Renault dealers have opened the order book for the all-new second-generation Captur SUV with test drives available in March and customer deliveries in April.
It is the second Renault model to be built on the new CMF-B platform which offers improved interior space and more luggage capacity, as well advanced driver assistance systems.
Renault will offer three Captur variants to Australian buyers, the Life from $28,190, the Zen from $30,790 and the Intens from $35,790.
All three models are powered by the 1.3-litre TCe 155 petrol engine offering 113kW and 270Nm which is matched to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, with steering wheel mounted paddle shifters.
LED headlamps are standard across the range, which are surrounded by Renault’s trademark C-Shape daytime running light signature. These powerful units are seamlessly integrated into the design, with elements of the chrome grille running into the lamps on Intens.
The ‘Smart Cockpit’ layout features an infotainment screen angled towards the driver. Elsewhere the extensive use of high-grade materials, including satin finishes and soft touch plastics, plus even more supportive seats, give all-new Captur a truly premium feel says Renault
A 7-inch multimedia screen is standard on Life and Zen models, while Intens gets the 9.3-inch portrait set-up. Both give access to Renault’s Easy Link system that bundles together all the navigation, and infotainment.
On Intens versions, Multi-Sense functions are available for optimum usability on the move.
A 10.25-inch TFT instrument cluster is available as an option on the Intens as part of an Easy Life Package. Featuring a fully configurable display it allows the driver to customise the comprehensive array of information available.
The Renault Easy Link multimedia platform is compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Featuring an all- new smartphone-inspired interface with intuitive pinch and swipe functions it allows users to customise various screens to directly access their favourite functions.
The new Captur offers customisation with an interior Orange Signature Pack available that features orange highlights for the dashboard, doors and centre console and a specific orange and black cloth upholstery. On top of this is the availability of ambient lighting, which allows drivers to choose from eight different LED colours.
Driver assistance technologies include the option of adaptive cruise control with stop & go which, combined with the standard lane keep assist and traffic sign recognition systems, ensures the car remains in its lane and at the correct speed.
Standard safety features across the range include lane departure warning and lane keep assist, the former automatically primed at speeds above 70km/h, the latter working between 70km/h and 160km/h.
Traffic sign recognition with speed alert is also included, as is cruise control with a speed limiter function. An advanced emergency braking system is standard and is bolstered by the latest cyclist and pedestrian detection functionality. Blind sport warning and rear cross traffic alert is also available across the range.
A five-year unlimited km warranty and up to five-years capped price servicing and service-activated roadside assistance are available on the new three-model Captur range.
