upholstery fabrics and graphic motifs, Captur will appeal to a particularly broad spectrum of tastes and desires. The creative freedom enjoyed by Renault's designers shines through in the features and generous interior space expected of this type of vehicle. Though compact (it is only fractionally longer than New Clio), Renault Captur is particularly roomy. The sliding rear bench seat provides the ideal balance of space for passengers and their luggage, with a maximum carrying capacity of 455dm3 (up to the baggage cover). In the passenger compartment, two ingenious innovations underline Captur's character as a truly user-friendly vehicle: a large drawer-type glove box, which is easy for the driver to reach and holds 11 litres, and the availability of removable seat covers which can be unzipped, machine washed at home and refitted. Meanwhile, the in-dash Renault R-Link multimedia tablet provides access to a whole new level of connectivity, with an ever-expanding library of dedicated motoring applications. The raised driving position is both comfortable and confidence-inspiring, as are the cars passive safety features, road holding and braking performance. The credit for Captur's ride comfort goes to the B platform, which it shares with New Clio. Driving pleasure and fuel economy are the common denominators of Captur's 100% turbo engine line-up. Available petrol engines include the Energy TCe 90 (three cylinders and just 898cc) and the TCe 120 EDC (four cylinders, 1,198cc). The latter is available exclusively with EDC transmission (Efficient Dual Clutch) which delivers outstanding driving comfort. When it comes to diesel power, the Energy dCi 90 uses only 3.6 litres/100km and emits just 95g of CO2 per km*, which are record low figures for Capturs class. This model will also become available with EDC transmission at a later date. Renault Captur is built at the Valladolid plant in Spain, where particularly close attention has been paid to product quality and environmental impact. Up to 16% of the plastics used in Captur's production are sourced from recycling an outstanding achievement, even if not visibly apparent. Renault Captur, which is due to go on sale from April 2013, will bring a splash of welcome colour and glamour to the B segment, but without losing sight of the need to deliver common-sense practicality at the same time.
Captur is a distillation of Renaults constantly inventive approach to the small car segment. The Captur project inspired a fast-spreading passion within the project teams, and it is this enthusiasm that Renault wants to bring to the market thanks to its new crossover Ali Kassa Programme Vice-President A/B Range Renault

PASSIONATE, PRACTICAL AND INNOVATIVE
Ingenious and practical innovations are core values of Renaults stylish new crossover, which brings welcome fresh thinking to the B segment. Inspired by the concept car whose name and spirit it takes forward, Renault Captur is a proud standard-bearer for Renaults new design identity.
Renault Captur encapsulates all the thinking behind the concept car that it was my pleasure to present as the expression of the 'Explore' theme in Renault's life-cycle design strategy. As the brand's first urban crossover, Captur combines all the advantages of an MPV, an SUV and a family hatchback. Its balanced, fluid lines impart a friendly muscular energy to its bodywork, while its expressive style and everyday practicality provide an open invitation to discover the world either two-up, or with the whole family on board. Laurens van den Acker, Senior Vice-President, Corporate Design
Captur now takes forward the name, style and many of the features of its namesake: - Distinctive frontal design structured around the prominent, vertically-positioned Renault logo which is set against a gloss black background. - Curvaceous styling expresses movement and lightness, with very few hard edges. - Muscular contours to the sides and wheel arches. - Large wheels and substantial wheel housings signal robustness and a sporty pedigree. - Capturs roof graphics carry over the design of the concept cars roof. - An aircraft wing theme to the form of the dashboard. - Elasticated mesh pockets on the front seat-backs conjure up the worlds of sailing or climbing and recall the technique employed for the seats and boot lining of the concept car. - Mood lighting for the Easy Life drawer. - A dedicated, warm Arizona Orange finish, which was selected as the launch colour for the production vehicle.

RENAULT CAPTUR: A CROSSOVER THAT IS GENUINELY PRACTICAL FOR EVERYDAY USE
Renault Captur brings together the best of three worlds, namely the MPV, SUV and family hatchback. It also embodies one of Renault's greatest ambitions: to make innovation an affordable reality for all. Renault Captur brings to the crossover numerous features that help to take the strain out of everyday life, including a sliding rear bench seat, a multi-position boot floor and a multimedia portfolio that includes Media Nav and Renault R-Link. Two-tone paintwork, the Easy Life drawer-type glove box and Zip Collection removable seat covers complete the list of innovative features.
