Renault India has revealed the Renault Captur and its specifications. Interested buyers can now pre-order their Captur for an amount of INR 25,000.
Built on the Renault Duster’s B0/Logan platform, the Indian-spec Renault Captur is 4,329 mm long, 1,813 mm wide and 1,619 mm tall. Its wheelbase and ground clearance are the same as the Duster’s - 2,673 mm and 210 mm respectively. The Captur has 392 litres of boot space, expandable to 1,352 litres.
The Renault Captur has two engine options: 1.5-litre H4K petrol and 1.5-litre K9K diesel. The four-cylinder petrol engine produces 106 PS at 5,600 rpm and 142 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. The four-cylinder diesel engine develops 110 PS at 4,000 rpm and 240 Nm of torque at 1,750 rpm. The petrol engine sends drive via a 5-speed manual transmission, while in the diesel model, there’s a 6-speed manual transmission. AMT, AT or CVT option isn’t available.
The Russian-spec Renault Kaptur is available with the LED Pure Vision full-LED headlamps. The Indian-spec Renault Captur features ‘Sparkle’ full-LED headlamps, but does have the ‘LED Pure Vision’ branding on them. Other exterior highlights include dynamic turn signals (front), Sapphire LED DRLs, satin finish skid plates, 17-inch Crystal Cut alloy wheels, Ripple tail lamps and dual-tone body colour.
Inside, the Renault Captur features LED ambient lighting, automatic climate control with surround illumination, rear air vents, 6-way adjustable ErgoDesign white leather seats, golden accents on the air vents and centre console, Infinity instrument Cluster and 7-inch ULC 3.0 infotainment system with navigation.

In addition to the features above, Renault India has confirmed availability of two personalisation packs: Diamond Deck and Urban Connect, as well as a number of aesthetic and utility add-ons. The latter includes chrome embellishments, smart lighting enhancements, illuminated scuff plates, different interior finishes, roof decal options, designer mats and more.
