Renault has just revealed the Captur, the very first crossover in the urban range of models, building on the success (and platform) of the new Clio.

The crossover is supposed to combine the best elements of three different vehicles: the style and capability of an SUV, the interior space of an MPV and the driving pleasure of a compact saloon.

The styling of the Captur crossover borrows from the homonymous concept that dictated Renault’s new styling direction two years ago.

The front end is especially impressive, with a gigantic diamond badge dominating the whole front end of the car. The side features the same sort of character lines as the Clio, with the lower door trim creating the impression of an arched back. The back is strikingly similar to that of the Clio Sport Tourer (the new one), but the cut of the rear quarter glass is much more dynamic.

Renault says the Captur is 4 meters and 12 centimeters long, in line with other B-segment crossovers of the day.

The engine range has not been revealed yet, but Renault says petrol and diesel engines will be available for the model, and will return best-in-class fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, starting from as low as 96g/km.

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.
