The second Arkana (LJL) uses the CMF-B modular platform and is related to the second-generation Captur and the fifth-generation Clio; it was launched in South Korea in February 2020 as the Renault Samsung XM3 (Renault XM3 from 2022 to 2024), built at Busan, and is purely front-wheel drive, 25 mm longer than the B0-based Russian car. The Korean car has a 1.3-litre turbo petrol with a 7-speed EDC or a 1.6-litre petrol with a Jatco CVT7; in September 2020 the rebadged car was launched in Renault markets outside the CIS as the Renault Arkana, in the former Yugoslav countries as the Renault Mégane Conquest (Arkana being close to the name of the Serbian paramilitary Arkan), with a mild-hybrid 1.3-litre turbo and 7-speed EDC in Europe and, in the E-Tech Hybrid, a 1.6 L H4M with two electric machines and a 1.2 kWh lithium-ion battery producing 141 bhp (143 PS, 105 kW). It reached Australia in August 2021 and was facelifted in July 2023; European production ran 2020 to 2025 and Iranian assembly (Soroush Motor Mabna, Salafchegan) 2024 to 2025. Wheelbase 107.1 in, length 179.9 in, width 71.7 in, height 62.0 in; the kerb weight range (3,020 to 3,463 lb) is not entered.

Renault 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.
