Mi-Captur, mi-Duster : voici le Kaptur

Par son look comme par son appellation, le nouveau Kaptur évoque indéniablement "notre" Captur. Pourtant, les apparences sont trompeuses : destiné à la Russie, ce nouveau SUV reprend les dessous du Duster de Dacia. 

Non, nous n'avons pas fait de faute de frappe : le modèle que vous avez sous les yeux se prénomme bien Kaptur, avec un "K". D'ailleurs, si la poupe et le faciès évoquent bien le Captur avec un "C", le profil de cette nouveauté conçue pour la Russie s'en distingue assez nettement. La longueur est ici portée de 4,12 m à 4,33 m, soit le format du Duster  de Dacia, à un petit centimètre près. L'empattement est, lui, carrément identique à celui du SUV roumain, puisqu'il atteint 2,67 m. Voilà qui n'a rien d'une coïncidence : au lieu de reprendre la plate-forme du Captur , ce Kaptur a en effet préféré emprunter les soubassements du Duster, qui est également vendu sous le logo Renault en Russie.

 

Un choix qui lui permettra de proposer une transmission intégrale, indispensable sur le marché russe auquel ce nouveau modèle est destiné. Avec sa garde au sol de 20 cm, sa suspension que le Losange définit comme "robuste" et son blocage de différentiel central, ce 4x4 au Losange devrait même pouvoir s'adonner au franchissement. En revanche, le volume de coffre se limiterait à 387 dm3, alors que le Captur annonce jusqu'à 455 dm3 sous tablette. Une différence sans doute liée en partie à la disparition de la banquette coulissante. Fabriqué en Russie, ce Kaptur ne sera de toute façon pas importé en France, mais ses feux de jour à diodes en forme de "C" et ses feux arrière à la signature lumineuse revue annoncent sans doute le restylage de son petit frère, prévu pour cette année.

The Renault KAPTUR: a new four-wheel drive crossover for Russia

March 30, 2016 | ID: 76570

 

IN BRIEF:

World premiere of the Renault KAPTUR, a new crossover designed to meet the needs of the Russian market. The model was presented in Moscow on Wednesday, March 30, 2016, by Laurens van den Acker, Vice President, Corporate Design, Groupe Renault, and Renault Russia’s Managing Director, Andrey Pankov.

The KAPTUR will play a part in driving Groupe Renault’s growth at a global level, including Russia.

The KAPTUR will be manufactured at Renault’s Moscow factory.

 

Renault extended its range today with the presentation in Moscow of the all-new Renault KAPTUR crossover which will be equipped with four-wheel drive transmission in Russia. The KAPTUR is one of the 10 new models that Groupe Renault’s President and CEO Carlos Ghosn announced for this year as Renault continues to expand outside of Europe, notably in Russia.

The launch of the KAPTUR in the popular, fast-growing SUV segment will help Renault to consolidate its foothold in the Russian and Eurasian Customs Union markets. The new model is the latest addition to Renault’s range in Russia where it rounds out the make’s crossover and SUV line-up alongside the Sandero Stepway, Duster and Koleos.

The specific needs of the Russian market were dialled into the new crossover from the very beginning of the design process. In addition to its name, which starts with an emphatic ‘K’, the KAPTUR’s dimensions are also specific, while its four-wheel drive transmission stands out as a major ally to cope with the country’s harsh climate.

  

RENAULT’S LATEST STYLING CUES

The KAPTUR’s design, which is based on Renault’s six-petal flower strategy which symbolises the human life cycle, marks a new milestone in the brand’s approach to styling in Russia and the CIS.

“To design Renault KAPTUR, we have mixed the best of Renault’s eye-catching design with a specific attention to Russian needs for off-road abilities, travelling comfort and versatility,” said Laurens van den Acker, Corporate Design, Vice President, Groupe Renault, at the model’s presentation in Moscow on March 30, 2016. “It is a genuine crossover, with a robust, expressive design.”

The front end features Renault’s new styling cues, including a bold Renault logo set against a gloss black background. The wide upper section of the distinctive grille features a new honeycomb mesh pattern, while the broad lower part of the bumper visually widens the car. The sculpted forms of the bonnet and door inserts are other bold crossover cues that express strength.

As at the front, a key feature at the rear is the C-shaped lighting signature of the 3D-effect LED taillights.

 

ROBUST AND STYLISH

The KAPTUR’s stance points to the reliability expected of a genuine all-terrain vehicle, including approach and departure angles of 20 and 31 degrees respectively, plus record ground clearance of 204mm (unladen).

The KAPTUR‘s specific dimensions are:

Length: 4,333mm

Width (not including door mirrors): 1,813mm

Height :1,613mm

Wheelbase: 2,674mm

Front track: 1,564mm

Rear track: 1,570mm

Turning cycle: 11m

The KAPTUR will appeal to motorists who lead busy life-styles, appreciate a modern atmosphere and value comfort. To heighten its appeal, Renault has also developed a unique set of customisation options for the car.

