Renault makes significant changes to the Captur range

Renault Introduces Captur Iconic Nav and adds more goodies to other trim lines

Renault’s probably best product so far, the Captur, is getting some additional goodies and upgrades from today on. The potential customers of the best looking model in the brand’s range, will have the option of buying a brand new special edition, as well as go for more exterior and interior styling options for the other trims.

The name of the new special edition of the Captur is Iconic Nav. If you wonder why we are featuring the gallery of the Wave Limited Edition, it is because Renault have sent us the same images, and basically we are speaking about the same car. However, the special edition won’t have a limited run in contrast to the… limited edition. So, here are the details.

The Iconic Nav has exclusive Arctic White pearlescent paint scheme contrasted by the Diamond Black color. The two-tone body color is further accentuated with blue roof and door mirror decals. Painted lower front and rear bumpers and 17-inch ‘Explore’ alloys with black inserts and blue Renault diamond centre cap, round out the exterior changes. By the way, the new wheels are complemented by the Mud and Snow tyres.

On the inside, the crossover is adorned by leather upholstery for the seats (at the front they are heated), which is contrasted by light blue stitching. The same detailing can be seen on the leather steering wheel. A new light blue tinted chrome interior touch pack comes in perfect harmony with the exterior theme, while the aluminium pedals and the matt black detailing give the sense of a sports-vehicle.

The special edition also gets brand’s Grip Xtend advanced traction control system, R-Link Evolution touchscreen infotainment and satellite navigation. The “electrochrome” rear view mirror is the last detail of the equipment.

Besides the changes in the range, Renault is making some modifications to the other trim levels. Precisely, there is an all-new powertrain offered from the Dynamique Nav level and above. Namely, the 1.2-litre TCe 120 unit with a six-speed manual. Speaking of this trim, the Dynamique Nav and Dynamique S Nav versions are getting new exterior color option: Flame Red metallic paint body colour with a Diamond Black roof. On the inside, this exterior theme is complemented by a red interior touch pack.

By the way, Captur is not a vehicle you should underestimate. Despite it’s unpopularity in the United States, the model was the best-selling compact crossover in Europe in 2015. Since its global launch in 2013, Renault has sold over 596,268 Capturs.

Renault says that the limited edition Captur Wave is stand-out sophistication, but is it so?

Renault Captur Wave Limited Edition front view When a brand like Renault releases a new model, people aren’t usually that impressed (like for instance when Lamborghini does this). However, the French brand has its strengths, and they mainly are hidden in their aim to deliver relatively well-built and looking cars to the middle-class society. We can say the same thing about their latest limited edition, called Captur Wave, because there is nothing that can surprise us here.

Renault try to market out the model with the claim that it is a “stand-out sophistication”, and that the Captur in general is a “hugely popular model, selling to the tune of more than 32,000 units in France” alone. And this is since the start of the year.

Where does Capture Wave stand in the entire picture? As a limited edition, the car has been built with the aim to be based on the core specifics of Captur and to add some extra spiciness to it. In other words, it features some cosmetic changes like the Pearlescent White body color, the contrasting black roof, the Chrome Frost interior trim and special upholstery with blue top-stitching. If you don’t like white cars, then there is other three bi-tone option (all combined with the black roof): Platinum Grey, Pacifique Blue and Marine Fumé Blue.

Renault Captur Wave Limited Edition interior

There is more to that. Those who will eventually buy these car will get 17-inch black Explore diamond-effect alloy wheels with blue hub centre caps, wave badging, blue roof decals and door mirrors, Platinum Grey front and rear skid plates, front and rear carpet mats with embroidered Captur badging and front door sill protection.

It is obvious that Renault is really trying, but… Well, another benefit here is the high-tech equipment, which is optional for this specific model. It is called Techno Pack and includes the R-Link Evolution Multimedia System, a rear parking camera and an electrochromic rear-view mirror (a.k.a rear-parking camera). At last, but not least, the Captur range also welcomes the addition of the TCe 120 engine connected to a six-speed manual gearbox.

If this has impressed you, then it is time to prepare at least € 21,100, which is the starting price of this limited edition.

Eibach Launches Enhanced Renault Captur

This Renault Captur was given some modification from the suspension specialists at Eibach. They were familiar that the modern SUVs have been created exclusively to city life and motorway travel.

Triggered by this, the tuners wanted to develop a new Pro-Lift-Kit Performance Lift Springs to open up new terrains for the owners of these vehicles. In the present case, the ride height of the Captur model was increased up to 30mm.

Nevertheless, the comfort and agility of the SUV was retained at a high level. Another advantage of the raised height is the better view of the traffic. In addition, the car also looks much more muscular, assertive and keeps staying fully in line with an SUV’s design.

Other models which can be equipped with the kit are Dacia Duster, Hyundai iX35, Hyundai Santa Fé, Kia Sorento and Kia Sportage. More models are to be included in the near future.
