Renault Captur Pure special edition introduced in France - IAB Report

Production limited to a 1,000 units, powered by 110 hp 1.5L dCi motor.

Renault has announced a new special edition for the Captur crossover, powered by a diesel engine.

Called the Pure special edition, it adds unique features like bespoke roof decals and side mirror housings, and a special Cassiopée Grey paintjob with an Etoilé Black roof. Based on the Intens trim, the interior features "Pure" badging, a mix of dark charcoal & smoke grey leather upholstery, a bespoke sill plaque with production number and "Pure" badging.

The crossover also comes with the Techno Pack that adds the R-Link infotainment system and a reversing camera to the package.

The biggest change, however, is the motor under the hood. Unlike the standard Renault that is powered by a 90 hp 1.5-liter dCi engine, the Pure edition gets a more-powerful 1.5-liter dCi engine, producing 110 HP and 260 Nm of torque.
