2017 RENAULT Captur 1.2L TCe 6MT FWD (120 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Based on the same platform as the Renault Clio IV, the Captur was the best selling crossover on the European market. It offered more interior room than its smaller brother and a good taste for adventure.

The Captur was proof that a crossover doesn’t need to be all-wheel-drive to be successful on the market. It had to be good in city traffic, easy to park, and able to jump over a curb without damaging the bodywork or the side sills. The 2013 model was facelifted in 2017 and it brought some improvements in all areas.

The long-Clio-on-stilts Captur took the B-Platform from the Renault-Nissan alliance and improved it with a better-looking bodywork. There was a new set of headlights. The DRLs were on the lower side of the bumper and when lit, they formed a “C” letter. A wide lower grille was installed between them. From the side, the wave-like sculptured doors made the car looks longer than it was. In the back, a roof-spoiler was installed over the rear windscreen. The rear bumper was redesigned as well.

Inside, the 2017 Captur received more options to upgrade the driving experience and onboard comfort. The instrument cluster featured two dials: one for the tachometer and the other for the fuel level. Between them, on an LCD, there was a digital speedometer. The front bucket seats were available in six different customization packs, with different colors. In the back, there were not too many improvements, apart from the upholstery.

Under the hood, the 2017 Captur was offered with a choice of diesel and gasoline engines ranged between 90 hp and 120 hp.
