Renault Kaptur 2.0 (143 Hp) 4x4 Automatic
Overall Rating
Renault Kaptur:
The Renault Captur is a series of subcompact crossover SUVs manufactured by the French automaker Renault. The production version of the first one, based on the B platform, made its debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show and started to be marketed in France during April 2013. The Captur Concept was first shown at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show.
Under the "same skin with different specification" strategy adopted by Renault, the Captur was made in a larger version based on the low-cost B0 platform shared with the Duster. It uses the similar styling with the first-generation Captur but with an extended wheelbase, greater ground clearance and all-wheel-drive drivetrain. Referred internally as the "Captur Global Access", the vehicle was produced in Russia, Brazil and India....(Read more on Wikipedia)
Kaptur Overview:
Renault Kaptur (Kaptur). With 195 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~11.7 l/100km). With a weight of 1415 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. All‑wheel drive provides excellent grip, ideal for off‑road use. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 11.2 s). The top speed reaches 180 km/h. A vehicle that combines characteristics of SUVs and hatchbacks for versatility. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Renault Kaptur itself was not directly tested by Euro NCAP. It is based on the Dacia Duster platform, which received a 3-star rating in 2017, indicating adequate but not class-leading safety.