Renault Captur is a compact, unaggressive crossover which is genuinely practical. In true Renault fashion: it is a real crossover for real lives... Benot Bochard, A- and B-Segment Programme Director
THE BEST OF THE SUV, MPV AND HATCHBACK WORLDS, BLENDED BY RENAULT
Renault Captur blends three key ingredients, as only Renault knows how: the character and ruggedness of an SUV, the interior space and practicality of an MPV, and the dynamics and driving refinement of a family hatchback.
SUV features: - A wheelbase of 2.60m and track of 1.51m ensure an exceptionally surefooted stance for Capturs segment. - The large-diameter wheels (16- or 17-inch rims, 660mm diameter tyres) and substantial ground clearance (200mm) open the doors to adventure. - Lower body side protective strips and bumper design.
MPV features: - A reassuringly high-up driving position (10cm higher than New Clio). - Large boot of a capacity between 377dm3 and 455dm3 (with rear bench seat in its forward-most position). - Family-sized cabin: the distance from the accelerator pedal to the rear seatback is 1,730mm, while knee room for rear passengers is a comfortable 215mm (75mm more than New Clio). - The 60/40-split sliding rear bench seat comfortably seats up to three adults and can be folded to form a flat floor. - Three-point Isofix child seat anchorage for the front passenger seat and two outboard rear seats, with three homologated seat belt positions for very young children, attached with standard seat belts. - Ample lidded stowage totalling 27 litres. - Comfortable suspension. Family hatchback features: - Chassis settings fine-tuned to take into account Capturs centre of gravity which is slightly higher than that of a hatchback. Roll stiffness has been distributed precisely between front and rear in order to ensure a balanced ride and minimal body roll. The dampers have been calibrated to deliver responsive dynamic handling, safety and comfort. - The electric, variable-rate power steering is direct (2.7 turns of the wheel lock to lock) and as pleasant to use in and about town as it is precise on country roads. - The turning circle of 10.8m between kerbs ensures good manoeuvrability in built-up areas. - Although high-up, the driving position is that of a car. SMART IDEAS TO SIMPLIFY EVERYDAY USE Renault Captur introduces two innovations that are unique in the market and which will be particularly appreciated in day-to-day use: - Patented Zip Collection removable, zipped seat covers (depending on version). - A large Easy Life drawer instead of the traditional glove box (not available with right hand drive). On a more general level, Renault Captur is designed to make these useful and pleasing features accessible to a broader audience in the B segment.
User-friendly features: Easy Life drawer: the first glove box that is easy to reach from the drivers seat. It holds 11 litres and can accommodate such familiar items as a laptop computer, camera or handbag. The Easy Life drawer is an inventive storage solution that is more attractive and more practical than a conventional glove box. The large boot is uncluttered in shape and holds up to between 377dm3 and 455dm3. The removable, multiposition boot floor is reversible, with both carpeted and washable surface coverings. Two large stowage spaces are provided underneath the boot mat either side of the tyre inflation kit.
The sliding rear seat has fore-and-aft travel of 160mm and provides up to 215mm of knee room for rear passengers. A removable 1.6 litre stowage bin is located between the front seats. A large lidded stowage area is located at the top of the dashboard. The front door bins can accommodate drinks bottles of up to 1.5 litres.
Easy to maintain The Zip Collection seat covers are easy to unfasten and can be machine washed at home. There's no longer any need to struggle inside the car to get rid of stains, so the interior can now be as good as new when you come to re-sell. The rubberised side of the reversible, multi-position boot floor is easy to sponge clean, while the boot walls and front seat shrouding will cope easily with dirty loads.
Thoughtful touches Keyless entry and starting are standard across the range, while a hands-free key card is available for the second equipment level and upwards. The height-adjustable driver's seat has 70mm of travel so that drivers of all builds can find a seating position that suits them. The steering wheel can be adjusted for both height (by 60mm) and reach (50mm). There is even indirect ambient lighting, via light guides, above the drawer-type glove box (from the second equipment level). Motorway lane change function: a flick of the indicator stalk produces three flashes. Capturs third equipment level features additional corner lighting: the appropriate fog light is automatically activated to widen the area illuminated and to give the driver a broader field of vision through corners (under 40 km/h). Rear parking sensors (audible signal) and a reversing camera are available as part of the MEDIA NAV or RLink packs (either standard or optional, depending on equipment level). Finally, Hill Start Assist eliminates the risk of accidentally rolling backward when starting.
