The French brand Renault is popular all over the world. Owners appreciate the reliability and driving performance of the representatives of its model range, as well as the original design, made in the French manner. Crossovers stand apart among the company's cars, and we want to introduce you to cars of this form factor today. We present to your attention a rating that contains new crossovers from Renault 2018-2019.
No. 5 - Renault Sandero
Price: 650,000 rubles 
Renault Sandero, which was honored to open our list, after restyling began to create the impression of an even more presentable and elegant car, and this is noticeable even from the photographs of the novelty. Most of the changes have occurred in the area of the front bumper - now it has a trapezoid-shaped air intake, and next to it there are large LED fog lights. The interior of Renault Sandero will appeal to all lovers of minimalism and practicality. There is not a single superfluous detail, but there are also no premium elements.
The car is equipped with three options for units and all of them are gasoline. The first - with a volume of 1.2 liters and a power of 75 hp, the second - a 1.6-liter engine with 82 hp. in the arsenal, the final version of the engine is a 1.6-liter engine with 102 horses. Each of them is paired with a 5-speed manual. On the road, the car behaves quite confidently, I especially want to praise Renault Sandero for its responsiveness and smoothness of movement.
No. 4 - Renault Captur
Price: 900,000 rubles 
Renault Captur has a masculine and strict design, which is one of the main reasons for the car's popularity. After restyling, the appearance became even more attractive, but there were no fundamental changes in the concept. Harmony reigns inside the cabin - the front panel is made in accordance with modern trends in ergonomics and has a clear and practical architecture, as an option, you can order a leather interior.
The technical component of the Renault Captur is represented by either a 1.2-liter gasoline engine with 116 horses in stock, or a 1.5-liter diesel engine with 90 hp. The first unit has a speed limit of 119 mph, the second 106 mph. Both options are ideal for urban environments. The owner of Renault Captur will feel confident on the road, and any long trip will turn into a real journey, from which only positive memories will remain.
No. 3 - Renault Koleos
Price: 1,800,000 rubles 
Renault Koleos, as a representative of the business class, after its latest update, began to look even more solid and presentable. The main changes affected the front of the car - a chrome-plated radiator grille appeared there, the design of the optics changed, fog lights were updated. The interior of Renault Koleos also did not remain unchanged - the instrument panel has a rather unusual appearance, and in the center of it is a touch screen that acts as a multimedia system. Genuine leather and soft plastic are ubiquitous as finishing materials, but in the cheapest configuration, fabric replaces the first component.
The first engine that Renault Koleos can be equipped with is a 2-liter gasoline unit with 144 hp. in the arsenal. Its speed limit is 187 km/h. The second option found in the top configuration is a gasoline engine with 171 hp, it can also be represented by a third engine - a diesel unit with 177 horses. With the tasks that arise before the urban crossover, any of the three options immaculately copes. The choice is a matter of taste, but every owner can be sure that no matter which engine he chooses, he will get a comfortable and reliable car that can brighten up any trip.
No. 2 - Renault Kadjar
Price: 1,500,000 rubles 
Looking at the appearance of the Renault Kadjar, the Nissan Qashqai immediately comes to mind, which is the main competitor of the French SUV. Despite the common platform, the machines have a huge number of differences. Although their design is similar, Renault Kadjar has smoother and neater lines, sometimes with excess. In general, the car looks good and quite modern. In the cabin, the cars also have a lot in common, this is especially evident when looking at the front panel in detail - the concept of its architecture resembles the Kashkaevskaya one, but it could not do without French innovations. So, Renault Kadjar offers its owner a completely different shape of deflectors, a new dashboard and a modern multimedia system.
In Russia, the car is unlikely to appear, but in Europe it will have a motor base identical to that used in the Nissan Qashqai. This means that one of the four variants of the unit will be located under the hood of the Kadjar. The first two are gasoline with a volume of 1.2 and 1.6 liters, respectively, their power is 115 and 160 horses. The second are diesel engines, the power of the first 1.5-liter is 110 horses, the second is 130 hp. at 1.6 liters of volume.
