Renault India is doing well in the Indian market despite having a limited model line. Having said that, it looks like the French automaker plans to expand its portfolio in the Indian market by introducing a new compact SUV. At present, Renault sells three vehicles in India at the moment: the Kiger, the Triber, and the entry-level hatchback Kwid. Since Renault has already stopped producing its most popular Duster, it indicates that a replacement is on the way. We recently reported on the Renault Arkana SUV being discovered in India, and the SUV's test mule has been spotted again, revealing the vehicle's sharper design and dimensions.

The spy photos clearly depict the Arkana SUV's dimensions and styling. Arkana has a sloping roofline that integrates with the boot, giving it a high-riding notchback appearance. The Arkana is built on the B0 platform, which also underlies vehicles such as the Renault Duster and Captur. It has crisp LED headlights merged with L-shaped LED DRLs upfront, as well as LED taillights with a linked LED stripe across the tailgate. On the outside, it has dual-cut blackened alloy wheels.
The worldwide version of the automobile measures 4545 mm in length, with width and height measurements of 1820 mm and 1565 mm, respectively. The wheelbase, on the other hand, is 2721 mm long.
While the firm has yet to announce formal data regarding the Arkana in India, we anticipate that it would sell this SUV with the same 1.3-L turbocharged petrol engine that powers the Duster and the Kicks. It might also have a 1.6-liter petrol engine paired with an E-tech hybrid system, as suggested by the display of the E-tech badge on the test mule.
