The New Renault Captur - Unmistakably a crossover

The Renault Captur, Europe’s best-selling urban crossover in 2016 with unit sales of 215,670, has reinvented itself to feature more distinctive styling and new advanced technologies, without sacrificing any of its user-friendliness. For the first time, a Captur Initiale Paris version will be available. Along with Koleos and the Kadjar, Renault now offers a comprehensive line-up of crossovers.

Captur has evolved by taking a step closer in style to its bigger sibling, the Kadjar. The radiator grille has been modified to bring it more into line with the Renault brand’s other crossovers, with the notable addition of a chrome strip. At both the front and rear, the bumper incorporates new skid plates in evidence of the Captur’s adventurer credentials. 

Four types of wheel are available across the first three equipment levels: two 16-inch rims (Extreme and Adventure) and two 17-inch wheels (Emotion and Explore).  


Starting from the third equipment level, the Captur can now be specified with a fixed glass roof. Available exclusively in the vehicle’s two-tone configuration, this new feature provides an even brighter cabin.

More refined than before, the interior benefits from high-quality plastics, sleek chrome and elegantly subdued hues. The steering wheel is made from even more status-enhancing materials and, in higher-end versions, comes trimmed with full-grain leather. The gear lever boasts a more modern appearance, while the door panels have been revised to seamlessly incorporate buttons and controls. The LED ceiling light comprises individual reading lights.  In higher-end versions, the new seat design is more cosseting, offering additional lateral support and greater comfort. At the same time, the New Captur retains its most practical features, including its Easy Life glove box drawer and removable upholstery.

At the front, a bespoke grille with chrome details immediately sets the Captur INITIALE PARIS apart. Careful attention has also been paid to the front and rear skid plates which feature a more metallic grey finish. The same effect is visible around the windows and drip seals, which are picked out in gloss black. Meanwhile, like the grille, the chrome inserts on either side of the vehicle incorporate INITIALE PARIS branding. 


INITIALE PARIS versions enjoy a specific range of colours, including the new Améthyste Black launch option, as well as special 17-inch INITIALE wheels. The Captur INITIALE PARIS also benefits from sequential LED direction indicators, while INITIALE PARIS branding is visible on the lower door panels, door sills and front grille. The interior ambience of the New Captur INITIALE PARIS is just as exclusive, with heated Nappa leather seats, full-grain Nappa leather trimming for the steering wheel, chrome embellishments, a leather-trimmed dashboard, aluminium pedals and aluminium door sills. Finally, the Captur INITIALE PARIS comes as standard with all of the in-car technologies available as options for the New Captur, including Blind Spot Warning, Easy Park Assist, hands-free entry and keyless ignition. These features are complemented by a premium Bose® audio system and the very latest version of Renault’s R-LINK Evolution multimedia system which grants access to all of the car’s multimedia functions with a single click, as well as all relevant smartphone applications courtesy of Android Auto.
