The Captur features an upgraded Renault’s turbocharged TCe 120 engine that delivers the performance and acceleration of a normally-aspirated 1.8L engine. When mated to the six-speed Efficient Dual Clutch (EDC) transmission, the spirited engine now delivers an improved peak torque of 205 Nm from as low as 2,000 rpm, while achieving good fuel efficiency of up to 5.9L/100km (NEDC test method).

The new engine start-stop function helps to shut down and restart the internal combustion engine to reduce the amount of time the engine spends idling, thereby reducing emissions.
