Towards Rafale
The Renault Captur will soon receive a facelift. AutoWeek can show you exactly what it will look like. The compact crossover mainly gets a changed front.
The current second generation Captur was presented in mid-2019, roughly six months after the current Renault Clio was launched. The Clio went under the knife earlier this year and so it is high time for Renault to tighten up the Captur. It will probably do this officially in the first quarter of 2024, but AutoWeek can already show you what the facelifted Renault Captur looks like. We have surfaced the patent drawings of the updated crossover.
As with the Clio before, Renault has paid particular attention to the front with the facelift of the Captur. The rounded toe as you know it now makes way for a significantly sharper cut face. The headlights are considerably flatter and wider and lose the C-shaped LED extension at the bottom. Instead, the updated Captur gets vertical LED daytime running lights whose shape is somewhat reminiscent of a lightning bolt. Visually, the refreshed Captur is closer to the Rafale. Between the headlights we see a segmented pattern and lower on the Captur front we see a completely new front bumper. At the rear, the changes are more subtle in nature. Here we only observe a new trim part in the rear bumper.
We do not expect far-reaching technical changes. In addition to petrol engines and bi-fuel LPG engines, the Renault Captur is also available with hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains. We don’t expect an electric Captur.