No. 1 - Renault Duster
Price: 820,000 rubles
It’s not worth introducing the Duster, this is one of the most popular SUVs not only in the arsenal of the French concern, but in the entire market in general, which is why its victory in our 2018-2019 Renault crossover rating will surprise few people. The already masculine Renault Duster has become even more muscular and brutal. This decision will appeal to more than half of the fans of the car. There are few changes in the cabin - most of them fell on the front panel, which is now represented by a modern steering wheel and a new multimedia system. This is successfully complemented by high-quality and reliable finishing materials.
Renault Duster is equipped with two petrol engines. The first has a capacity of 115 hp. with a volume of 1.6 liters, the second is a turbocharged 1.2-liter with 125 horses in the arsenal. Also, there are two diesel units - 1.5 dCi with 90 hp. and 1.5 dCi with 110 hp There are three gearboxes - 5 and 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic. Any engine guarantees the owner responsiveness and smoothness of movement on the road, as well as a high-quality suspension that can easily cope with the difficulties encountered in the way of domestic drivers.
If you are thinking about buying a Renault crossover, then two criteria are important for you in purchasing a new car - quality and cost. Renault's compact SUVs and city crossovers are now selling at a good price, and their reliability has aligned with European requirements and has become much higher in recent years. The company continues to develop, and also has its own production in Russia, which significantly reduces the cost of equipment for buyers in our country.
Renault Corporation gets a certain return on its investment. Among the important points of the company's development is the Russian market, which is supported even in the most difficult times. Therefore, when buying a Renault crossover, you are also investing in your own country, since the current capacities of the concern can be equated to a domestic manufacturer. Moreover, recently there has been a clear prospect of cooperation between Russian brands and a French corporation.
Renault Kaptur - a novelty in the compact transport market
The brand new and stylish Renault crossover named Kaptur will become one of the competitors in the smallest class of passable vehicles. This representative of the model line is entering the market in the near future and already today surprises potential buyers with its unusual photos. Information about the new car is limited to the following data:
- in terms of dimensions, Kaptur is only slightly larger than the Sandero Stepway;
- engines in Europe start with petrol 0.9 liters for 90 horses;
- there is also a 1.2-liter unit with 120 horsepower and a 1.5-liter diesel engine with 110 horses;
- compact design does not exclude high ground clearance and considerable wheels.
Comfort will be provided by new suspensions integrated on the proven Clio platform. This Renault crossover will definitely not be the last in the sales ranking, but so far the start date for its implementation is unknown. As for the price, Kaptur is still difficult to assess for Russia. Most likely, the price tag will start from 800-850 thousand rubles.
Renault Duster - a classic in a simple design
Quite high-quality and reliable Duster received an update and changed a bit. The new style suits the Duster perfectly, but buyers were expecting more global changes. In the cabin, only cosmetic additions are noticeable, the biggest reformation on the body is the change of the rear lights. Today, the Duster is selling well in Europe as well as in South America, the car has received a financial boost.
This means that in a couple of years we can expect a completely new and fresher Renault crossover to replace the budget old man. In the meantime, you have to be content with the version of a compact SUV at a price of 550,000 rubles with good content and good implementation.
Renault Kadjar - another novelty from the French
Noticing the real prospects for the crossover market, the French company cooperated with one of the most successful manufacturers of this class - Nissan. And so Kadjar appeared, which exactly repeats the technical appearance of the Nissan Qashqai. This Renault crossover received a slightly different look, became less predatory, and smoothed out the rough lines of the Japanese. The important features of the machine are as follows:
- the proposal for motors is likely to be copied from the Japanese;
- the technical part in the form of suspension and base is completely identical with Qashqai;
- outwardly, Kadjar differs from his brother in the concern, he has become softer;
- the salon also received several purely French features.
Otherwise, not much is known about the car yet. It is worth emphasizing that the Renault crossover will be sold in all markets of the corporation, regardless of the distribution of Nissan. This means that in Russia the new car will primarily compete with its brother on the assembly line, produced in England at the Nissan plant.
Renault Koleos - a large crossover for a comfortable ride
Until sales of Koleos grow, the car remains a mysterious proposition for the Russian buyer. However, the project cannot be called unsuccessful. In some countries, even within the CIS, the company exceeds the plan for sales of large SUVs. The Renault crossover is quite well made and has a number of advantages.
Practical workmanship and classic design make the car the choice of the middle age. Buyers will be pleased with high comfort and a fairly comfortable driver's seat. There are also negative aspects of the machine. Many will call this Renault crossover not too modern or even outdated, it is high time to change its appearance. The price of a car in showrooms today starts at 1.2 million - very affordable compared to competitors.
