Captur is the new urban crossover from Renault. Its flowing lines highlight its distinctive proportions, while its large wheels, generous ground clearance, wide tracks and steeply raked, forward-set windscreen form a unique blend of MPV, SUV and hatchback, conceived and made reality by Renault. It lends itself perfectly to an extensive personalisation programme, too. With its many permutations of two-tone bodywork, wheel colours, upholstery fabrics and graphic decals, Captur will appeal to a particularly broad spectrum of customer tastes.

The creative freedom enjoyed by Renault’s designers shines through in the features and generous interior space expected from this type of car. Though compact (it is only fractionally longer than New Clio), Renault Captur is particularly roomy. The sliding rear bench seat provides the ideal balance of space for passengers and their luggage, with a maximum load space of 455 litres (up to the parcel shelf). In the passenger compartment, two ingenious innovations underline Captur’s character as a truly user-friendly vehicle: a large drawer-type glove box (unavailable in UK), which is easy for the driver to reach and holds 11 litres, and the availability of removable and washable seat covers, which make the car ideal for everyday life, as well as potential resale time.
