Just when you thought that Renault had produced an urban SUV that ticked all the boxes, they go a improve on perfection. The all new 2017 Renault Captur is the perfect balance between the slick urban style of city cruiser and the rugged open-road toughness of a 4×4. The 2017 Captur has been tweaked to create a vehicle that is not only more refined, elegant and practical but with the new introduction of the entry level Captur Blaze, one that is more affordable too.
The new Captur has been subtly refined and polished to create an all new version of its predecessor, without losing any of the charm and personality that is instantly recognisable in this model. The attention to detail that has been implemented into the redesign of one of Renault’s most popular members of the SUV family elevated it to new heights among its peers.
Among the most notable and immediately identifiable changes on the Captur is the two tone body colour which, when coupled with the new touches of chrome on the body and all new 17″ chrome and black alloy wheels not only make this sporty SUV a real eye catcher in the parking lot, but also make it one of the most sophisticated big city cars around. But, the newly raised ground clearance means that this city slicker looks just as at home on a dirt road. The addition of front and back skid plates, along with the optional fixed glass roof just further reinforce just how versatile this SUV can be.
This inside cabin is also an oasis of comfort and space. The addition of finer details in this new Captur, including a leather steering wheel, elevated seating position, a central armrest with storage compartments (available on Dynamique models), an integrated touchscreen tablet and a fully adjustable loading space all show that when it comes to the Captur, the designers and engineers at Renault have taken every detail into account and have spared no thought when it comes to providing an SUV that is going to stop traffic with its looks, is sublimely comfortable, a pleasure to drive and one that is practical on the open road and without losing any sense of its sophistication.
But the new changes in the design of the Renault Captur go way beyond the cosmetic. Other enhanced features include:
- Hill start assist
- Rear parking sensors
- Headlights and windscreen wipers that come on automatically
- Steering wheel finger controls
- Bluetooth
- Keyless entry
- Speed limiting cruise control.
With a five star Euro NCAP rating, the Captur comes standard with the usual safety features associated with Renault’s exemplary safety record such as ABS and EBA brake technology, along with electronic stability programming. but there is also an additional range of features that make the Captur the first choice when it comes to carrying your family:
- Airbags
- Pre-tension and force limiting seatbelts
- ISOFIX three-point child seat anchor
- Anti-whiplash headrests
- Front passenger and rear side seat attachments.
Available in a selection of five different models, the all new range of Renault Capturs looks set to take a hold of the hearts and minds of the South African SUV market. Legendary comfort, superior safety, the most up to date technology and the stylish and sophisticated redesign are the winning combination that looks set to Captur the imagination of SUV drivers everywhere.
