TCEC Introduces New Renault Captur 2018

TC Euro Cars (TCEC), the sole franchise holder of Renault vehicles in Malaysia, today launched the new Renault Captur, Europe’s best-selling crossover, which features a sportier, more assertive exterior with new bi-toned colours and an interior further refined for enhanced quality.

The new Renault Captur builds on the model’s original success, including its striking two-toned finish. In addition to the popular Flame Red (body) / Diamond Black (roof) colour option, the new Captur is now available in three new body colours: Atacama Orange, Ocean Blue and Pearl White body colours, all paired with a Diamond Black roof.

“With its trendy styling and chic new colours, powerful performance and excellent fuel efficiency, plus its continental quality and safety standards, we believe the new Captur will continue have great appeal, especially for those with active urban lifestyles,” said Kuan Kim Luen, CEO, TC Euro Cars Sdn Bhd.

Pricing for the new Renault Captur remains at RM109,000 (on-the-road inclusive of GST, without insurance, for Peninsular Malaysia and private registration), with an additional RM900 (excluding GST) for the Flame Red and Pearl White colour options, which includes kicking plates and a trunk tray. Locally assembled at the Tan Chong Group plant at Segambut (below), the new Captur is EEV certified and offers excellent fuel efficiency.

Powered by Renault’s turbocharged TCe 120 engine, the new Captur continues to deliver the performance and acceleration of a normally-aspirated 1.8L engine. Mated to a 6-speed Efficient Dual Clutch (EDC) transmission, the spirited crossover is capable of delivering maximum power of 120PS at 4,900rpm and peak torque of 190Nm from as low as 2,000rpm while maintaining exceptional fuel efficiency of up to 5.4L/100km.

 

In addition to the “5-in-Captur Aftersales Promise” (see below kit list) the refreshed Renault Captur also retains its extensive list of equipment and features (below), while “delivering on excellent driving dynamics, from road holding and agile handling to engine response and driver aids that have helped Captur become the global success that it is.”
