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.

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.

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.