LAVISHLY EQUIPPED
Avec sa gnreuse dotation de srie, Renault Captur Thanks to their generous complement of standard features, all versions of Renault Captur include equipment normally associated with higher segments: sliding rear seat with 160mm of travel, drawer-type glove box, reversible boot floor, card for keyless locking and starting, variable-rate power steering, electrically-adjustable heated door mirrors, electric front and rear windows, height- and reachadjustable steering wheel, Hill Start Assist (HSA), ABS, emergency brake assist, Bluetooth connectivity for audio devices and telephones, USB port and jack socket, cruise control with speed limiter, motorway mode indicators.

THE MOST FUEL-EFFICENT CAR IN ITS CLASS
Renault Captur figures among the very best in its class when it comes to low fuel consumption and emissions. Renault's new crossover is available with the most economical engines (in road use), in addition to its carefully-honed aerodynamics and low weight (equivalent to that of Clio III). The fuel efficiency of its engines is the direct fruit of Renault's F1 expertise. Finally, the significant proportion of recycled plastics is further evidence of Renault's minimising its impact on the environment. 3.6 L / 100KM*: BEST-IN-CLASS FUEL ECONOMY COMBINED WITH GENUINE DRIVING PLEASURE
Thanks to its Energy range of engines, Captur is the embodiment of driving enjoyment and dynamic performance. It delivers crisp, responsive acceleration right across the rev range, yet it still tops its class when it comes to low fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. - Turbo power across the range: all the engines in the Renault Captur line-up are turbocharged, downsized and of the very latest generation. They provide outstanding torque at low revs. - All the automatic versions use EDC transmission: Efficient Dual Clutch (EDC) transmission is available from launch for the TCe 120 engine and will later become available mated to the dCi 90 powerplant. EDC automatic transmission combines smooth gear changes, responsive performance and low fuel consumption. - Stop&Start across the Energy engine range: all Energy engines feature deceleration and braking energy recovery.
LATEST-GENERATION ENGINES
Petrol engines* - Energy TCe 90 (0.9 litres): 90hp - 4.9 litres/100km 113g of CO2/km - TCe 120 EDC (1,2 litres): 120hp - 5.4 litres/100km 125g of CO2/km Diesel engines* - Energy dCi 90 (1.5 litres): 90hp / 3.6 litres/100km / 95g of CO2/km - dCi 90 EDC (available in the second half of 2013)
* Fuel consumption and emissions homologated in accordance with the appropriate legislation
11
EXCLUSIVE: CAPTUR POISED TO BE FIRST TO FEATURE EDC TRANSMISSION WITH THE dCi 90 DIESEL ENGINE For the first time*, the dCi 90 diesel engine will soon be available with EDC dual clutch transmission. The combination is particularly satisfying in action, with a targeted combined-cycle fuel consumption of just 4.1 litres/100km (subject to homologation). It is also a choice that suits the versatile nature of Renault Captur down to the ground. In town, the ample torque available at low revs and the smoothness of the gear changes make for effortless motoring. Meanwhile, the sixspeed transmission and powerful engine ensure responsive acceleration and refined enjoyment, notably in terms of acoustic comfort.
- Reduced friction: the Renault Energy TCe 90 makes use of low-friction materials employed in F1, such as DLC (Diamond-Like Coating) for its cam followers and PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) for the piston rings. - Reliability: in F1, Renault has proved the strength of its engines by claiming the last three Constructors world titles with Red Bull Racing (2010, 2011 and 2012). Just like the powerplants seen in F1, all the Renault engines available for Renault Captur are powerful, strong and fuel efficient.

ROCK SOLID ON THE BASICS INCLUDING SAFETY
As a crossover designed by Renault, Captur refuses to compromise when it comes to active and passive safety. This insistence on safety covers the entire range and goes hand in hand with another area of Renault expertise: comfort. The settings chosen for Renault Captur have been carefully finetuned to match the models specific characteristics and notably cover the softness of the suspension and steering response. Meanwhile, in typical Renault fashion, running costs are kept well in check. TOP-LEVEL SAFETY FROM THE ENTRYLEVEL VERSION
Renault Captur features the same fundamental systems as New Clio in order to deliver the very best active and passive safety performance. - Adult safety: reinforced structure, high-performance frontal airbags, head/thorax side airbags, pressure sensors in front doors for rapid detection of side impacts, seat belts with pre-tensioners and load limiters (front seats), anti-whiplash head rests, load limiters for outboard rear seats, anti-submarining function for front seats. - Child safety: three-point Isofix child seat anchorage for the front passenger seat and two outboard rear seats, with three homologated seat belt positions for young children attached with standard seat belts. - Pedestrian safety: Renault Captur was carefully designed to minimise pedestrian impact injuries, particularly to the legs, hips and head. - The Roll Movement Intervention system is triggered in extreme situations or whenever the angle of body roll becomes excessive.. - Hill Start Assist prevents the vehicle from rolling back by temporarily holding the vehicle stationary when the parking brake is released.
