Another 7-seater by Renault captured and rendered on a test

While the brand Renault lost its charm a couple of weeks ago, while the other makers like ford and Hyundai acquired much in the lime light with their latest offerings, however, the brand chased the same by offering a revamp of the successively running models, like Duster.The brand is in news yet another time, for a brand new revolutionary product, dubbed as the Renault Grand Captur. This is indeed a lengthier version of the Captur crossover that has been spied while on a test on the streets of Europe. The car is said to be designed especially keeping the emerging markets in mind, while we offer our take, based upon the spied images. Off the record débuted as the Grand Captur, the sole optical alteration seems to be the lengthier rear extension. Though modifications are deeper within the car.

An earlier report on the Economic Times this week reported about the Renault having stretched out the Duster’s platform to produce the Grand Captur, for making it cost effective all because of a localized platform. The car, being dubbed as the ‘Renault HHA,’ would be a seven-seater that would be competing with the currently running Mahindra XUV500 and the Tata Hexa from the year 2017. There is an interesting report on a Russian newspaper published earlier this week claimed that the car would step into the production during the coming year in our country, while a Brazilian report earlier in the month of July declared that the car is for their market. The Brazilian and Russian editions though did not state the extra seating. The crossover is most likely to use the engine line-up from the Renault Captur that comprises of an Energy TCe 90 and TCe 120 EDC as petrol variants and Energy dCi 90 and dCi 90 EDC as diesel versions. Gearing options comprise of a 5-speed manual or 6-speed EDC automatic. However if we talk about the Indian market, this engine could be given a miss, while introducing an AMT as the cost should be ideally low for the potential consumers here
