The Patent Office is becoming a bigger alpha and omega in the world of cars every day. Consider that during the almost past year, thanks to it, we got to know the appearance of, for example, the complete series of Transit vans from Ford or the new Mazda 3 . Now they are joined by the small SUV Captur from Renault .
And what did the patent images reveal? Above all, compared to the study from last year , the serial form will be very different. The design is not so bold and you can say that it is a bloated fourth-generation Clio . In profile, the Captur reminded me a lot of the larger MPV Scénic .
And who is Captur actually aiming at? The upcoming Peugeot 2008 will certainly be the biggest competitor . Another no less interesting counterpart will be the Ford Ecosport and then a host of Japanese led by the Nissan Juke . However, according to the latest reports, the Captur will share important chassis components with this model.
However, the engines should be taken from the Clio IV. generation . And which units will it be? Specifically, there is speculation about the TCe 90 (115 hp) and dCi Energy (90 and 110 hp) engines. The world premiere of the Captur will take place in Geneva in March, and the first customers will hopefully be driving in the middle of next year…
