In the four years since it first came on the market, Captur has set a new benchmark in the crossover sector. It’s one of Groupe Renault’s best sellers, with sales of 215,670 units. And the success story continues.
More custom-colour choices
New Captur carries on where on its highly successful predecessor left off, starting with the striking two-tone colour scheme. There are two new body colours — Atacama Orange and Ocean Blue — and a new Platinum Grey roof option. Then there’s a wide range of interior custom packs to choose from.
Unmistakably crossover
The radiator grille with chrome trim is a nod to Captur’s bigger sibling, Kadjar. And the front and rear bumpers feature new skid plates.
Then from the third equipment level, New Captur can come with a fixed sunroof, for an even brighter interior.
Practical and refined interior
The interior is even more refined than on its predecessor, with quality materials, specially redesigned door panels and a more modern gearshift.
And it carries over all the previous version’s acclaimed practicality features such as the Easy Life glove box and removable seat covers.
Two questions to Mario Polla, Captur Design Project Manager
What was your goal when designing the New Captur?
The Captur was the first model in Renault’s new SUV line-up. It was important for us to refresh its external appearance in line with the newer models in the range, the Kadjar and the Koleos. We also enhanced the quality inside the cabin by replacing injection-moulded plastic with trimmed materials, and the choice of colours and fabrics is now more sophisticated too.
What are the major enhancements?
We have paid great attention to every detail overall and the strength of the car. We upgraded largely the fit & finish of the car.
