Renault wants to attack, definitively, the SUV market. The brand led by Luca de Meo, once it has already consolidated its electric car plan that will have its maximum and long-awaited components in the new R5 and R4, is now focusing a large part of its development on the launch of new SUVs with great commercial aspirations.
If in recent weeks we have already seen the launch of the new and very complete Austral and Espace, Renault will soon put on the market the new Scénic (which has also mutated into an SUV), an Austral Coupé and another model that we will talk about today: a new Captur long or Grand Captur, call it what you want for now because there is no official confirmation at this time about its final name.
Taking advantage of the great success that has marked the Renault Captur 2023 among utility SUVs, where for years it has been competing head-to-head for the leadership of the category with the Peugeot 2008, although in the last year, the Seat Arona has managed to overtake the two French models, this new SUV that they report today in France will complement their range as an independent model that will reach the market in the summer of 2024 and could be officially presented a little earlier, the same spring of this next year.
The current Renault Captur will be renewed and have a new, more familiar body.
The new SUV will be located between the Captur and Austral
Located then in the Renault range between the next new Captur and the Austral, this next Renault Grand Captur will technically derive from the utility SUV itself, although it will bet on its own independent design that sets it apart. Already developed under the DJB internal code, it will thus take advantage of the latest evolution of the CMF-B platform to create an even more complete model.
With measurements that will thus be located between the 4.23 meters of the Captur and the 4.51 meters of the Austral (points at 4.35 and 4.40 m), this new SUV is announced in France as a future real alternative to the traditional Mégane, which will definitively leave production throughout the same year 2024. And also indirectly of the Arkana, another SUV that already announces its disappearance from the catalogue in Europe for the year 2025, probably.
Front of the Scenic and hybrid versions of the new SUV
From Renault, as announced today in France, it is already confirmed that this new Grand Captur, or Long Captur, will not be a simple extended version of the Captur with the same aesthetics. Gilles Vidal, Head of Design for the brand, has been working for months on a new specific silhouette with different lines and a front that will be more similar to the one already seen in the concept that advances the new Scénic. The rear, on the other hand, will be reconfigured to optimize the space and load capacity of the trunk.
The new SUV will take the front already seen in the latest concept that anticipates the launch of the Renault Scénic.
