Presented almost two years ago for Europe, the second generation Renault Captur has now touched down in Australia with deliveries kicking off this month. The subcompact crossover is on sale in three trim levels named the Life, Zen and Intens, with pricing starting at AU$ 28,190 (US$ 21,444), AU$ 30,790 (US$ 23,421) and AU$ 35,790 (US$ 27,225) respectively.
The entry-level Life comes with standard
front and rear parking sensors, reversing camera, dusk-sensing LED headlights,
heated side mirrors, 7-inch display and height-adjustable driver’s seat. It
also has an electric parking brake, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian
and cyclist detection, lane departure warning, lane keep assist and traffic
sign recognition.
Go for the mid-range 2021 Captur Zen and
you will enjoy features such power folding side mirrors, hands-free key card,
rain-sensing wipers, automatic climate control and wireless charging pad. This
version is offered with a two-tone exterior paint finish and extra safety gear,
including blind spot warning and rear cross traffic alert. Finally, the
top-of-the-line Intens brings leather upholstery, a 9.3-inch infotainment
system, 7-inch TFT driver display, sat-nav, Bose premium audio, LED ambient
lighting and auto-dimming rearview mirror. A 10.25-inch digital instrument
cluster is an option as part of the Easy Life Package.
Regardless of trim level, the second-gen
Captur is available solely with a 1.3-liter turbocharged petrol engine that
produces 155 PS and 270 Nm of torque and is
coupled to a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox with paddle shifters
mounted behind the steering wheel.
