Proving that it's still the master of car design, Renault has created the Captur urban crossover, which blend the practical characteristics of the old Modus MPV with sexy looks and raised ride height.
Renault has kept things simple on the engine front, with only a handful of units and outputs, but made things interesting with lots of interior color options and stickers for the roof. Today, the French carmaker celebrates the first milestone in terms of production, with the 100,000th unit made today at the factory in Valladolid, Spain.

This is a remarkable achievement for the French carmaker, since the Captur went on sale in April 2013, just eight months ago. It just goes to show how popular B-segment vehicles are at the moment, especially with good design.

We hear this ivory Captur with black roof is coming to Japan, being the very first customer-bought example in the country.

To celebrate the production milestone, all 2,500 of the Valladolid plant's employees got together for the send-off.

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.
