FactRenault had to rename this car across the former Yugoslavia — "Arkana" sounded too close to Arkan, the notorious Serbian warlord, so it sold there as the Mégane Conquest instead.
The Renault Arkana is a compact coupé-style crossover SUV; the name derives from the Latin arcanum, meaning secret. The Russian-market version (model code LJC) debuted in May 2019 after a near-production showcar at the 2018 Moscow International Automobile Salon, built at the Renault Russia plant in Moscow on the B0+ platform, a heavily revised variant of the B0 platform used by the Captur and Duster (related to the Dacia Duster HM). It uses the 1.3 TCe turbo petrol with a Jatco CVT8, with a 1.6 H4M petrol also listed, front- or four-wheel drive and 5-speed or 6-speed manuals or an X-Tronic CVT. Assembly in Kazakhstan (SaryarkaAvtoProm, Kostanay) began in 2021 and ZAZ in Zaporizhia, Ukraine was announced on 16 September 2020; production was stopped prematurely in 2022 after international sanctions against Russia. Wheelbase 107.1 in, length 178.9 in, width 71.7 in, height 61.8 in.

Renault couldn't call this car "Arkana" everywhere — in the former Yugoslavia it's sold as the Mégane Conquest, because the name echoed Arkan, a Serbian warlord indicted for war crimes.
