Well, spy photos are not unveiling too much. But, these images are confirming the development of plug-in hybrid. Renault is taking advantage of the partnership with Nissan and Mitsubishi. This alliance will spend more money in the future for hybrid and all-electric cars.

Captur is a subcompact crossover. It was launched in 2013 and ever since its sales are growing. Customers in Russia have a different version from other markets.

2020 Renault Captur Engines

The new 2020 Renault Captur will continue to use three different petrol units and one diesel. Starting from the last one, it is a famous 1.5-liter drivetrain we can find in many other vehicles by the French carmaker. This time, it is turbocharged and it develops 110 hp and 180 lb-ft of torque. This is the best twist output you will find in the lineup.

Petrol engines are creating more power. A 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline powertrain delivers 105 hp and 105 lb-ft of torque.

A 1.6-l unit adds 10 horsepower and 10 pound-feet.

The most powerful drivetrain is a 2.0-liter inline-four with 145 hp and 145 lb-ft of twist.

Plug-In Hybrid Specs

We can take a look at the Clio V hybrid to see what to expect from the 2020 Renault Captur PHEV. The base of this system is a 1.6-liter engine which is offering 90 hp. The electric motor adds 40 ponies over this value. The plug-in hybrid is mated to a 1.2-kWh battery and dual-clutch seven-speed automatic transmission. According to announcements, the new system in Clio hatchback will cut the consumption by 40 percent. The PHEV uses pure electric power in 80 percent of drive.

The 2020 Renault Captur is a bigger model, so it will require a larger battery pack. Some say the engine will pair a 10 kWh battery that will increase the range of pure electric drive to 30 miles (50 km). Well, this is a final step before the Captur becomes an all-electric crossover. However, it is not happening before 2022.

Features

Another big advantage of the CMF-B platform is the possibility of developing all-electric crossovers. For these kinds of vehicles, the autonomous drive becomes one of the crucial factors. Again, the new platform will allow the French carmaker to install such functions in the future.

The new Clio V is already offering many cool advanced accessories that are called “Smart Cockpit”. The focus is on the infotainment system with 9-inch touchscreen display. Climate controls are not on this screen. Of course, there are a lot of physical buttons on the steering wheel. Navigation is still optional. Besides that, the new 2020 Renault Captur will have more interior space. Well, do not expect miracles. This one is still a subcompact model. However, it can take four or five adults to a longer trip. This could be one of the decisive points for the buyers of such crossovers.

However, it is now more likely to see it as the vehicle for the 2020 season. One of the big European car shows will host its premiere. Also, Nissan Juke/Kicks will use the same technology.  There is no word about the pricing of the next-gen Captur. The base model will probably keep the same cost. But, the PHEV system will cost extra. How much, it all depends on the size and power of the electric battery pack.
