It was a few days ago Renault Clio V received a long-awaited and well-deserved restyling in the middle of its career. Losange has aligned its small city car with the latest styling innovations. In particular Mégane E-Tech, Austral and Espace. After the station wagon, release the expensive crossover! It is the Renault Captur that will soon receive a stylistic update. Which should be very close to the Clio. In this form, it has been around since 2019, and in order to face the fierce competition in the segment, it is better not to wait to miss the boat. Clio restyling was presented before restyling 208, but for Captur it is 2008’s rival, which will have the honor of being the first to present its updated version. It will be May 8. Final preparations before the release of Captur “phase 2” begin to appear on the roads of Europe!

Plastic surgery

As it is a model very close to the Clio, the most important changes will affect the front panel. Talking about the new front end of the Clio, the Captur should look much more aggressive and bolder than before. The hook-shaped LED daytime running lights should be gone. Thus, the headlights will be simplified and will be able to get rectangular optics in the upper part. Daytime running lights will move to the side of the shield with shapes resembling parts of a rhombus, a “boomerang”. THE the new logo will take pride of place in the center of the grille, which will be more flared going down to the shield. As on Mégane or Clio, the latter will no longer be metal, but plastic. will split the front bumper in half to visually add more body to a small town.

Remove Alpine Spirit

Fodder should be made easier, p now transparent optical units that will reveal a new light signature. The shield will also change, with a new diffuser and the transfer of fog lights vertically, from the sides. On board, in addition to the new logo, we will find new driver’s instrument panelas well as updating the R Link infotainment system. Esprit Alpine trim will appearwith blue stitching, tricolor cockades and the famous ‘A’ logo here and there.

finally, on the side of the engine, drive around, nothing is visible. The Captur’s mechanical range is indeed always very up-to-date, particularly its versions hybrid and plug-in hybrid. The best we can hope for some progress in batteries and power consumption, for improved “zero emissions” autonomy. See you in a few weeks to see it in its final form!
