For the model-year update, the company consolidated both the Hybrid E-Tech and 1.6 GTe versions into a single Iconic trim to streamline specifications. Front-row ventilated seats are now standard, and the price of the optional Camel Brown synthetic leather seat package has been lowered, Renault Korea said.
The 2027 Arkana comes standard with 17-inch dark gray alloy wheels, which the company said improves fuel efficiency. The Hybrid E-Tech is rated at 17.4 kilometers per liter in combined fuel economy, while the 1.6 GTe is rated at 13.6 kilometers per liter.
Renault Korea said the Hybrid E-Tech incorporates hybrid know-how from Renault Group’s F1 cars and is expected to deliver real-world fuel economy above the official rating.
Driver convenience features were also upgraded. The OpenR Link navigation system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto and provides real-time Tmap navigation information. Advanced driver assistance systems are included as standard equipment.
To mark the launch, Renault Korea is offering a “New Start” special support program to buyers this month. The benefit applies if the buyer or a family member has had a birth, school enrollment, marriage or newly obtained driver’s license since Jan. 1, 2026. The company is also running a new-model promotion that includes up to three years of interest-free installments for the Arkana 1.6 GTe.
Pricing, based on the reduced individual consumption tax, starts at 33,129,000 won for the Hybrid E-Tech (with eco-friendly vehicle tax benefits applied) and 26.4 million won for the 1.6 GTe.
