NEW RENAULT CAPTUR AVAILABLE WITH NEW POWERTRAIN

The 1.5-litre dCi 90 EDC is compact, light, smooth and flexible, and has been optimised for the day-to-day conditions experienced by compact crossover owners, thanks to the use of a dual dry clutch combined with electric actuators. The transmission provides reassuringly smooth, yet fast gear changes, responding instantly to driver demands. The EDC transmission is also available with the TCe 120 engine in the Captur range.

As with the rest of the New Captur range that was introduced in May of this year, the cabin is more refined, benefitting from higher grade plastics, sleek chrome and elegantly subdued colours. The steering wheel also benefits from higher grade 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.
