More weight has been saved by using an aluminium bonnet and a composite bootlid.Īt its launch, the Captur will be offered with three petrol turbo engines and two diesels, all of which are new. Engine insulation is also said to have improved noticeably, despite the platform weighing 50kg less than its predecessor. It can facilitate modern safety and assistance systems and can house a broad range of powertrains, including those with substantial battery packs. The original Captur shared its underpinnings with the contemporary Clio and that is still the case here, although this 85%-new CMF-B platform is substantially more advanced than its predecessor.

#CAPTUR LIFE 2020 DRIVER#
This platform also ushers in a suite of driver assistance systems reserved until very recently for larger, more expensive cars, and its increased stiffness in theory paves the way for improved road manners. The car is substantially longer than before, too, with an enlarged interior that hints at the same uplift in comfort and opulence seen in the latest Renault Clio, with which the new Captur shares so much hardware. The Mk2 Captur is built on the Renault- Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance’s new supermini platform and has been engineered from the start to take hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains, although traditional options will persevere alongside those low-carbon options for the foreseeable future.
Renault has not simply refreshed this car’s aesthetic, though. Unlike the original, whose only true rival was the Juke, this one will enter a pool teeming with strong alternatives, including the new Ford Puma, Volkswagen T-Cross and Peugeot 2008. Which is why we now have the second-generation Captur.
As with the previous Captur, there’s no mention of all-wheel drive whatsoever.No, the reason this car can boast about that sort of sales statistic is because that sort of sales statistic is indicative of a rapidly and inexorably growing class, which the B-segment SUV – small crossovers, in other words – continues to be and in which the Captur’s mix of style and value made it particularly successful.
#CAPTUR LIFE 2020 MANUAL#
The lower powered version only gets a six-speed manual gearbox while the more powerful engine also offers the option of a seven-speed EDC. The former produces 95 PS (94 hp) and 240 Nm (177 lb-ft) of torque while the latter has 115 PS (113 hp) and 260 Nm (192 lb-ft) of torque. The 2020 Captur also offers the choice of two 1.5-liter diesels, the Blue dCi 95 and Blue dCi 115. The top gasoline engine is mated as standard to a seven-speed EDC dual-clutch transmission (available as an option on TCe 130). Petrol fans can choose between the TCe 100 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbocharged petrol making 100 PS (99 hp) and 160 Nm (118 lb-ft) of torque, TCe 130 1.3-liter turbo-four rated at 130 PS (128 hp) and 240 Nm (177 lb-ft) of torque, and the range-topping TCe 155 which is a higher powered version of the latter unit producing 155 PS (153 hp) and 270 Nm (199 lb-ft) of torque. Until the electrified power plant becomes available, customers will be able to choose from several three gasoline and two diesel engines. The system combines a 1.6-liter gasoline engine with two electric motors and a 9.8 kWh battery pack. Essentially the same powertrain as in the new Clio, the electrified powertrain enables the Captur to travel up to 28 miles (45 km) in pure electric mode, at speeds of up to 83 mph (135 km/h).
