Renault Captur Design & Features

Using Renault's global design language, the Captur is conceived as a crossover and is positioned as a premium offering from the carmaker.

The Captur measures 4329mm in length, 1813mm in width and 1619mm in height. The Captur is slightly longer than the Duster while being slimmer and shorter. The wheelbase of the Captur measures 2673mm similar to the Duster, while the ground clearance stands at class-leading 210mm.