Renault Sandero Stepway - the kid for the urban jungle
This Renault crossover definitely cannot be called a real SUV. Sandero Stepway is a restyled version of the Sandero hatchback with fairly democratic characteristics. The machine has a lot of advantages, but only for urban use:
- quite economical, but not too modern power units;
- The 1.6-liter unit has two versions with 8 and 16 valves for 82 and 102 horses;
- the decoration of the interior of the Stepway differs little from the standard interior of the Sandero;
- this version of the hatchback is slightly higher and also has visual differences.
With its price for the base model of 570,000 rubles, this car has every chance of becoming one of the most popular crossovers in its class. The car will compete with many converted hatchbacks, which received "off-road" versions and restyled models. But it is still impossible to call Stepway a successful project. After the next restyling, the car has changed a lot, the buyer will need time to study the Renault crossover.
Summing up
Good value, good technical characteristics, the absence of unnecessary expensive elements and the full compliance of the trip with expectations. This is how you can characterize the range of off-road vehicles from the French corporation. You can buy a Renault crossover in various trim levels, on which both the cost and the feeling of traveling in a car will greatly depend.
Cars from the French in the current version are filled with excellent qualities. Of course, in the Russian mentality there is still a memory of the not very high-quality performance of the company's transport ten years ago. But today the corporation operates in accordance with the laws of the European market.
Encouraged by the success of other models on the B0 platform, the French continue to expand the range, developing another new body (photo), this time for a crossover with sporty notes in character and design. In terms of trim levels and prices, Renault Arkana 2019 is closest to the popular Kaptur in Russia. This also applies to the main technical characteristics of the novelty. In addition to local assembly in our country, the new model is also planned to be produced in Brazil and China, which gives it a global status. With a base 1.6-liter gasoline naturally aspirated engine with a capacity of 114 hp, front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual gearbox, the Renault Arkana 2019 will cost 999,000 rubles in the showrooms of official dealers in Moscow. A similar price list is valid for the initial version of Life, and in total in the arsenal of the crossover in the new body there are: 4 configurations, 2 types of engines, 3 gearboxes, front and all-wheel drive. As a result, the buyer has the opportunity to choose one of 12 versions that differ both technically and in terms of equipment. The official release date for the Renault Arkana was held at last year's August Moscow Motor Show, and, according to the latest news, the start of sales in Russia will take place in mid-July 2019.

The price of Renault Arkana 2019 Life worth 999,000 rubles includes front-wheel drive with mechanics and a 114-horsepower engine. The presence of a continuously variable variator is estimated at an additional 50 thousand rubles, and among the options - only heated front seats.
The main advantage of the Drive package is a wide choice of powertrains and transmissions, as well as an extensive list of custom equipment. However, the basic equipment is replenished only with the presence of front side airbags, passive cruise control, an autonomous preheater, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and heated front seats. Outwardly, this version can be distinguished externally by glossy rear-view mirror caps, front and rear bumper protection, 16-inch black diamond-cut aluminum wheels and a chrome exhaust trim. Options include: climate control, rain and light sensors, a proprietary navigation system, fog lights, a rear view camera and standard parking sensors. The price of Renault Arkana 2019 in the Drive configuration is 1,089,990 rubles, the surcharge for the CVT is similar.

In addition, for 1,229,990 rubles. a modification is proposed, the technical characteristics of which include: front-wheel drive, a 1.3-liter turbo engine (150 hp) and a continuously variable transmission.
Next in the hierarchy of the new model is the Style package with a price tag of 1,229,990 rubles, which already comes with a CVT X-Tronic stepless variator in the base. All optional equipment of the previous version is included in the standard equipment here, and only leather trim is offered for an additional fee.

The price list of all-wheel drive options starts at 1,449,990 rubles.
New body
For the Renault Arcana 2019 crossover, a new body (photo) was created in an atmosphere of deep secrecy. The idea to instill the status of a specially designed car for the Russian market is very sound. And the point here is not only in the subsequent commercial success, but also in the most accurate adaptation to the tastes of local buyers, taking into account difficult road conditions and a harsh climate. Without spraying money on newfangled 3-cylinder turbo engines, as well as whimsical dual-clutch robotic transmissions, the output is a product with a sufficient margin of reliability and adaptability to local fuels and lubricants, coupled with an advantageous price-quality ratio. The creation of a new Renault Arkana body for the 2019 model year based on the used B0 platform and a high degree of unification with other models not only reduces the cost of the final product, but also allows you to painlessly organize local assembly next to other concern models at existing facilities.
