The New Renault Captur: the B-segment car for living

-

Renault Captur is the B-segment “car for living”. It is versatile and multitalen­ted, both compact on the outside (4.23m) and spacious on the inside, modular to adapt to the uses of modern families, equally at home in the city or off the grid. Its high driving position is appreciate­d by its owners, allowing easy access to the vehicle and good visibility of the road. All these qualities explain the success of a car that has sold over two million units in 90 countries around the world since its launch ten years ago.

New Renault Captur adopts the new design language initiated by Gilles Vidal, Renault’s Head of Design. Playing on light and matter with taut lines and precise detailing, the new language creates a more stylish and dynamic effect. With its new front end, New Captur gains a more premium look.

New Captur will continue to set the standard in urban SUVs. New Captur maintains its versatilit­y, two-tone body colours and generous interior space, along with a range of ingenious high-tech equipment.

Alongside these qualities, which are all part of its DNA, newgenerat­ion Captur gains a range of new features. More expressive inside and out, the styling delivers a unique twist of elegance and sporting spirit with the new esprit Alpine trim. The cabin is showcased by new upholstery and new dashboard screens. Depending on the version, the OpenR Link multimedia system with Google built-in provides the very best in on-board technology with Android Automotive 12, a world first in the B segment. The entirely new electronic architectu­re takes safety to new levels, with a range of latest-generation driving aids.

New Captur will be offered with two engine choices, including the 145 bhp E-Tech full hybrid option. For enhanced driving pleasure and a more dynamic ride, the running gear has been revised and the power steering recalibrat­ed.

Built at the Valladolid plant, New Renault Captur will be available from Q3 2024.

A more dynamic exterior design

Showcased by the new Ceramic Grey bodywork and esprit Alpine trim, New Captur takes on a more athletic look with premium styling. Featuring a new light signature and two-tone bodywork configurat­ions, New Captur gains even greater appeal.

New front end

The new front end takes on a more elegant, technologi­cal look, with the Nouvel’R one-piece logo built into the multifacet­ed grille, and a higher, more horizontal bonnet. All these details underline the stronger identity of New Captur.

The upper part of the grille creates a play of light, with its shapes in relief and the contrast between the dark glossy background and the transparen­t inserts. This sets off multiple reflection­s across the radiator grille, like a wave rippling out from the diamond in the centre towards the headlights and the bumper, with its tiny embossed parallelog­rams.

The front end features a horizontal air intake above the aerodynami­c splitter, with another in the bumper. Two air inlets positioned on either side of the front end, next to the daytime running lights, contribute to aerodynami­cs and the cooling of the front brakes.

New light signature The new front lights feature full LED technology as standard on all levels of trim. As with New Clio, the LED daytime running lights take on a vertical halfdiamon­d shape, freely inspired by the brand logo. The headlights come to life in a new welcome sequence when the doors are unlocked remotely, creating a friendly, modern effect.

A more contempora­ry rear end

The rear light housing is now transparen­t, revealing the structure of the light units inside. Combined with the new logo and redesigned diffuser, this feature gives the rear end a more contempora­ry look with a higher level of perceived quality.

Three stylish levels of trim

The evolution trim features 17-inch alloy wheels and a matt black finish on the lower body and beltline with long, black front and rear skid plates. The higher techno trim features all-new 18-inch alloy wheels and a High Gloss Black finish on the lower body and beltline. The new esprit Alpine trim is immediatel­y identifiab­le, with its Ice Black logos, High Gloss Black window surrounds, 19inch wheels of specific design, aerodynami­c splitter and front and rear skid plates with Slate Grey matt finish. Two-tone bodywork Six body colours are available: Arctic White, Oyster Grey, Diamond Black, Ceramic Grey, Iron Blue and Flame Red. The two-tone colour scheme, which is optional on techno and standard on esprit Alpine, is popular with customers, who can select Diamond Black for the roof and door mirrors.

A wide range of new exterior accessorie­s

New Captur can be personalis­ed with a wide range of equipment available on order or through the dealer network, including underbody lighting, sidesteps, towbars, bicycle racks and illuminate­d door sills.
