Renault Captur receives major update in 2024

On sale since 2019, the current-generation Renault Captur is set to receive a significant update during the first half of 2024.

Patent-registration images have now leaked, offering an early look at what appear to be the model’s key changes. At least externally, its styling will move closer to that of the other cars in the French brand’s line-up.

Like the recently updated Clio, which adopted a more assertive appearance in keeping with the style of Renault’s new design director, Gilles Vidal, the Captur will also head in this direction. Some of the more rounded surfaces that have defined this generation’s design will disappear.

Renault Captur exterior design changes

The most noticeable revisions will be at the front, where the refreshed Captur will take on several solutions recently seen on the Scénic E-Tech, which we have already driven.

Its light signature will be much slimmer and split into two sections. The Renault badge positioned centrally will be smaller, the grille will become considerably narrower and more horizontal, and the bonnet will have a flatter shape.

Along the sides and at the rear, however, little or nothing is expected to change, apart from the bumper and, most likely, the wheel design.

What changes inside?

These patent-registration images reveal nothing about the cabin. However, judging by the changes made to the Clio, Renault is expected to comprehensively revise the Captur’s materials and finishes, which should take a step up in quality.

Major mechanical changes are not expected either, with Renault likely to retain one of the segment’s most varied engine ranges.

The Captur is currently sold in Portugal with petrol, Bi-Fuel (LPG) and hybrid versions, and this is expected to continue in the future.

When will it arrive?

The updated Renault Captur will be unveiled in spring, and it would come as no surprise if the French marque chose the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland, at the end of February, for its debut.

Its market launch should follow a few months later, around the summer.
