Renault Captur 2017

Renault Captur 2017

latestcarhub   16:58

Renault recently confirmed launching Renault Captur crossover in India sometime this year. While the company already offers Duster in India, the Captur crossover will be slightly Premium and will be slotted above its smaller sibling in Renault’s line-up.

Keeping safety at fore, Renault will equip Captur with prominent bits including dual front airbags, electronic stability control, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX system and seat belt with Pretension. The India-bound model was recently crash tested by Latin NCAP where it scored an impressive 4-star rating. As for its launch, expect it to make official debut during the festive season.

Renault Captur Price

Variant             Expected Price                               

Base Model      Rs 12 Lake

Top Model         Rs 15 Lake

Renault Captur Mileage

Petrol    13-15kmpl

Diesel   19-20kmpl

Renault Captur Launch Date

The crossover was earlier rumored to launch in August, but resting all the speculations, Renault made an official announcement to launch the model sometime this year. While it made no hint around the exact launch time, we expect the crossover to break covers during the festive season this year that is sometime between October and November 2017.

Renault Captur Specification

Specifications	Petrol	Diesel
Engine	1.5-litre H4K	1.5-litre K9K
Power	104.5bhp	108bhp
Torque	142Nm	245Nm
Gearbox	5-speed MT, a 6-speed CVT	6-speed MT & AMT

The Russian-spec Captur comes in two engine options-1.6-litre and 2.0-litre, however, the India-bound model will share engines with Duster. To be available in petrol and diesel fuel options, the model will use the 1.5-litre petrol and 1.5-litre K9K oil burner from Duster. The 1.5-litre H4K petrol engine powering the Duster facelift is essentially a stripped-down version of the 1.6-litre unit which earlier powered Duster. In terms of power, the new 1.5-litre unit makes 104.5bhp at 5,600rpm against peak torque of 142Nm at 4,000rpm. This engine is expected to come with a five-speed manual gearbox that will transmit the power to the front wheels. In addition, there will be a 6-speed CVT step less transmission that could be optional. The 1.5-litre K9K oil burner on the other hand is available in two tunes on the Duster line-up including the 84bhp and 108bhp. We believe Renault will tweak both the engines to offer more power and as for the diesel unit, Captur could get the 108bhp version with 245Nm torque. Drive-train options will include an AWD system with locking differential and three driving modes-Lock, Auto and 2WD. Transmission duties on the diesel unit are likely to be carried over by the 6-speed manual unit and an AMT gearbox.
