Renault has begun testing the second generation of
its Captur crossover, with Carscoops spies able to spot a high-riding test mule which
uses the body of the current Clio Estate.
Test mules are usually not that good-looking as they
usually range from plain awkward to just straight ugly. This one, looks
rather awesome, with the combination of the compact wagon body, big wheels and
longer suspension travel gaining easily our approval.
The new generation will be based on a new platform
that currently hides under the bodywork of the Clio Estate we see in the spy
shots, allowing the company to test a lot of hardware before moving on and
testing the new Captur with its production body on.
Power will come by the familiar range of petrol and diesel
units, with the company also working on an electrified “Hybrid Assist” version
as well. The new Renault Captur is expected to debut at the
2019 Geneva Motor Show, so expect to learn more about it in the coming months.
