NEW CARS: Renault Captur

The NEW Renault Captur

From the first pictures, the Renault Captur looks very stylish. It’s a crossover as big as a Nissan Juke.

 

The front has stylish hints of the new Clio, the back reminds me of a Nissan Qashqai and the roof can be painted on a fashionable contrasting colour. Apparently is going to be cheaper to buy than a Vauxhall Mokka which only had average reviews. Renault claims that the Captur will have engines with better economy and lower emissions than the Juke and the Mokka. The dashboard looks very high-tech with all the latest electronic gadgets.

Renault claims that the Captur will have engines with better economy and lower emissions than the Juke and the Mokka. The dashboard looks very high-tech with all the latest electronic gadgets. However, in contrast with all the interior technology, we can also see the use of recycled parts firstly seen in a 2002 Megane such as the gearknob, pedals, the wing mirror controls and some other minor switches.

Let’s hope these little glitches don’t stop potential buyers of the Captur. This new car also shows once again that, unlike some German makers like Audi, Renault can still produce some interesting looking vehicles and not just a photocopy of another model from their endless range. MG
