Renault might borrow the interior elements from the Captur to keep the costs down. Renault's new crossover SUV is unlikely to hit the Indian shores anytime soon as the Captur crossover has not been a hit in the Indian market. But with the utility vehicle segment booming, Renault might give a thought about introducing the new SUV in the country.
