We first saw this with the Renault Clio RS 200 EDC, and it’s essentially a dry-clutch dual-clutch type automatic transmission. The transmission in question is Renault’s EDC – or efficient dual clutch – unit. This is even something that’s present at more expensive market segments as customers value features and functionality over an outright all-wheel drive system. The power figure is comparable to a 1.5 or 1.6-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine, but with much better drivability thanks to the turbocharged nature.Īlso something that hasn’t changed is the fact that the Renault Captur only delivers its power to the front wheels, though it isn’t alone in this as pretty much every rival and product in this class does the same.
That 190 Nm is available from just 2,000 rpm, meaning that it’s easy to overtake and get off the line quickly from a stop. Looking beyond displacement, these compact engines have the added benefit of making a lot of torque from low engine speeds. This form of powertrain has its advantages, as Malaysians have learned over the years. This is one of the first mass market Renault models in Malaysia to feature a downsized turbocharged engine instead of a larger naturally aspirated package. It packs a compact turbocharged 1.2-litre petrol engine, pushing 118 hp and 190 Nm of torque. Historically there has been a singular powertrain on offer for the Renault Captur, and this continues until today for the Malaysian market. At this point, however, only pre-registered units are available for sale as towards the end of 2020, the second-generation Renault Captur was brought forth in Europe being a rather significant upgrade. Over the years, the move from fully imported to locally assembled was made, and the trim levels were adjusted as was the equipment list. The Renault Captur is a compact crossover SUV, and it has been offered locally with a singular powertrain and in a few different trim levels. At one point they were down to pretty much their Renault Sport models – performance hot hatchbacks that proved surprisingly popular and served a burgeoning enthusiast market, but ultimately not translating to sales of their more pedestrian models.īut come 2015, Renault decided to develop and produce something that would come at just the right time: the Captur. As a brand in Malaysia, Renault has had a bit of an up and down over the years.
