Inovev forecasts 250,000 new Renault Captur per year
- Renault unveiled the new generation of its B-segment SUV, the Captur. This model remains the SUV variant of the Renault Clio, as at Peugeot the 2008 remains the SUV variant of the 208. The previous generation of the Renault Captur was built in 2013 and more than 1.2 million units were produced, mainly in Spain, at the Valladolid site.
- The Captur initially replaced the Renault Modus, which was a B-segment MPV. Renault thus launched one of the first B-segment SUVs, which have since multiplied among all automakers.
- The new Renault Captur follows the general line of the old one but it is getting bigger: +11cm in length (4.23m) and + 2cm in width (1.80m). Like the new Clio, the new Capturis built on the CMF-B modular platform from the Renault-Nissan group. Like the Clio, it will not have a 100% electric motor (unlike the 2008 Peugeot).
- The new Renault Captur, which will continue to be produced at the Valladolid site in Spain, has the same engines as the Clio, namely the 1.0 l and 1.3 l petrol engines with 100 hp, 130 hp or 155 hp, as well as the 1.5 l diesel engines with 95 hp or 115 hp. But while the Clio has a non-rechargeable 1.6 petrol hybrid engine, the Captur has the same engine but in a rechargeable (Plug-In) version.
- The new Captur will be competing against the 2008 Peugeot, Citroën C3 Aircross, Opel Crossland, Opel Mokka, Ford Puma, Fiat 500X, VW T-Cross, VW T-Roc, Seat Arona, Skoda Kamiq, Jeep Renegade, Hyundai Kona, Kia Stonic, and Nissan Juke whose replacement is imminent. Inovev forecasts 250,000 units per year of the new Renault Captur.
