The car is available in the Indian market since 2017, also badged as Captur. The Brazilian-made Captur GA was marketed in Uruguay since November 2017 as the Grand Captur to differentiate it with the European Captur, which was available in the country since February 2016. The 1.6/2.0 engine was changed to 1.3 TCe engine (170cv), produced with Mercedes-Benz. In 2021, Renault made a new version of Captur, changing the interior and the engine of it. The Brazilian-made Captur GA is exported throughout Latin America. That same year, the Brazilian Captur was named as Best Design by Americar (automotive press association of Latin America).

The Brazilian version has manual (five-speed), CVT and automatic (four-speed) gearboxes. Brazil Ī localised Brazilian version was introduced in the beginning of 2017, badged as the Renault Captur. The front wheel drive version of this car is powered by the 1.6-litre engine and has manual gearbox or CVT, while all wheel drive versions have the 2.0-litre engine and manual or a 4-speed automatic gearbox.Īssembly in neighboring Kazakhstan began in 2021 at SaryarkaAvtoProm plant ( Kostanay), through a partnership between Renault and the Allur Group. The Renault Kaptur is manufactured by the Renault Russia plant since April 2016. Change of the naming was explained by the difficulties of the correct pronunciation of the original "Captur" name in the Russian language. The Captur GA was first introduced in Russia and the neighbouring CIS countries in 2016, badged as the Renault Kaptur. Compared to the B platform-based Captur, the Captur GA is cheaper to build as it is based on the first generation Dacia Duster platform instead of the fourth generation Clio while offering larger cabin space. This model is referred internally by Renault as the "Captur Global Access" (Captur GA). Ī larger car with a similar styling as the original Captur but with a larger wheelbase and ground clearance is being produced by Renault to capture emerging markets. In some versions, it also adds removable seat covers with zippers, a new Renault satellite navigation system with touchscreen, reverse cameras and automated head lamps and windscreen wiper. As standard, it has parking sensors and voice activation for certain functions. In 2018, the Captur added the sportier S-edition. In December 2013, Renault added a top-of-the-range Signature trim and, in 2015, the Iconic. The Captur originally had four trim levels in the UK: Expression, Expression+, Dynamique Media Nav and Dynamique S Media Nav. The Captur has some new elements, such as a large drawer-like glovebox that is more easily reachable by the driver, instead of a conventional glove compartment in left hand drive models. Brakes are discs on front and drums on rear. The car suspension is made up of MacPherson struts on front and a twist-beam axle on rear. It has various customisation options for the interior and the exterior. It incorporates design lines from the homonymous concept, as part of Renault's renovated design strategy developed by Laurens van den Acker. It offers the best economy though, with an ultra-impressive 188mpg possible.The J87 Captur is based on the fourth generation Clio and rides on the B platform. Finally a 1.6-litre petrol/electric motor and 9.8kWh battery form the plug-in hybrid version, which again offers similar performance, despite the increased weight. Those doing larger mileage may opt for the 1.5-litre diesel, as it offers similar performance and better economy, with 58mpg possible. The 1.0-litre will return around 47mpg, whilst the larger 1.3-litre will return around 44mpg. The latter takes around 10 seconds for the 0 to 62mph sprint, whilst the former takes a few seconds more. The steering feel is better than before, too.Īlthough don't go thinking this is some stiff and harsh-riding SUV Renault have made sure the suspension is soft to soak up bumps and aid comfort.Īs for engine choice, a small 1.0-litre petrol offers 98bhp, while a more potent 1.3-litre gives 128bhp. When a car is made lighter or stiffer, these tend to enhance the driving experience and the Captur is no different. It's therefore lighter than before, despite being bigger, and it's also stiffer as well. This generation of Captur shares the same underpinnings as its Renault Clio sibling.
