THE RENAULT Captur is one of many small SUVs, perhaps more popular in Europe than it has proven in Australia.
However, Renault is hoping that will change when the all-new model arrives in mid-2020, with new design, new interior with Smart Cockpit, new quality standards, new equipment, new technologies and new driving aids.
As a pioneer on the urban SUV market, the Captur has sold 1.2 million units since its launch in 2013. It rapidly became the best seller in its segment, both in France and in Europe.
The new Captur embodies the Renault Group’s new strategy as part of the Drive the Future plan (2017-2022).
Its importance is due, first, to its international dimension. It is now a true global product. Already sold on every continent, the new Captur will also be manufactured in China.
Its importance is also due to its technological dimension as it meets the three pillars of the mobility of the future:
- Electric-powered: The new Captur will be the first Renault model to benefit from a plug-in hybrid engine named E-TECH Plug-in.
- Connected: The new Captur illustrates this dynamic with its new connected multimedia system EASY LINK and the Renault EASY CONNECT ecosystem.
- Autonomous: The new Captur will be one of the pioneers. With the new Clio, aids leading to autonomous driving will be fitted as standard to models in B-segment.
