CarTell take
We haven't driven the Arkana yet. On paper, its 2019 five-star ANCAP rating expired at the end of 2025, and the base Evolution grade is gone.
Why consider it
- On paper, a coupe-style SUV with a big 485L boot and a long standard equipment list, including a 360 camera and heated power seats, from $41,990.
What to know
- The 'Hybrid' badge covers a 12V mild hybrid with a 3.6kW motor, so official combined fuel use is unchanged at 5.9L/100km.
- It also no longer has a current ANCAP rating.
