Renault Captur revealed

The small crossover segment is starting to get very crowded, with more and more manufacturers launching products to compete in it. For example, just a few days ago the Peugeot 2008 was unveiled, and now Renault has revealed its Captur urban crossover.

Based on the same platform as the new Clio and measuring 4.12 metres (13’ 6”) in length, Renault is describing it as compact, user-friendly and non-aggressive.

A striking design that makes good use of a two-tone paint finish arguably makes the Captur the best-looking vehicle in its class. The imaginative approach continues inside too, with a cabin that features a modular layout and plenty of storage.

Technical specifications, equipment levels and pricing are all expected to be confirmed nearer to the Captur’s public debut, which will be at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
