The passenger compartment is restrained and pure, while seat-covers are removable for easy washing.

The interior of Renault Captur is designed to be both welcoming and occupant-friendly. The Captur uses the same platform as the new Clio which should make it more than capable of delivering best-level dynamics, from road holding and agile handling to engine response and smart features. Top speed is rated at 192km/h with 0-100km/h dispatched in 10.9 seconds. Fuel consumption is claimed to be a remarkable (up to) 5.4L/100km, achievable by engaging the Captur’s ECO mode which automatically changes the way the powertrain operates – engine torque is restricted, EDC gear change mapping is altered to change gear at lower engine speed and the climate control programme changes to save energy. Mated to a 6-speed Efficient Dual Clutch (EDC) transmission, Renault’s new drivetrain delivers maximum power of 120hp at 4900 rpm and peak torque of 190 Nm that is available from as low as 2,000 rpm. The Captur features the company’s 1.2litre Turbo Control Efficiency or TCe 120 engine – a thoroughly modern powertrain that comes in a small engine displacement with a turbocharger, delivering performance equivalent to a traditional 1.8L engine. Thanks to its compact footprint of 4.12m x 1.77m x 1.57m (it’s smaller than the HR-V which stands at 4,294mm long, 1,772mm wide and 1,605mm) and large 17-inch wheels, it proclaims its sporty vocation and lust for adventure, while its substantial high driving position raises it to the level of a number of crossovers and 4x4s from the next segment up. Renault Captur’s smooth, fluid, balanced forms express an assertive yet unpretentious personality. Inspired by three keywords – simple, sensuous and warm – this new design strategy will guide the brand’s future vision and pave the way for a clear and consistent range of models,” said Kuan Kim Luen, Chief Executive Officer, TC Euro Cars Sdn Bhd. “The Captur epitomises Renault’s new human design language, which puts people in the forefront of its concerns. Renault Captur also features the brand’s the new frontal identity, which has as its centrepiece a large Renault logo, set vertically against a dark surface so as to stand out as clearly as possible. It’s all very round, very organic looking and I know more than a few females who’d drool at this. The front windscreens are steeply-raked, creating a very dynamic stance even when stationary and the two-part horizontal rear lights permit a wide tailgate while steering clear of a boxy look. The designers wanted to come up with a vehicle based on athletes and sports equipment and in the Captur, they’ve done a fantastic job at conveying an exterior theme that’s muscular, powerful yet sophisticated and elegant. Angles, corners and lines have given way to sensuous and natural forms with the main sources of inspiration being athletes and radical sports. In its proportions and fluid curves, Renault Captur evokes movement and lightness, yet at the same time displaying powerful and muscular all-terrain cues. I’ve recently been to South Korea and it’s quite common on the roads there. This increasingly successful compact urban crossover has also been the best-selling model in Europe’s small SUV segment. Unlike others of the segment, the Captur provides on extra thing the expressive styling of French flair. Since its debut, the Captur has become one of Renault’s most popular and in-demand models, with over 360,000 units sold globally to date. Like most compact SUVs, the new Renault Captur promises the high driving position of an SUV, the cabin space and modular interior of an MPV and the agility and driving enjoyment of a compact sedan. Pretty much what the Honda HR-V, Ford Ecosport, Peugeot 2008 and GWM M4 claims to offer too. TC Euro Cars, the sole franchise holder for Renault cars in Malaysia, today previewed the sporty and versatile compact crossover that promises to deliver driving fun, enjoyable performance, a comprehensive safety package and remarkable fuel efficiency. The compact SUV segment in Malaysia just got a little more crowded with the introduction of the Renault Captur, Renault’s first urban crossover.