  

A MODERN, COMFORTABLE INTERIOR

In addition to its bold yet elegant exterior lines, the KAPTUR features a stylish, comfortably-appointed, occupant-friendly cabin that can be customised to obtain a unique interior ambience.

All occupants enjoy outstanding comfort, while the driver benefits from the highest driving position (708mm from the ground) in the KAPTUR’s segment. The rear bench seat comfortably accommodates three adults.

The KAPTUR’s boot volume is 387 litres and carrying capacity increases to 1,200 litres with the 60/40-split bench in the fully-folded position. Loading is facilitated thanks to a wide tailgate aperture (1,002mm) and additional boot lighting.

The KAPTUR comes with a modern equipment package for everyday use, including intuitive technologies such as keyless entry, ignition and locking for all versions. The KAPTUR is also available with the MEDIA NAV system which covers all the basic multimedia functions, complete with a seven-inch (18cm) touch screen display, a radio and Bluetooth® connectivity for audio streaming and hands-free use of mobile phones.

 

ADAPTED TO THE NEEDS OF THE RUSSIAN MARKET

The KAPTUR is an all-terrain 4x4 crossover engineered to cope with the conditions that can be encountered in Russia thanks to its high ground clearance (204mm), heavy duty suspension and reliable all-wheel drive transmission incorporating a locking centre differential. Other key features that make it ideal for the harsh wintry conditions that can be found in Russia and CIS countries are Renault’s Remote Engine Start system, heated front seats and a heated windscreen.

The KAPTUR, which will go on sale this summer, is manufactured at Renault’s Moscow plant. The assembly of the crossover in the Russian capital marks a further milestone in Renault’s dynamic product offensive in this market.

 

Mix tra Captur e Duster, è stata presentata la Kaptur (con la K) per la Russia, disponibbile anche 4x4...

Dicono che la versione EU prendera qualche dettaglio al restyling di meta carriera.

 

 

Interessante questo modello, preferibile a Captur o Duster...

Non ho afferrato bene... è Captur allungata giusto? Perchè mix con Duster? Sarà la base per la nuova Duster? In ogni caso non mi dispiace per niente, un pizzico più decisa nelle linee rispetto alla "nostra" Captur, bello anche il nuovo paraurti (con le "lacrime" separate dagli "occhi").

 

Non sarebbe male neanche da noi, con un listino a metà tra Captur e Kajar.

La base technica è quella del Duster attuale.

Con la Captur (con la C) condivide solo lo stile... Lunghezza, passo, meccanica sono di Duster.

Metà Captur, Metà Duster : ecco il Kaptur

 

Per stile e nome, il nuovo Kaptur richiama direttamente il nostro Captur. Ma le apparenze ingannano : destinato alla Russia, questo nuovo SUV riprende la tecnica del Dacia Duster.

No, non facciamo nessun errore : il modello si chiama Kaptur con la K. Il frontale e il posteriore richiamano bene il Captur, ma la vista laterale si distingue benissimo. La lunghezza passa da 4m12 a 4m33, 1cm di differenza con il Duster. Il passo è identico a quello del SUV rumeno. Non c’è nessuna coincidenza : piuttosto di riprendere la base tecnica del Captur, il Kaptur riprende quella del Duster, venduto in Russia con il logo Renault.

Questa scelta permette di avere una versione con la trasmissione integrale, indispensabile sul mercato russo. Con un altezza da terra di 20cm, una sospensione rinforzata questo 4X4 dovrebbe avere buone doti in fuoristrada. Il bagagliaio si limita a 387dm3 quando il nostro Captur arriva fino a 455. Motivo : i sedili posteriori non sono scorrevoli sul Kaptur. Fabbricato in Russia, il Kaptur on sarà venduto in EU, ma i DRL a LED a forma di C e le nuove luci posteriori annunciano senza dubbio il restyling del Captur, previsto quest’anno.

 

 

(scusate l'italiano)

la preferisco alla Captur che dilaga nelle nostre strade.

peraltro i gruppi ottici che vediamo qui (comprensivi di diurne a LED mantide-style) credo li vedremo su un facelift anche del modello Captur tradizionale

Letta anche la traduzione, grazie. Stilisticamente nulla da eccepire, un gran lavorone vista la base... il problema è proprio la base, speravo rinnovassero anche tecnicamente la Duster ma vista questa Kaptur ho idea che rimarrà così ancora un bel po'.

Normalmente nuovo Duster a fine anno...

Normalmente nuovo Duster a fine anno...

Meglio della Captur presente a volontà nelle Strade Italiane.

Vi dirò che non mi dispiace...nel nostro mercato non troverebbe grande senso a listino visto il divario di prezzo non molto elevato fra Captur e Kadjar...se ho capito bene dovrebbe essere basata sul pianale di quest'ultima vista la parentela di Duster e Qashqai?Sbaglio?

 

Piuttosto avrei dato una rinfrescata all'aspetto cheap di plancia e pannelli porta...
