Kaptur
Kaptur refers to a compact sport utility vehicle (SUV) produced by Renault, primarily sold in emerging markets. It is generally understood to be a different vehicle than the Renault Captur sold in Europe, though they share a similar name and design language.
The Renault Kaptur, first launched in Russia in 2016, is based on the Dacia/Renault B0 platform (also known as the Global Access platform). This platform is known for its durability and affordability, making it suitable for markets with less developed infrastructure. The European Renault Captur, in contrast, is based on a more modern and sophisticated platform.
The Kaptur features different dimensions and specifications compared to its European counterpart. Specifically, the Kaptur is generally larger, offering more interior space and ground clearance. It typically comes with a range of gasoline and diesel engine options tailored to the specific markets it is sold in.
The Kaptur is marketed as a robust and practical SUV, designed to handle varied road conditions. Its target audience often includes families and individuals seeking a reliable vehicle for both urban and rural environments. It is known for its distinctive exterior styling, which incorporates Renault's design cues, and its availability in a range of trim levels and customization options.
The Renault Kaptur is sold in countries including Russia, India, and parts of South America. Market variations exist in terms of features, engine options, and overall specifications, reflecting the specific needs and preferences of each region.
