The first product from Renault SA to incorporate electric propulsion will be the Arkana, a new type of family-focused coupe-SUV with a sloped roof that the company hopes to launch here. The Arkana E-Tech Hybrid which pairs a 1.6 l petrol engine that juices up the batteries on the move. The car is likely to arrive here early in 2024, according to Zian Van Heerden, sales and operations vice-president of the company. The car was part of numerous new models and concepts the French brand showcased at this week's Paris Motor Show 2022, which Motor News attended. The new entrants and ideas included the new 4Ever Trophy concept, which is a modern and more rugged take on the 1984 Renault 4 mishmash of a station-wagon and a hatchback. Positioned in series behind it is the Renault 5 Turbo 3E, an electric concept that pays homage to the wide-body rally star Renault 5 Turbo, whose legacy was continued in the now-defunct Clio V6.
