With the first CAPTUR, Renault set the trend for an entirely new segment in 2013 and it is therefore not surprising that this model is still the market leader in this segment. The arrival of a plug-in hybrid version makes emission-free driving possible. What makes this versatile SUV so popular?
Renault continued the trend towards higher cars in the 1990s, with the first MEGANE SCENIC; this MPV with many uses became a direct sales hit. Once used to the higher seating position and the accompanying good all-round visibility, most motorists do not want to go back. Those extra centimeters in height are not only very pleasant for getting in or out, but also for loading luggage and groceries or for lifting the little ones in their child seat. That is why many families are now opting for an SUV like the Renault CAPTUR.
Youthful appearance, adult equipment
With its contemporary look and the modern, thoughtful interior, the Renault CAPTUR has a unique position in its class. And with one of the option packages you can put together the inside according to your own taste. That also applies to the outside. With more than 90 exterior combinations, you can always put together a Renault CAPTUR that suits your taste exactly. The standard equipment is very complete in every version, including air conditioning, cruise control, an audio system with DAB +, LED lighting and a sliding rear seat.

Extremely efficient: the Renault CAPTUR Plug-in Hybrid
New in the program is the new Renault CAPTUR Plug-in Hybrid. The electric motors provide smooth acceleration and enable a quiet top speed of 135 km / h. In the city an electric range of up to 65 kilometers is feasible, on average that is 50 kilometers. That is more than enough for many of the daily journeys and you can always drive emission-free in the city. The two electric motors and petrol engine deliver a power of 117 kW / 159 hp and transfer their power to the front wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. Because you drive many kilometers electrically, the fuel consumption of the new Renault CAPTUR Plug-in Hybrid is extremely low. In principle, charging once a day is sufficient, but those who charge more often can drive even more electric kilometers.
Optimal security
Also when it comes to safety, Renault has a reputation to uphold, with invariably the highest scores in the EuroNCAP crash tests. The new Renault CAPTUR is always equipped with the latest safety technologies. These systems are available in every version: Active Emergency Braking System with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist, Safe Distance Warning and Traffic Sign Recognition. In plain English: if necessary, the Renault CAPTUR itself stops for cyclists or pedestrians suddenly crossing the road, it keeps driving neatly between the white lines, warns you if you are too close to a vehicle in front and the camera recognizes all traffic signs and displays them in the dashboard .
The Renault CAPTUR is a quirky and versatile SUV that builds on the success of its predecessor. There is a choice of various petrol engines, there is a version on LPG and there is the partly electric new Renault CAPTUR Plug-in Hybrid. In addition, there is plenty of choice in trim levels and option packages, so that there is always a version that suits you.