Specifications
Already starting from the basic modification, the time-tested atmospheric power unit with a volume of 1.6 liters (114 hp) is used. For such a Renault Arcana 2019 crossover, the technical specifications report 12.4 seconds to reach the first hundred, 183 km / h of maximum speed and 7.1 liters of average fuel consumption per 100 km. The CVT X-Tronic stepless variator, thanks to a larger range of gear ratios, allows to reduce gasoline consumption by 0.2 liters, however, an increase in curb weight and additional power losses in the transmission somewhat reduce speed data. In order to see the treasured hundred on the speedometer, it takes 15.2 seconds, and the final acceleration ends at around 167 km / h. Expectedly more dynamic 1.3-liter turbo options with front and all-wheel drive. These modifications in the technical characteristics of the new Renault Arkana 2019 model at a price of 1,229,990 rubles have 10.2 (10.5) seconds of acceleration to 100 km/h, the maximum speed is 191 (191) km/h, and the economy is at the level 7.1 (7.2) liters per hundred run on average. In brackets - data for versions with a 4x4 transmission.
release date
The good news is that the release date for Renault Arkana 2019 took place on August 29 last year as part of the Moscow Motor Show. However, those who are especially suffering from a crossover in a new body will still have to wait a bit, since production and sales start are scheduled for mid-July 2019. Currently, at the former AZLK plant in Moscow, the assembly of an experimental batch of new items for debugging the technology is in full swing. For the deeply modernized oldest enterprise, there is a preferential taxation, which, coupled with an increased degree of robotization, has a beneficial effect on the cost of the final product. The move away from sedans and hatchbacks in favor of more profitable crossovers is also a good sign. In terms of positioning in the group's model range, the new crossover occupies an intermediate position between the domestic Kaptur and the European Kadjar. Latest news states that the final configurations and prices were announced closer to the release date of Renault Arkana 2019 in Russia. At the moment, the production capacity of the enterprise is 190 thousand cars per year, and the level of localization corresponds to 66%.
Overview of the new Renault Arkana 2019-2020: appearance, interior, specifications, equipment, options, security systems and price. At the end of the article, a photo and video review of Renault Arkana.
Review content:
Information about the appearance of a new unusual crossover Renault Arkana 2019-2020 appeared recently. Initially, they said that this was a redesigned Kaptur or Koleos. After a couple of official photos, it became clear that the Renault Arkana 2019-2020 crossover is completely new. Despite the fact that the crossover is only a concept according to the manufacturer, in fact, according to motorists and experts, it will quickly migrate to a production model.
It is worth recalling that for the first time information about the new Renault Arkana was revealed on August 25, and on August 29, 2018, the crossover was officially presented at the Moscow Auto Show. In addition to the show, the manufacturer partially named the characteristics of the novelty, as well as what's new in Renault Arkana 2019-2020. If, nevertheless, we consider the new crossover in individual details, then we can confidently say that many of them are taken from Kaptur, Koleos and even Duster. On the other hand, the novelty has acquired unique elements that are not found in other models of the brand.
The exterior of the new Renault Arkana 2019-2020
As already mentioned, the appearance of the new crossover concept, on the one hand, is unique, on the other hand, it resembles previously known cars of this brand. Since this is a concept, the manufacturer presented the maximum configuration of the car by installing the most modern technologies. In fact, the front of the new Renault Arkana is made in the style of the brand, but the front optics are the most attractive. Designers made it in a C-shaped style, the edging itself plays the role of LED daytime running lights, tightened on the lower part of the front bumper.
Main part front optics Renault Arkana 2019 is small, divided into sectors with LED elements inside. In total, such optics give severity and aggressive character to the new crossover. Following the optics, the main grille of the Renault Arkana radiator looks good, the central part is reserved for the chrome emblem of the brand, the rest is made of horizontal chrome strips. Finally, the lower part of the grille was emphasized with a V-shaped chrome line.
