Renault Arkana
✓Relatively comfortable and pleasant for urban driving and rough road conditions
✓Distinctive design that makes it stand out on the street
✓Unique and unconventional design that blends SUV elements with a hatchback body, setting it apart in the local market
✓Relatively spacious passenger cabin for the price, with comfortable seats and rich tech features in higher trim levels
✗Frequent faults in the multimedia system and climate control, especially in the hot summer
✗Slow customer service and spare parts logistics issues locally
✗The basic 1.3 turbo engine is relatively weak (140 hp) and delivers disappointing performance, especially on inclines and during acceleration
✗Relatively high pricing compared to competitors (e.g., Suzuki SX4 sedan or Kia Ceed) and expensive long-term maintenance
Toyota Corolla Cross
✓High reliability even in dense urban driving conditions
✓Relatively low fuel consumption given the local fuel prices
✓Particularly low fuel consumption (around 1:15–1:18 per kilometre) thanks to the 1.8-litre hybrid or petrol engine
