It is the top seller in its segment in Europe. The B-segment mini crossover or SUV is now certified as an EEV (Energy Efficient Vehicle) and locally-assembled, and more affordable at RM109,000.
Malaysia is the only country besides Renault’s Valladolid plant in Spain to produce the Captur, which cements the French brand’s commitment here.
Its high driving position combined with substantial ground clearance and large 17-inch wheels are ideal for the active and young-at-heart.
Refinements include attractive zippable seat covers with stylish stitching that are removable for easy washing, a reversible boot floor with carpeting on one side and plastic on the other as well as the sliding and foldable bench seat, which splits 60:40 for increased boot space.
The Captur has a small but powerful 1.2-litre turbocharged TCe 120 engine that is mated to a six-speed Efficient Dual Clutch (EDC) transmission. This spirited crossover also offers exceptional fuel efficiency of up to 5.4 litres per 100km.
The nice equipment list includes automatic headlights and rain sensors, MediaNav with 7-inch touchscreen, AUX, USB, Bluetooth, navigation and reverse camera, keyless entry and start, and an Eco mode for better fuel efficiency of up to 10 per cent. Leather seats are optional.
Safety features include four airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with traction control, and hill start assist.
Also, the Captur stands out with its trendy dual-tone colour exterior.
The Captur is offered in a new colour combination – a trendy two-toned Flame Red body with Diamond Black roof.
Other stylish two-toned colour options are: Arizona Orange (body) / Diamond Black (roof); Pacific Blue (body) / Ivory (roof); and Ivory (body) / Diamond Black (roof).
