Change of the naming was explained by the difficulties of the correct pronunciation of the original 'Captur' name in the Russian language. The Captur GA was first introduced in Russia and the neighbouring CIS countries in 2016, badged as the Renault Kaptur. Compared to the B platform-based Captur, the Captur GA is cheaper to build as it is based on the first generation Dacia Duster platform instead of the fourth generation Clio while offering larger cabin space. This model is referred internally by Renault as the 'Captur Global Access' (Captur GA). Ī larger car with a similar styling as the original Captur but with a larger wheelbase and ground clearance is being produced by Renault to capture emerging markets. In some versions, it also adds removable seat covers with zippers, a new Renault satellite navigation system with touchscreen, reverse cameras and automated head lamps and windscreen wiper. As standard, it has parking sensors and voice activation for certain functions. In 2018, the Captur added the sportier S-edition. In December 2013, Renault added a top-of-the-range Signature trim and, in 2015, the Iconic. The Captur originally had four trim levels in the UK: Expression, Expression+, Dynamique Media Nav and Dynamique S Media Nav. The Captur has some new elements, such as a large drawer-like glovebox that is more easily reachable by the driver, instead of a conventional glove compartment in left hand drive models. Brakes are discs on front and drums on rear. The car suspension is made up of MacPherson struts on front and a twist-beam axle on rear. It has various customisation options for the interior and the exterior. It incorporates design lines from the homonymous concept, as part of Renault's renovated design strategy developed by Laurens van den Acker. The J87 Captur is based on the fourth generation Clio and rides on the B platform.
