We expect the Renault Captur to go on sale in the country before or around Diwali, which is coming on October 19 this year.

The car will be positioned as a premium offering and according to Renault, there will be no base variant, which is no the same strategy that the company used when it launched the car in the Brazilian and the Russian markets. The Renault Captur measures 4329 mm in length, 1813 mm in width and 1619 mm in height. The crossover is slightly longer than the Duster, while being narrower and shorter in height.
