Renault Captur is selling like hot cakes here and elsewhere in Europe. It is, of course, the most desirable crossover in the segment and the fifth best-selling Renault. It mainly won over middle-aged women who have a Captur as the second vehicle in their household. Active retirees with adult children who have already left the home nest also like it. It is popular because of its higher seating position, and with its renewed and fresh look, it will definitely appeal to younger generations as well.
Changes in Captur they do not stand out at first glance, as it is more than outside renovated inside. The changes to the front part include the recognizable signature of the headlights v C-shaped and recognizable chrome mask with the Renault logo. He has a rear now new bumper with a chrome strip and LED lights in 3D technology, where it is also possible to see the light signature in the shape of the letter C. Captur also with this refreshed generation places special emphasis on the personalization of the car. The exterior has just 30 different color combinations with a chance two-tone bodies. For the pickiest, three new colors have been added, making the choice of color even more difficult.
This time's novelty is the presentation of the equipment Initiale Paris in Captur. These are the most equipped cars that offer everything that Renault currently has. It has a special amethyst black color, a chrome grille and a leather-wrapped interior. It has active LED headlights and special rims in diamond shape, and with a little imagination you can even see an image in them of the Eiffel Tower.
When renovating the interior, they listened to previous comments and eliminated. The materials are better quality and more pleasant by touch. They have seats improved lateral grip, and special attention was paid to the drawer on the dashboard, which now does not rattle or cause so-called crickets. The interior can also be individualized, there is also a two-tone combination, but otherwise there is nothing at your disposal 6 different interior packs. To make the Captur as useful as possible, you can think of a central armrest with a drawer, a roof rack or even a bike carrier for an additional fee.
