The Renault Captur is now available from RM117,200 on the road inclusive of GST but without insurance (Peninsular Malaysia price/Private registration). Renault franchise holder and distributor TC Euro Cars are making this good looking compact crossover more competitive in terms of pricing in the very tight mini SUV cum CrossOver cum premium junior hatchback cum small sedan sector.
The Captur was first unveiled in Europe in 2013 and since then it has sold over 500,000 units. It is also the best selling compact SUV over in Europe. I think this is because of its good looks. It looks chic from every angle. You wife, girlfriend, daughter or mistress would love one. Hmm, wife and mistress in the same sentence. Anywayyyyy......
This compact crossover is powered by a torquey yet frugal 1.2liter turbocharged petrol engine which sends its power to the front wheels via a 6 speed dual clutch transmission. It may be tiny but as I have driven one I can tell you folks that it is more than adequate for most situations that you will encounter on a daily basis. No, you are not going to buy a Captur for attacking the Sepang Circuit or to see who's the fastest going up and down Genting Highlands. If you intend to carry four up to Genting, it would easily be able to do so but not as fast or as grippy as a Clio RS (which actually shares the same platform). Petrol consumption is also good even though I wasn't gentle at all with the happy pedal. By the way folks, keep an eye out on this website if you are interested in the Renault Captur. I have tested one and a review on it should be up shortly (within a week or two).
Now there is a roadshow coming up from 9 March through 13 March 2016 over at 1 Utama Shopping Centre in Petaling Jaya. TC Euro Cars will be holding a roadshow at Lower Ground, Oval, 1 Utama Shopping Centre, Bandar Utama, Selangor to showcase the complete line-up of Renault Captur vehicles as well as other Renault models including the sporty and trendy Clio GT Line hot hatch and an EV section showcasing the Renault Twizy and Zoe electric cars.
Visitors to the roadshow will also get the chance to test drive the Captur and receive exclusive merchandise.
PRESS RELEASE
TC EURO CARS OFFERS NEW PRICE ON RENAULT CAPTUR CROSSOVER
Kuala Lumpur, 1 March 2016 – TC Euro Cars (TCEC), the sole franchise holder for Renault cars in Malaysia, today announced a new sales campaign on the Renault Captur urban crossover.
The chic, dynamic and fuel efficient Renault Captur is now available at price of RM117,200 (on-the-road inclusive of GST, without insurance, for Peninsular Malaysia and private registration).
“The response from Malaysian consumers towards the Captur has been increasingly encouraging. In light of this, this new special promotional price aims to further spur demand for this spirited and stylish crossover, which today is one of Renault’s most popular models globally,” said Kuan Kim Luen, CEO, TC Euro Cars Sdn Bhd.
Since its debut, the Captur has become one of Renault’s most in-demand models, with over 500,000[1] units sold globally. This increasingly successful compact urban crossover has also been the best-selling model in Europe’s small SUV segment since 2013.
Fashionable yet practical, the Renault Captur is compact on the outside, but spacious and versatile on the inside. These attributes, combined with its expressive styling, high driving position and substantial ground clearance, make the Captur particularly suited for today’s modern urban drivers who increasingly seek safe and efficient vehicles that can complement their active lifestyles.
The Renault Captur is powered by the new turbocharged TCe 120 engine that is mated to a 6-speed Efficient Dual Clutch (EDC) transmission, which not only delivers performance equivalent to a traditional 1.8L engine but also enables powerful acceleration from low revs. At the same time, this spirited crossover also offers best-in-class fuel efficiency of up to 5.4L/100km[2].
Inside, Renault has paid a lot of attention to detail. Refinements include attractive two-toned seat covers with stylish stitching that are also removable for easy washing, reversible boot floors with carpeting on one side and plastic on the other as well as the sliding and foldable bench seat, which splits 1/3-2/3 for increased boot space. These useful features deliver on the Captur’s claim as the ideal vehicle for the active and young-at-heart.
The Renault Captur is also the only crossover in the Malaysian market to offer four in-vogue two-toned exterior colouring that is not only trendy but offers a fresh look for drivers who want to make a statement with a vehicle that quirky and unique. Four colour combinations are available:
- Arizona Orange (body) / Diamond Black (roof)
- Pacific Blue (body) / Ivory (roof)
- Beige / Diamond Black (roof)
- Ivory (body) / Diamond Black (roof)
It also comes with a five-year unlimited mileage manufacturer’s warranty, which is fully-backed by Renault for enhanced ease of ownership as there are fewer complications with terms and conditions.
Full line-up at upcoming roadshow
From 9 March through 13 March, TCEC is holding a roadshow at Lower Ground, Oval, 1 Utama Shopping Centre, Bandar Utama, Selangor to showcase the complete line-up of Renault Captur vehicles.
In addition to the Captur zone, the roadshow will also feature three additional zones displaying other Renault models including the sporty and trendy Clio GT Line hot hatch, as well as an EV section showcasing the Renault Twizy and Zoe electric cars.
Visitors to the roadshow will also get the chance to test drive the Captur and receive exclusive merchandise.
“It is with great pleasure that we invite all Malaysian consumers to this roadshow to test drive the Renault Captur to get a taste of its capabilities and pragmatic pleasures and subsequently benefit from the promotional offer,” said Kuan.
