#RENAULT CAPTUR 1.2 AUTOMATIC PLUS#
On the center of the dashboard, you will find the MediaNav 7-inch touchscreen head unit with navigation and comes with four speakers plus two tweeters. Controls for the multimedia head unit is on a stalk hidden behind the steering wheel, which I incidentally stumbled upon when my knee knocked on it. Buttons for the cruise control and speed limiter settings can be found on the steering.
The bottom half is glossy plastic, which is a fingerprint magnet. The steering wheel is leather wrapped, the top half of it. It is on the tip end of the right stalk from the steering column, where controls of the wipers are. However, I had to look up the handbook to find the buttons to scroll through the information display. The gear selection and huge speedo reading constantly reminds me not to go over the speed limit, while other useful information can be found above it. The Captur’s dashboard gets its design from the Clio, but the dual barrels that look like sad eyes in the Clio has morphed into a fat butterfly on the Captur. The car rides on a set of dual tone 17-inch black diamond-cut wheels wrapped in 205/55 R17 rubbers, it actually looks quite nice if you ask me. Subtle application of chrome detailing on different parts of the car adds a touch of class to it, while the black plastic cladding gives it a more rugged look. Free-flowing lines add curves to the car, which in turn bulks up its appearance.
The Captur may be mistaken as the Clio at first glance as it sports the distinctive front end and the large vertical diamond that is part of the Renault’s design language. Question is, does it have what it takes? To find out, we took the Captur out for a spin, and here’s what we think of it. With a proven winner in hand, TC Euro Cars have decided to bring in the contender and take the fight to its Japanese rivals. The Renault Captur has achieved similar success in European markets, being the best selling compact crossover in a segment that has grown 30 percent in the first quarter of 2016.
