The Renault Captur is currently available in India
with a manual transmission. In early 2019, Renault will introduce a CVT option
for its flagship SUV in our market, as per a report from carandbike. The Renault Captur will get the Duster’s
CVT with the 6-speed manual mode option. Like in the Duster, Renault will offer
it only with the 1.5-litre H4K petrol engine. This naturally aspirated
four-cylinder unit delivers a modest 106 PS at 5,600 rpm and 142 Nm at 4,000
rpm. We expect a fuel economy rating of 14-14.5 km/l.
Renault Captur diesel buyers have no choice but a
6-speed manual transmission. Note that in the Renault Duster diesel, customers
get a 6-speed AMT option. After November 2017, its first month of sales, the Renault Captur recorded
its best performance with 518 units in July 2018. The Hyundai Creta, on the
other hand, is clocking 9,000 units a month consistently.
The Renault Captur is available in RXE, RXL, RXT and
Platine grades. Sparkle full-LED headlamps with floating indicators, Sapphire
LED DRLs, satin finish skid plates, 17-inch alloy wheels and chrome exhaust
pipe tip are the Renault Captur’s key exterior features. Inside, the premium
SUV offers leather upholstery, cruise control, rear cooling vents, 7-inch
Intelligent ULC 3.0 touchscreen infotainment system, Arkamys-tuned sound system
and more.
On the safety front, Renault offers ABS with EBD and
BA, dual airbags, ISOFIX child-seat mounts, rear wiper and washer and
speed-sensing auto door lock as standard. Automatic headlamps, LED front fog
lamps with or without cornering function, rear parking sensors, rear parking
camera, ESC, HSA, rain sensing wipers and side airbags are available.
The Renault Captur is available in RXE, RXL, RXT and
Platine grades. Prices start at INR 9,99,999 (ex-showroom Delhi).
