Will go on sale in Brazil this December.

Autos Segredos has photographed the Brazil-spec Renault Captur (Kaptur) inside and out, revealing a dual-tone white and black dashboard. The model, currently exclusive to Russia, today comes with an all-black dashboard.

The Brazil-spec Captur features a dual-tone white and black dashboard, while the model sold currently in Russia is only available with an all-black dashboard.

Most of the styling and switchgear in the Duster-based Renault Kaptur look similar to the Clio-based Euro-spec Renault Captur. However, the Renault Kaptur features a slightly different steering wheel, and MEDIA NAV infotainment system in place of the Euro-spec Renault Captur’s R-Link infotainment system.

In Brazil, the Captur will be powered by a 1.6-litre flex-fuel engine that produces 114 cv (114 hp) and 15.5 kgf.m (152.00 Nm) of torque, although there's no option of AWD. Other South American markets will pack a bigger 2.0-litre engine linked to a 4-speed automatic transmission, while the Brazilian Captur will get this engine later, but with a CVT.
