Renault introduces top-of-the-range Captur Signature

Renault has introduced a new top trim level to its popular Captur compact-crossover  Captur Signature.

Order books have now opened for this high specification model builds on the Dynamique S MediaNav version and adds numerous extras, including some exclusive ones, as standard.

The uprated model features 17-inch alloy wheels with black inserts and chrome exterior details on the side strips, boot lid, front grille and fog lights to set the Signature trim level apart. A two-tone exterior finish is standard whilst a distinctive optional Flame Red metallic paint is available. A choice of three other metallic and two solid colours is also available.

Inside, Captur Signature receives upgrades in the form of part-leather upholstery, Signature door sill plates and mats and the Red Touch Pack  adding bright red detail to the centre console, speakers and air vents.

A rear parking camera combines with the rear parking sensors to make parking effortless. The Grip Xtend advanced traction control system provides maximum grip on the road in difficult driving conditions through the use of a simple thumbwheel on the centre console.

Captur Signature retains the comprehensive specification from the rest of the range with equipment such as electric folding door mirrors, automatic climate control, rear parking sensors, tinted rear windows and tailgate, Bluetooth connectivity and LED daytime running lights.

Captur Signature is available with a choice of two petrol and diesel engines. The petrol line-up consists of a 0.9-litre TCe 90, mated to a five-speed manual transmission, and a 1.2-litre TCe 120, which comes with a six-speed, dual-clutch automatic gearbox.
