Renault Arkana wins Best Hybrid category at the Auto Trader Awards

The Renault Arkana has lived up to its hybrid by nature promise after owner feedback saw it win the Best Hybrid category at the Auto Trader Awards 2022.

Auto Trader’s New Car Award 2022 winners were determined by over 156,000 UK car owners, with drivers asked to rate their cars across 16 different criteria, spanning reliability and performance to appearance and running costs. The Arkana, which was designed as a hybrid from the outset, took the win after impressing owners with its contemporary looks that fuse coupé style with the robustness of an SUV, refinement and modern features.

Erin Baker, Auto Trader’s editorial director, said: “When it comes to the best hybrid car, power, reliability, safety and comfort were factors that consumers valued the most. The Renault Arkana brings all of these, as well as some elegant styling.

“When speaking about the French coupé-SUV, owners told us that it’s a very smart, modern, comfortable car. They love it.”

Erin added: “The Auto Trader New Car Awards recognise the brands and cars that are doing it right in the eyes of those whose opinions matter most: consumers. They prove how manufacturers are taking consumers’ needs into consideration and innovating to bring a great and wide choice to market. Renault, and all of this year’s winners, are incredibly well-deserving.”
