Renault Arkana
The Renault Arkana is a compact crossover produced by Renault. It is assembled by Renault Russia at its Moscow plant and its unveiling took place at the 2018 Moscow International Automobile Salon through a near-production showcar. The car has a coupe-like styling. The Arkana is built on the Renault B0+ platform, a heavily revised variant of the B0 platform used by models such as the Kaptur and the Duster.
A similar car was launched in South Korea as the Renault Samsung XM3. Instead of riding above the B0 platform like the Russian Arkana, the XM3 uses the modular platform CMF-B and is related to the second-generation Renault Captur. The XM3 is also purely a front-wheel drive car. The XM3 is planned to be released in Western Europe as the Renault Arkana.Name
Renault said the name derives from the Latin arcanum, meaning secret.XM3 Inspire
A showcar based on the Arkana, the XM3 Inspire, was introduced by Renault subsidiary Renault Samsung Motors and unveiled at the 2019 Seoul Motor Show. The main differences with the Arkana are a redesigned front grill, a different colour scheme and a revised bodywork.
