Renault has recently revealed the name for the new crossover called Renault Arkana.

Accordingly, the automaker has sent out a new teaser image of its new SUV. It is scheduled to make its world debut at the upcoming 2018 Moscow motor show next week on August 29.

Renault had previously teased the front of the coupe-like SUV back in June. The earlier teaser image revealed the Arkana’s front to be in a quite sporty look. It is also reminiscent of Renault’s current styling language, first demonstrated by the Mégane, and a coupé-like roofline. C-shaped DRLs that feed out of the main headlights could also be seen in that teaser.

As regard of the markets like Russia, the Arkana will be based on the same M0 platform as the Captur which has already rolled out there. For the Chinese market, it is more likely to be influenced by Renault’s CMF-B platform. 

Thanks to its impressive design, the new crossover is expected to “break the mould of the SUV market”. However, in the Indian market, the SUV is unlikely to be brought any time soon.
