Cruising in Renault’s funky Captur Sunset limited edition
The arrival of Renault’s fun and funky Captur Sunset Limited Edition Dynamique spearheads the introduction of a 1.5 dCi 66kW Turbo Diesel engine option to the range.
“From the outset, when first assembling the Captur range, it was always our plan to have a diesel derivative in the line-up and the introduction of the diesel-powered Renault Captur1.5 to the current petrol-only product line-up is in direct response to the growing demand for a diesel derivative in this segment,” says Jeff Allison, product manager at Renault SA.
“We believe that now is the right time to introduce this derivative into a market that understands better than ever before, the importance of the longer-term savings that ultra-fuel efficient engines bring. And what better way to deliver this message than by introducing the bold and very beautiful Renault Captur Sunset Limited Edition Dynamique.”
The diesel-powered Dynamique is the perfect complement to its three petrol-powered siblings in the range: the Dynamique EDC featuring Renault’s new generation 1.2 litre 88kW EDC Turbo power plant, the Dynamique 66kW Turbo and Expression 66kW Turbo.
An easy-to-drive, multi-functional and -faceted crossover that strikes the ideal balance between design and practicality, Renault Captur’s popularity and performance has resulted in the vehicle consistently maintaining second place in South Africa’s popular and highly contested B-segment small utility vehicle (SUV) crossover category. Launched in May 2015, sales to date exceed 4 500 units.
TOP-SELLING ENGINE
The 1.5dCi turbo diesel is Renault’s most-sold engine worldwide. It boasts significantly reduced fuel consumption and CO² emission levels of up to 35% and is also the power plant behind Renault’s very popular Duster 1.5dCi Dynamique SUV introduced to the SA market in September 2013.
The 1.5 dCi powering Renault Captur’s latest offering underscores these engineering skills and coupled with a manual 5-speed gearbox, this power plant affords unparalleled driving pleasure thanks to its extreme responsiveness in all conditions. Its turbo architecture has a specific and innovative design that simplifies air admission for a higher output.
The high-tech surface treatment of its engine components, Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating on pistons skirts for example, improves engine reliability, reduces friction and results in improved fuel efficiency.
POWERFUL PERFORMANCE
The 1.5 dCi turbo diesel engine delivers maximum output of 66kW @ 4 000 rpm and peak torque of 220Nm @ 1 750 r/min. At 3.6 litres/100 km in the combined cycle, fuel efficiency is phenomenal while at 95gm/km, CO² emissions are eco-friendly. Renault Captur 1.5dCi drivers are able to travel greater distances secure in the knowledge that impact on the environment is greatly reduced.
While the beautifully practical Renault Captur crossover has the attributes of a standard passenger car, it embodies so much more. Combining the personality of a SUV and the spaciousness of an MPV with the dynamism of a hatch, Captur has proven itself to be ultimate all-in-one compact crossover package.
And now with just alimited number of the trendy and exclusive Captur Sunset models available, who can resist?
