Small crossovers with cute styling belong to a very young market. Initially, nobody knew how to sell them, but sooner or later the marketing people figured it out. Cars like the Renault Captur are great for going to work on weekdays and escaping the city on Friday.
That's essentially the gist of this commercial that's just been released by Renault UK, but there's an aquatic twist. Seeing the all-new Captur, a blue finned creature decided he also needs to get away from his job of swimming around in circles.
So he makes a run for it, jumping from the tank to cups of water and whatever wet patch he can find. Eventually, he joins the holiday makers at the seaside and stretches his fins in the ocean.
Renault revealed the Captur back in 2013. It's the very first crossover in the urban range of models, building on the success (and platform) of the new Clio. It also has the job of replacing the Scenic.
Even though it looks like a go-anywhere type of car, the Captur is front-driven and available with a range of small turbocharged engines. The base one is a 0.9-liter turbo that manages to deliver 90 PS, followed by a 120 PS 1.2-liter turbo. Diesel options come in the form of a 1.5 dCi with either 90 or 110 horsepower.
There is something buyers in the market for such a car need to know, and that is the fact that "weekend adventures" don't come for free. Compared to a regular Clio, the Captur is €2,000 more expensive. But besides the raised suspension, you also receive a roomier cabin and trunk to store your inflatable dolphins and flip-flop collection.
