Overview of the car Renault Capture

The official presentation of the car Renault Capture took place during the exhibition in Geneva in 2013. In fact, the novelty is a small, budgetary version of an ordinary crossover. In literal translation, the name of the model means "capture". According to representatives of the manufacturer, creating this car, they planned to win the hearts of car enthusiasts, not only with an extravagant appearance and modular interior, but also with high practicality.

general description

The novelty is based on a platform that was used in the fourth generation of the Clio model. Appearance was developed by a design bureau, headed by Lawrence van den Aker. The main goal, which was pursued by designers, was to create an inexpensive and high-quality car. With this, and its incredible compactness is connected, which first of all catches your eye at the first glance at it. Whatever it was, this feature does not in the least prevent it from looking dynamic and impressive. The model is assembled at the company's plant in the Spanish city of Valladolid.

Exterior

The serial version of the Renault Capture is somewhat different from the conceptual version presented in Switzerland. The front headlights seem to be connected to each other by means of an unusual radiator grille. Below it is a small, and at the same time, very elegant bumper with an air intake and relatively large "fog lights". In order to visually increase the car, as well as improve aerodynamics, the designers have installed bulky stamps on each side. Due to the protruding wheel arches in the exterior of the model, features of an off-road vehicle appeared. Depending on the equipment, the car is fitted with 16 or 17 inch alloy wheels. The body is painted at the same time in two colors, so the car stands out clearly in the city traffic. Extra proof of the compactness of the Renault Capture, in addition to numerous reviews of experts and owners, is its length, which is only 4120 mm. The ride height is 200 mm.

Interior

Speaking about the interior of the car, first of all, it is necessary to emphasize that the salon is very similar to the Clio model. Here you should note elegant holes for ventilation, not the worst quality of finishing materials, ergonomic steering wheel, display and modern multimedia system. The presence of climate and cruise control, airbags, as well as some assistant systems is provided only in the maximum configuration of Renault Capture. Reviews of the owners of the car show that thanks to the modular principle, characteristic for its interior, here without special problems can accommodate five passengers. For the sake of justice, it should be noted that if necessary, the rear seats are pulled back by 160 mm, thereby freeing passengers more space at the expense of the capacity of the trunk.

Main characteristics

In connection with the fact that the predecessor of the car was the Clio model, there is nothing surprising in that both the line of power plants for both cars is similar. In particular, both petrol and diesel engines are available for Renault Capture . Their volume is in the range from 0.9 to 1.2 liters. As for the power of the units, the petrol variants are capable of developing from 74 to 90 horsepower, and "diesel engines" - from 75 to 90 "horses". Given the compactness and relatively small weight of the machine, such indicators can be called worthy. With regard to fuel consumption, its indicator in the mixed cycle averages 3.6 to 5.4 liters, depending on the power unit used.

The result

On completion, it is necessary to note the fact that one of the most successful recent cars in terms of price combination (in our country it starts from the mark of 700 thousand rubles) and the quality became the model of Renault Capture. Characteristics of the machine can hardly be called outstanding. Whatever it was, she can not remain indifferent to many car enthusiasts due to her originality and athleticism. Moreover, a fairly high ground clearance can be called an extra proof of good off-road qualities, and the original two-tone color favorably distinguishes the car against the background of others in the city stream.
