Renault Arkana E-Tech Hybrid: CITY fuel economy consumption real-life test mpg urban l/100 km

Here you have the CITY fuel consumption (fuel economy real-life test) of Renault Arkana E-Tech Hybrid 2021/2022 in a city (urban area, also in heavy traffic). This car has 1.6 l inline-4 petrol engine plus electric motor. Whole system offers 107 kW (145 HP) power, FWD, automatic gearbox. Result: 4.2 l/100 km (56.0 mpg US / 67.3 mpg UK).
Fuel consumption (economy) results for Renault Arkana Hybrid E-Tech in other scenarios: • Renault Arkana E-Tech ...
eco city: 4.2 l/100 km (56.0 / 67.3 mpg US/UK)
90 km/h (56 mph): 4.9 l/100 km (48.0 / 57.7 mpg US/UK)
120 km/h (75 mph): 6.7 l/100 km (35.1 / 42.2 mpg US/UK)
140 km/h (87 mph): 8.4 l/100 km (28.0 / 33.6 mpg US/UK)
v. fast driving: ~9-11 l/100 km (~26-21 / ~31-26 mpg US/UK)
Tyres: Nokian WR SUV3 215/55 R18 99V XL with "C" index rolling resistance.
As always, I checked real fuel consumption on a petrol station. I noticed 1% difference: computer shows lower by ~1% fuel consumption comparing to what I refueled.

It's incredible !!! Bravo! I have the same E Tech model, but I can't manage in the current conditions (2000 km trip and temperature 10 degrees Celsius to get a consumption better than 6 l / 100 km in urban regime.

[@gospelhubdigital]

Awesome results!

[@MRT.1977]

Brilliant, amazing mpg 👍👍. I am looking to get one.

[@kingphiltheill]

Thanks for all the hard work, very interesting.

[@branoh2057]

Hello there, superb result.. Mine the same as mentioned before. 3500km driven so far, avg consumption 6,2l/100km and impossible to reduce further. Using B-mode in city, D-mode outside. Temp between 0-8 Celsius, winter tyres

[@markmd9]

You use D for flat and B for hills

[@pablo3558]

you can reduce consumption when weather is hot

isn't the B mode for braking with ICE?

[@adidasC4]

Hello, can you make the same test on a Ford Puma please?

[@mpci]

Great result. I have the Rs line version. With only 2 months and 2200 kms only, my avg consumption is 5,1l. I leave in Portugal and the temp is 16 celsius in winter. Lets see in the summer..

[@diogotonelo3132]

(ola!) ;D I all so live in Portugal , what was your avg fuel consumption in the summer with the a/c on ?

[@HL-uw7fk]

Do you maybe know numbers for micro hybrid version TCe 160ks?

[@1001cars]

Unfortunately, I did not test such version of this car.

[@stevehartley7504]

Has the fact of the different sizes of gallons in the UK and US been taken into account?

[@1001cars]

Do you see the difference between mpg UK compared to mpg US? :)

[@rinokurian3]

Toyota chr 1.8 hybrid or arkana 145 hybrid which is more fuel efficient combined?

[@1001cars]

All necessary data you will find here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anqle2Vuhc59gbs

[@tereziablahutova5813]

How is the difference with B-mode?

[@runebdrim6733]

B mode is a engine brake that when you get used to it you dont need to use traditional brake

[@andreialexandrescu7089]

Also, do you recommend this engine a 40% urban driving, 60% extra urban driving? Seeing your results from the fuel comparison (i think it is in the other arkana fuel consumption video) between similar models t-roc (150hp) should have a better fuel economy for extra-urban drives and i am thinking to cancel my e-tech order. :(

[@1001cars]

The difference in extra urban is not very big. IMO it should not be the case. When these consumptions are quite similar (extra-urban) I will choose faster, more comfort car for me. Of course I would take into consideration consumption in a city.

[@andreialexandrescu7089]

Yeah, you are right. unfortunately arkana is not that powerful. I will try to find some alternatives to arkana, maybe the 1.3l 160 hp would be a better fit. Thank you!

[@UroSS321]

Nice MPG but ... I wonder what will so many engine on/off do to it after 50-100kkm.

[@1001cars]

Look at Toyota hybrid cars. Do they have problems with durability?

[@aspecreviews]

@@1001cars No! I have a 2002 Prius, runs perfectly after 200,000+ kms.

[@tereziablahutova5813]

I already know, got new RS line week ago, B mode is just wow 😊

[@bonaray]

Hello all, I'm looking at getting one If these I do around 20miles a day, and it's I'm town, works I just only ever use the electric motor and no fuel in b mode ?

[@1001cars]

I am not sure if I understood you properly. It is normal hybrid (not plug-in hybrid) so, you will always use some amount of fuel, even on short distances.

[@bonaray]

@@1001cars thanks:) I wasn't sure how far you could go in b mode in it, as I only do short drives around town at 2 or 3 miles at a time, the way I understood this video was the the engine wasn't kicking in

[@1001cars]

@@bonaray watch the video carefully :) Final time of the trip with combustion engine off is the sum of every piece of drive with combustion engine off. It does not mean that you can drive in electric mode for 3 or 4 miles in a row

Hi its your personal car?

[@andreialexandrescu7089]

Hi. Do you mean that the real fuel consumption is 5.2l?

[@1001cars]

Why 5.2? The result from city driving is 4.2 l/100 km

[@andreialexandrescu7089]

@@1001cars you wrote in description that you have checked at the end, the real consumption at fuel pump and you discovered that board computer shows 1% less than the real one. Now i am not sure if 1% difference means 1l per 100 (4.2/100+1/100=5.2/100) or 1% error (like 0.01x4.2l=4.242l). How that my question is more clear this time.

[@1001cars]

@@andreialexandrescu7089 1% means 1%, 1 out of 100%, where 100% is in that case 4,2 l/100 km

[@andreialexandrescu7089]

@@1001cars oh ok. I Asked because other KZbinrs use percent as a abbreviation for “l/100”. So for a 8l/100 they just write 8%. Thank you for clarification!
