Distinct SUV design

Blind Spot Warning assists the driver to avoid a collision by detecting vehicles in the blind spot area when changing lanes.

Smarter technology

The Smart Cockpit offers best-in-class in Renault technology, such as the prominent 9.3ﱢ multimedia screen, which is one of the largest in the segment. The slightly curved portrait tablet brings a distinct modernity to the passenger compartment, with its curvature – angled towards the driver – improving the legibility of its screen. The Renault EASY LINK multimedia system presents an all-connected and customised multimedia experience, onboard navigation and infotainment services.

The hands-free key card is the ultimate in convenience. One doesn’t need to remove the key card when opening and closing the vehicle. Plus, there’s a convenient STOP/START button for an effortless driving experience. The multi-sense drive modes allow one to customise the drive to suit the mood, from ECO to NORMAL through to SPORT mode, while the subtle ambient lighting within the cockpit mirrors the selected mode. The analogue displays from the previous version have also been replaced with a digitally configured screen.

Interior quality

The floating centre console is a key component of the All-New Captur’s Smart Cockpit. Elevated for improved driving position ergonomics and to make the gear lever easier to manoeuvre, its latest embodiment gives the passenger compartment a more streamlined experience. Above all, it frees up space for storage and for the location of the smartphone’s wireless charging system.

The passenger compartment in the All-New Renault Captur is enriched with modern fittings that improve its comfort, ergonomics and overall quality. The top-of-the -range materials, soft coverings for the dashboard, meticulously finished fittings and new seat architecture all contribute to the feeling of luxury onboard.

Practicality comes standard

Its volume can be adjusted via the rear bench that slides 16cm forward, providing an additional 536 litres for everyday load convenience. With the rear seats folded down, an almost flat floor is created, providing a loading length of 1275 litres.

The floor board offers multiple positions, allowing either maximum load height or hidden storage for items to be stowed within the Captur.

The vehicle offers up to 27 litres of interior storage, with the standard sliding armrest providing a convenient storage facility. There’s more roominess overall due to the vehicle being taller, wider and longer.

All in all, the All-New Captur provides unmatched modularity.

Spirited performance

The 1.3 turbo, 113kW Formula 1 inspired engine offers good low-down torque of 270Nm, providing better performance, and outstanding fuel consumption from only 6.6L/100km, thanks to a 7-speed automatic Efficiency Dual Clutch (EDC) gearbox mated to the engine: very powerful yet economical. The gear change paddles are located behind the steering wheel, while the MULTI-SENSE Sport mode provide the aficionado with a greater feeling of sportiness and enjoyment at the wheel.
