The times have come and a rethink is required. The diesel debate is becoming more and more serious, hybrids to be taken more seriously, vehicle class is becoming blurred - a spirit of optimism in car manufacturing. That is what Renault thought and brought the Renault Capture onto the market. Although it is an SUV, it lacks all-wheel drive and thus clearly shows where the journey is headed. Sports Utility Vehicle: The name does not include all-wheel drive or off-road use, but rather a modern way of dealing with everyday life and customer requests. That works well for the French crossover - so well that the "Createur d´automobile" are now launching a noble special model of the Renault Capture.
Crossboarder - there is already part of the truth in it: crossover. That is exactly what the Renault Captur is and combines the look of an off-road vehicle with economical engines, compact dimensions and a comfortable seating position. In order to upgrade the look and comfort, the French are now donating a special model, the 15. June starts from 20.090 Euro. The basis is the equipment line XMOD, the top version for the capture. It offers a front and rear apron with indicated underride protection, an extended traction control "Extended Grip" for moving on difficult ground, the online infotainment Renault R-Link Evolution with 7 inch touchscreen and voice control, seat heating in front, parking aid in front and rear and automatic climate control. Full hut, as they say in France.
The Renault Capture Crossboarder has exclusive design packages. For example, the body is in mother-of-pearl white and is spruced up with blue and black elements inside and out. Alternatively, you can switch to smoke blue, Pacific blue or platinum gray. Or even choose the crossover in one color in black-pearl-black. There are also decorative strips and hub covers in Pacific blue, which attractively enhance the 17-inch light alloy wheels in gloss-turned black. In addition, the special model offers a roof and mirror caps in Black-Pearl-Black as well as blue "Waves" stickers. Together with the heavily tinted windows from the B-pillar, this creates a sporty appearance.
The blue thread continues inside. The color can be found on the middle panels of the partial leather upholstery "Outdoor", while the black side panels and door panels are provided with blue stitching. The center console, shift gate and loudspeaker in turn have trim in blue metallic and are complemented by the control panel for the automatic air conditioning, which is framed by a light strip. Pedals and a gear knob in aluminum also suggest sportiness.
At the same time as the Renault Capture Crossboard, the French are introducing a new engine, the ENERGY TCe 120 with 6 manual gearbox. The unit provides 118 PS and offers direct injection. For the first time, it is available with an 6 gearshift and can be ordered for all equipment from Experience. The consumption of 5,5 to 5,6 liters should be on average.
