The number of used Renault Arkanas offered for sale in Russia is significantly higher than those produced on the same Renault Duster platform, because buyers are afraid to buy a second-hand Arkana with a turbo engine and a robotic transmission. reported Sergei Zinoviev, expert of the magazine “Behind the Wheel”.

“On the secondary market, Arkana is more represented than the more common Duster. It has more interesting equipment, the crossover coupe format is in fashion, and prices are equal – and this indicates low liquidity. It is not difficult to explain; there is no hydraulic automatic transmission, no two-liter naturally aspirated engine, and no diesel engine either,” Zinoviev wrote.

According to him, Arkana is extremely reliable, and sudden failures rarely occur on this car with a mileage of up to 100 thousand km. There are no problems with the service of these cars: after Renault left Russia, the responsibility for maintenance and supply of spare parts is borne by domestic Lada dealerships. At the same time, the expert admitted that operational data on the reliability of the 1.3 turbo engines equipped with Arkana crossovers are not yet sufficient.
