Refined Sensibility

A blend of style, performance and substance. Meet Renault’s latest.

Everybody knows the kind of storm the Duster created in the Indian market when it was launched. Not only did it make Renault a household name here but also, it took more Indians beyond the scope of usual tarmac and into the realm of off roading. It was just that capable a vehicle.

Cut to a couple of years later and Renault has decided to make even better use of the Duster platform. Use that has a lot more leaning towards the stylistic side of things. Enter the Captur. The French carmaker’s latest is attractive and turns heads wherever you go. From among the jungle of run-of-the mill hatchbacks and SUVs on our roads, this unique crossover really stands out.

As much as you’ll admire the car from the outside, things are pretty special on the inside too. Renault has given the Captur a nicely designed and comfortable cabin, replete with all the goodies you’d want from a car in this class. The dash has a nice, two-tone theme, the materials used are of good quality, there’s touches of faux aluminium, colour inserts in places and the contrast stitching spruces things up as well.
