Ghosn also announced that the Renault Captur will be produced in São José dos Pinhais on the same line that currently assembles the Renault Duster, Sandero, Logan, Duster Oroch and Sandero Stepway. The launch of the Renault Captur in the popular, fast-growing C-SUV segment will contribute to Renault’s growth in Brazil.

The Renault Kwid will make its debut in 2017 together with the top-of-the-range New Koleos that will be imported. The Renault Captur will be available during the first half of 2017.
