unless you count that flourescent pink Range Rover over there, this is one of the most
striking looking cars here at the Geneva Motor Show.
It's the Renault Capture and it's their new supermini-sized SUV.
It looks like a CLEO on steroids it's based on the Nissan Duke.
Now Renault hasn't been doing very well of late but you wouldn't know that from this
confident design language, there's a huge great diamond badge on the front here there's
a bit more ground clearance than the standard Clio of course, bigger wheels and obviously
Renault's learned the lesson of cars like the Mini and the Citroen DS3 there a huge
amount of customization options, including a different colored roof - you can see here
on this car.
We don't have any prices many technical details for the car yet
but we can see that inside it's got the R-link touchscreen media system that most of the
engine will be the same as the regular Cleo[sp?], which means you will be able to get the 0.9
liter 3-cylinder petrol or 1.5 liter diesel. which emit from just 96 g/km of CO2.
And that means free car tags.
Renault says fuel economy is going to
be the best in class so we'll find out if that's the case we'll test the Capture in
our lab very soon.
