Renault Captur – more outdoorsy design
Meet the New Captur: SUV‑ified and Fabulous
Why the change feels like an adventure
The latest Captur isn’t just a car—it’s a full‑blown adventure motor now, looking far more SUV‑like than its predecessor. Think of the front and rear skid plates as its personal armor, chunky wheel arches for that robust stance, and a higher waistline that screams “ready for any terrain.”
Size matters: 110 mm of extra swagger
- Overall length has grown by a solid 110 mm, giving it a more commanding presence.
- Its LED headlamps are standard across the whole Captur range, ensuring that every day starts with a bright, stylish glow.
- The rear lights mirror the front with their iconic C‑shaped design, flaunting a wide, bold tail backed by front and side segments.
Lights that speak louder than words
Rather than just illuminating the road, the LED headlamps and tail‑lamps bring personality to the front and back, drawing attention to their widened silhouette. These lights aren’t just functional; they’re a statement that says, “I’m a Captur, and I own my swagger.”
Going digital
Renault Captur Gets the Full Digital Upgrade
Renault’s newest Captur is stepping up the tech game with a 10.25‑inch customizable digital instrument panel and a 9.3‑inch infotainment screen that feels more like a tablet than a car display — and it’s promised to be the largest in its segment.
Multi‑Sense: Your Driving Personality, Naturally
- Switch between driving modes on a single touch: comfortable, sport, eco – you name it.
- Fine‑tune ambient lighting to match your mood; the Captur will light up just the way you like.
Premium Perks for the Privilege Pack
Owners of the higher‑spec Captur Privilege get a sleek, “floating” centre console that looks like it’s levitating, plus a hand‑free electronic shifter for the 7‑speed Efficient Dual Clutch (EDC) gearbox. Talk about staying classy while keeping it tech‑savvy.
Space and practicality
Renault Captur Gets a Seat Stretch & Rear‑Side Upgrade
Think of the new front seats like a pair of yoga‑experts that just got a 15 mm length extension—so they’re a bit longer, yet still comfy. And those comma‑shaped headrests? They’re like a rear‑view mirror that’s actually better, giving you a clearer view of whatever’s behind you.
Backseat Bonanza
- More legroom – the backbench now offers a generous 17 mm extra stretch.
- Moveable bench – shift the whole bar back or forward up to 160 mm to fit extra gear or people.
In other words, the Captur receives a flex‑drive that’s all about accommodating the people and stuff that matter most.
Storage Game Strong
- Boot volume – 536 L with seats in place, which is 81 L bigger than the last generation.
- Fold it up – collapse the backrests and you’re looking at a whopping 1,275 L.
- Double‑level floor – a split floor gives you both high‑and‑low storage options if you need to stash something below.
All in all, the Captur’s interior is getting a serious upgrade that balances extra room with smart storage, making it a flexible, family‑friendly ride that still keeps the humour in its design.
Drivetrain
Meet the Heartbeat of the Renault Captur
Under the hood sits a 1.3‑litre turbocharged inline‑4 that packs a punch of 129 hp and pushes a tractive force of 240 Nm. It’s the kind of engine that’s got the stamina of a marathon runner and the bite of a sparrow—small, but capable of doing a lot.
The Engine’s Squad
That same powertrain isn’t exclusive to the Captur. It also powers:
- Renault’s own Kadjar SUV—the bigger sibling to the Captur.
- Mercedes‑Benz models like the A‑Class, the CLA Shooting Brake, and the GLB‑Class.
Think of it as a versatile family member who shows up at different family events—always the reliable choice.
Fuel Efficiency: Going the Distance
The Captur’s e‑Motive “VED‑neutral” approach keeps the fuel consumption impressive: a combined 16.3 km per litre. That’s like getting around 16.3 kilometers for every litre you lift—pretty handy for both city cruising and getaway trips.