SUPERLATIVE HANDLING
The handling of Renault Captur benefits from Renault's expertise and exacting approach. Thanks to its dynamic road holding performance and best-in-segment ride comfort, drivers will immediately feel confident. The uprated front and rear suspension systems are derived from those of New Clio Estate and adapted to the larger wheels: - Front suspension: a MacPherson-type arrangement with rectangular lower arm and dual isolating mountings for outstanding road holding and ride comfort (longitudinal and lateral forces decoupled). - Rear suspension: programmed deflection torsion beam and coil springs. The beam and anti-roll bar are calibrated to optimise roll control. - ABS, emergency brake assist, latest-generation seven-sensor ESC and Roll Movement Intervention are standard features.
Specific chassis settings have been developed for Captur in order to guarantee a high level of comfort and dynamic performance. Suppleness and progressiveness are probably the two qualities that best describe Capturs comfort and handling. Jol Billault, Analytical Test Engineer (Ride and Handling)

DESIRABLE STYLING, BACKED UP BY HIGH QUALITY
Designed in France at the Renault Technocentre, in Guyancourt, and manufactured in Valladolid, Spain, Renault Captur will be marketed in more than fifty countries (including, at a later date, South Korea with Renault Samsung Motors badging). Renaults new crossover acknowledges that an ambitious design calls for high standards of quality. Bringing two-tone paint finishes to the volume market was one of the most notable manufacturing challenges raised by the programme. SOPHISTICATED DESIGN AND STANDARDS APPEAL THROUGH ITS HIGH MANUFACTURING
Captur embodies a new kind of appeal thanks to its powerful, seductive exterior lines which carry over the spirit of New Clio, along with the originality of two-tone paintwork which Renault brings to a broader B-segment audience for the first time. Capturs desirability is further heightened by the freshness of the bright colours selected for the interior and by its removable seat covers. As a hallmark of Renaults new line-up, this sophisticated appeal calls for exacting quality at every stage of the design, development and manufacturing processes. Following the example of New Clio, Capturs design is an ambassador of the image of Renault itself, and that needed to be reflected in the production standards met at the Valladolid factory. This challenge was converted into an opportunity to break new ground in terms of visible quality.
VISIBLE QUALITY
At the Valladolid plant, the focus of attention for the Captur programme was the improvement of fit and finish.
Thanks to its powerful exterior design and dramatic two-tone paintwork, Renault Captur oozes instant appeal. And for the charm to work, quality had to be right up to scratch. Herv Gaulm - A and B Segment Quality Engineer
16
The focus was also on paintwork quality, including the use of a new primer-free paint technology for the first time at Renault. Captur features an HD (high durability) clear-coat finish, first introduced on New Clio, which gives improved lustre and transparency, plus greater resistance to scratching. A new paintshop process known as 3WET provides not only a valuable saving in time but also a reduction in emissions, residues and energy consumption: - Le process est ainsi simplifi par la suppression de The process is simplified by the elimination of the preparation stage. A water-borne base coat is applied directly onto the cataphoresised surface. - The process involves a new operation masking which is an essential step in producing two-tone paint finishes. An existing paintshop was converted into a fast and effective masking line, allowing the plant to respond to the anticipated high demand for two-tone paintwork.
Two-tone paintwork is attractive, but also rare. It means two trips through the paint booth, which is a costly process. For Captur, the idea of a two-tone colour scheme was born from the combination of Valladolid's paintshop capabilities and the first sketches produced by the designers who imagined Captur as a two-tone car. Why not?, I said, and everyone latched on to the idea. Valladolid excelled in turning this idea into reality. The accuracy of the solution can be seen in the zones where the two colours meet: no drop of paint is out of place. I believe this detail speaks volumes for Captur's build quality. Christophe Pjout Captur Project Manager.
