Ten years after its debut, the Renault Captur reinvents itself for the 2024 model year, aiming to solidify its position as a leader in the B-segment of urban SUVs.
A Legacy of Success
The Captur’s track record speaks for itself. Launched in 2013, it has racked up over 2 million sales in 90 countries, earning its reputation as “the car to live in” for the B-segment. This success stems from its versatility, offering a compact exterior (measuring 4.23 meters) with a surprisingly spacious and adaptable interior.
New Renault Captur 2024: A Bold New Look
The 2024 Captur embraces Renault’s fresh design language spearheaded by Gilles Vidal. This new direction emphasizes sharp lines, meticulous details, and a strategic use of light and materials to create a more dynamic and visually rewarding experience.
The most striking change lies in the assertive front fascia. A bold new grille takes center stage, flanked by expressive lighting elements. The full-LED vertical daytime running lights add a touch of modern flair, while subtle updates to the rear complete the refreshed aesthetic.
Elegance Meets Sportiness with the Esprit Alpine
For those seeking a touch of sporty elegance, the new Esprit Alpine trim offers a unique interior and exterior treatment. The cabin is adorned with new upholstery and redesigned dashboard screens, creating a more sophisticated ambience.
Technology at Your Fingertips
The New Captur prioritizes in-car technology. Depending on the chosen variant, the OpenR Link multimedia system with integrated Google takes center stage. Powered by Android Automotive 12, it boasts a user-friendly interface and access to the vast Google ecosystem, ensuring you stay connected and entertained on the go.
Powertrain Options: A Focus on Efficiency
Renault remains tight-lipped about the full range of available engines depending on the region. However, for the French market, the powertrain options appear to remain largely unchanged.
- The E-TECH 145: This full-hybrid powertrain remains a compelling choice for eco-conscious drivers, offering a balance of performance and efficiency.
- The TCe 100 LPG: This gasoline/LPG dual-fuel variant caters to those seeking lower running costs without sacrificing practicality.
- The TCe 90: This gasoline engine provides a budget-friendly option for those prioritizing affordability.
- The 1.3 TCe 160: For those seeking more power, the 1.3-liter turbocharged gasoline engine provides a sportier driving experience.
Notably, the 2024 Captur continues to forego a diesel option in the French market, reflecting the industry’s growing shift towards electrification and cleaner technologies.
The Evolving Captur: A Strong Contender
The 2024 Renault Captur represents a significant evolution for this popular urban SUV. With its bolder design, advanced technology features, and focus on efficiency, the Captur is poised to remain a strong contender in the B-segment for years to come. Whether you prioritize practicality, eco-friendliness, or a touch of sporty flair, the New Captur offers a compelling package for a variety of drivers.
