Renault Captur Clio-Based Crossover Paten Images Leaked

Back in September, we showed you the first photos of a Clio-based crossover/SUV that was undergoing testing under heavy camouflage. Today, the car can be confirmed as being this, the Renault Captur, a name it shares with a cool concept car that gave us many of the new design cues of the French carmaker.

As you can see, the Captur is just a slightly raised version of the Clio IV, which means it’s not going to be that tricky to figure out the engine range. On the Clio, this currently consists of a base 1.2 75 PS unit, a new three-cylinder called the TCe 90, two 1.5-liter diesels with 75 and 90 PS respectively. Next year, a 1.2-liter turbo with 120 PS will also be introduced.

The Captur concept came with a twin-turbo Energy dCi 160 engine, which means there’s still a chance the 1.6 dCi 130 from the Megan will be used.

Obviously, all-wheel drive will be optional, just like the Nissan Juke or Opel Mokka. Transmission choices are likely to include a five-speed manual and the new six-speed EDC double clutch.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
