http://whi.ch/renaultcaptur?utm_campaign=video_cars&utm_medium=video&utm_source=youtube_channel&utm_content=renaultcaptur&utm_term=description This is a new kind of car for Renault. It's based on the Clio, but has chunkier styling, extra ground clearance and more interior space.
The Captur (pronounced 'Capture') taps into the trend for supermini-sized SUVs -- a market defined by the bug-eyed Nissan Juke, which defied expectations to become a huge sales hit.
Renault has also drawn inspiration from Mini, offering a wide range of 'personalisation' options -- from bonnet stripes to air vent sleeves. Despite appearances, though, the Captur isn't available with four-wheel drive.
The engine line-up at launch comprises 90bhp 0.9-litre petrol, 120bhp 1.2 petrol and 90bhp 1.5 diesel. The more powerful petrol engine comes with a twin-clutch automatic gearbox, which is optional on the diesel from summer 2013.
Captur prices start from £12,495 for the entry-level 0.9 petrol, up to £18,895 for a fully-loaded diesel auto.