Front bumper Renault Arkana 2019-2020 is not the most common and does not at all resemble other brand crossovers. The designers pulled the lower part forward, dividing it into three separate parts. In the center there is an additional radiator grill for a couple with silver protection, on the sides there are small rectangular inserts for air intake. Although, according to the designers of Renault Arkana, LED fog lights may appear here.
The windshield of the Renault Arkana 2019-2020 concept turned out to be very unusual, the designers made it panoramic by tightening the upper part on the roof. Such a move is not in vain, since the entire top, up to the rear window, is black, which gives the feeling of an all-glass roof. According to engineers, the novelty will acquire a partial or full windshield. The hood of the new Renault Arkana 2019, although it looks menacing, is still recognizable from Kaptur.
Side part concept Renault Arkana 2019-2020, although it is a coupe according to the manufacturer, it is actually a 5-door hatchback. On the side, the crossover is more reminiscent of the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class due to the unusual rear end. The concept did not receive any special curved lines, only small protrusions above the wheel arches and a recess at the bottom of the doors. To highlight the car's attitude to the crossover class, the lower part of the Renault Arkana was decorated with a black plastic trim along the contour.
The side mirrors of the Renault Arkana 2019 will surprise you no less. The designers made them in the Urban style, thin with sharp overlays on the reverse side. Since this is a concept, they should not be given much attention or thought that the review will be bad.
It is highly likely that in the production model they will be different, larger in shape and with a good functional set. Designers Renault Arkana moved away from the current concept of the location of the mirrors on the door, installing them in the corner of the front glass. The glasses themselves are made of three main parts, two movable and one blank glass on the back.
Regarding the body colors of the Renault Arkana 2019-2020 serial crossover, there is no information yet, we can assume that this will be a list of shades of the same Koleos and Kaptur:
- white;
- black;
- golden;
- silver;
- grey;
- orange;
- burgundy;
- red;
- Navy blue.
Behind the new Renault Arkana 2019-2020 concept will surprise you with modern technologies and an unusual slope of the trunk lid. It is the rear that most resembles the Mercedes-Benz GLE. The trunk lid is quite large, which means that loading large items will not be difficult. The rear feet are made on the basis of LED elements, one part of the feet, as expected, is located on the body, the second part is stretched across the entire width of the trunk lid in a V-shape. Most of all, the novelty is given out by the chrome-plated Arkana inscription at the end of the lid.
The rear bumper of the Renault Arkana 2019-2020 concept is conditionally divided into two parts, the side is painted to match the body color and the central part is made of a black plastic insert and a silver diffuser. The central black insert has played a rather significant role in the overall style of the crossover, it has a recess for license plates and a pair of LED foglights. The rear diffuser is made in the style of the brand's crossovers, in addition, two exhaust tips are located on it.
About what will be the roof of the new serial Renault Arkana 2019-2020 is still unknown. On the concept, the manufacturer showed a completely glass roof, with a large panorama. Such a move significantly improved the overall appearance of the crossover, and also increased the status of the car among fellow platformers.
If you do not take into account that the presented Renault Arkana 2019-2020 is only a concept, then the production model will look very good. The designers managed to do something new, which the brand could not offer before in the line of premium crossovers. Today, this is the official world premiere of the new concept Renault Arkana 2019-2020.
The interior of the crossover Renault Arkana 2019-2020
About the interior there is little to say about the future serial Renault Arkana 2019-2020, since in fact it is not in the concept. The designers did not reveal the features of the production model's interior, only stating that the differences would be cardinal. The salon of the new crossover will be designed for a full landing of 5 passengers, including the driver.
Most likely, the first and second row of Renault Arkana 2019 seats will be taken from Koleos or Kaptur, since these models have proven themselves well in terms of interior comfort. In terms of the functionality of the seats, the novelty will not yield to its brothers, the manufacturer promised to equip the first row with an electric adjustment drive. Second row adjustable backrest and seat forward/backward.
As the interior trim of the serial Renault Arkana, they promised to use quality leather, fabric sheathing will most likely be abandoned. At least 5 color options will be available: black, gray, brown, brown and beige.
The front panel of the 2019 Renault Arkana concept is essentially empty, so little can be said about the functional part. From what was shown in the concept - a large 12 "central display of the multimedia system, a couple of small air ducts on top and most likely there will be a couple more control panels for climate control and recharging gadgets.
driving position Renault Arkana 2019 concept was surprised by a small instrument panel with a round speedometer and tachometer, as well as a small display in the center. Whether there will be a fully digital panel in the new crossover is still unknown, but most likely the top configuration will get such a panel as an option, since the pleasure is not cheap. The Renault Arkana steering wheel seems to be new, it will be possible to adjust the height and reach.
