height-adjustable front passenger seat. Externally, it gains 18-inch Pasadena diamond-cut alloys, chrome trim enhancements, and extra-tinted rear windows for a more premium look. Safety & Driver Assistance While exact Euro NCAP ratings for each trim aren’t always quoted in spec sheets, the Arkana range includes a suite of Advanced D
