Renault is rolling out a lightly updated Captur in a bid to keep sales numbers up high in Europe: with 215,670 units sold in 2016, it is currently the EU's most popular mini crossover (beating models such as the Nissan Juke and Vauxhall Mokka X). With updates such as optional full-LED headlights and a fancy fixed glass roof, Renault hopes it will lure in even more buyers into its showrooms.

To spice things up, the 2017 Captur facelift also welcomes fresh paints dubbed 'Atacama Orange' and 'Ocean Blue', as well as a new roof colour called 'Platinum Grey'. In total, there are more than 30 different combinations available to personalise the compact crossover on the outside, while the interior cabin is available with six customisation options. Furthermore, buyers can select from a multitude of colour packs for both the exterior and the interior.

Renault’s designers have made some subtle changes to the front grille by giving it a chrome strip to make it look more like its bigger brother, the Kadjar. In addition, both front and rear bumpers now pack C-shaped LED daytime running lights and come with reworked skid plates for a dash of ruggedness. Depending on trim level, the Captur can ride on a choice of 16- or 17-inch alloy wheels.

Renault has not made any changes underneath the bonnet, so the 2017 Captur will solider on with the usual 0.9- and 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engines and the thrifty 1.5-litre diesel.

The lightly tweaked Renault Captur will bow at the Geneva Motor Show on Tuesday, where an 'EV surprise' is going to be introduced as well. These two will sit alongside the Euro-spec Koleos midsize SUV and the Alaskan pickup truck, while the company’s new Alpine division will bring the lovely A110. As for the low-cost Dacia brand, it will also be there with the rugged Logan MCV Stepway.

New Captur, with extra allure

  • The top-selling urban crossover has gained even more allure with its C-Shape light signature, new body colors and glass roof
  • Find out more about the new interior, redesigned for enhanced quality, and a new version of Captur at the Geneva Motor Show

New Captur will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show on March 7. With an upgraded design, inside and out, and the arrival of new equipment, the top-selling B-segment crossover in Europe (215,670 units in 2016) fully intends to retain its leadership.


Even more personalization possibilities

Captur keeps the essentials responsible for its success, including its two-tone body. Personalization possibilities have been extended with two new body colors, Atacama Orange and Ocean Blue, and a new roof color, Platinum Gray. Motorists can choose from over 30 different combinations to create their very own Captur.

Captur steps up the differentiation game with six interior personalization packs including a variety of colors – Ivory, Ocean Blue, Caramel, Red, Satin Chrome and Patina Chrome – and five exterior packs: Ivory, Ocean Blue, Cappuccino, Red, and Atacama Orange (for the wheel bolts and door panel strips).


Brand-identity light signature

As with the Brand’s latest models, New Captur is equipped with full LED “Pure Vision” headlights (depending on the version). This technology sharpens the car’s looks and improves safety while providing greater efficiency.

LED daytime running lights are built into the lower bumper in a C shape, forming the brand’s light signature. The rear lights feature the same signature, visible day and night.


More emphatic crossover design

Captur has been redesigned to strengthen kinship with its big brother, Kadjar. The grille has been upgraded to more closely resemble that of Renault’s other crossovers, notably with a chrome strip. Front and rear, the bumper includes new skid plates underscoring Captur’s adventuresome personality.

Four wheel types are available for the first three trim levels: two 16-inch, Extreme and Adventure, and two 17-inch, Emotion and Explore.


Fixed glass roof

From the third trim level up, Captur can be fitted with a fixed glass roof. Available only in two-tone configuration, the new feature improves ambient light in the cabin.
