Design and appearance of the Renault Captur
Renault Captur is claimed to be India’s most stylish SUV which evident from the overall stance of the SUV. Renault Captur to some may look like a bigger version of the other Renault cars but the SUV is totally unique.

Review
Design-wise the Renault Captur is great as it offers near SUV design but it offers mid-range performance via diesel engine. The SUV readily sits and deserves a position above Renault Duster.