Otherwise, there is no information about the interior of Renault Arkana 2019 yet, it remains to be expected the official premiere of the production version. It was then that a complete picture of the configuration and functionality of the interior of the crossover will open, as well as reviews of its quality in general.
Specifications Renault Arkana 2019-2020
Information about what will be located under the hood of the new Renault Arkana 2019 is not yet available. Representatives of the company streamlined that the new crossover will get completely new unit, which was developed specifically for the brand's new cars. Considering that the Renaut-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance has recently developed only one engine, a 1.3-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, it is more likely that it will be under the hood of the new Arkana 2019. About the current units, 2.0 and 1.6 liters it is worth forgetting, according to the manufacturer, they are already considered obsolete.
Today, this engine is already being installed on new Renault and Mercedes-Benz A-Class cars. In tandem, a CVT transmission will most likely be installed to the engine, instead of an automatic one. It is reliably known that the production model Renault Arkana 2019-2020 will be offered with both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. Engineers do their best to hide information about the platform of the concept, as it is also a modified B0 platform, which was used for Duster. Most likely, it was finalized, since the new Arkana is almost 4.5 meters long, which is 200 mm longer than the Duster.
The brake system of the serial Renault Arkana 2019 immediately became a dispute, as representatives announced a possible improvement. The concept got disc brakes on 4 wheels, the production model in the basic configuration can get drum discs for the rear axle, which is not very nicely combined with the overall design of the novelty. The suspension of the new Renault Arkana 2019-2020 will be completely independent, as previously expected.
Safety and comfort Renault Arkana 2019
There is also no information about this section of Renault Arkana 2019-2020, as well as about technical characteristics. It's hard to say whether this crossover will be stuffed with modern technologies or whether it will be classified as a budget option. According to company representatives, the serial Renault Arkana will be equipped with the basic necessary list of passive and active security systems.
Renault Arkana's main safety list will include:
- front and rear airbag;
- side curtain airbags;
- navigation;
- tire pressure monitoring;
- vehicle stabilization system;
- lane traffic monitoring;
- assistant when starting downhill;
- Cruise control;
- pedestrian recognition system;
- all-round visibility system;
- rain and light sensors;
- parking assistant;
- automatic switching of high and low beam.
Price and equipment Renault Arkana 2019-2020
Official data on the price and trim levels of Renault Arkana 2019-2020 will be revealed closer to the official start of sales. According to company representatives, the start of sales of the new crossover in Russia is scheduled for the first half of 2019. The production of new items has already been established at the Moscow plant of the Renault company.
According to many reports Renault Arkana will be sold in China, South Korea and Brazil. In Europe, the start of sales of new items is scheduled for the second half of 2019. Regarding the price of the new Arkana, it is still too early to say, according to the manufacturer, the novelty will take place between Kaptur and Koleos, which means that the approximate price will be in the range from 1,360,000 rubles to 1,830,000 rubles.
Well, it remains only to consider the presented Renault Arkana 2019-2020 concept, wait for new information from the manufacturer and think about what the production model of the crossover will be. According to many motorists, the new concept has surpassed other models of the brand. Just look at the fresh exterior of the concept and the unusual body shape of the new Renault Arkana.
In March 2016, the presentation of the new crossover Renault Kaptur, created specifically for the Russian market, took place. It is reported that the production of the SUV has been launched at the Moscow plant of the French brand, where it replaced the 1st generation Logan.
Recall that back in the spring of the thirteenth, the company introduced the European version, built on the Clio 4 platform, and in the fall of the following year, rumors appeared that the production of Renault Kaptur 2019 (photo and price) could be established in Russia.
Options and prices Renault Captur 2019
MT - 5 and 6-speed manual, AT4 - 4-speed automatic, CVT - CVT, 4 × 4 - all-wheel drive
But the first letter was changed in the name of the model for our market, so in the Russian Federation the crossover will be sold not as Captur, but as Kaptur. The French note that the choice in favor of the letter "K" was made based on the results of a survey conducted among Russian customers of the brand.
