Locally-Assembled Renault Captur Crossover: Now Available and More Affordable

Kuala Lumpur, 18 April 2017 – TC Euro Cars (TCEC) has started local assembly of the Renault Captur crossover for the domestic market to meet the increasing trend for compact vehicles that offer versatility, fuel efficiency and safety for today’s active urban lifestyle.

In addition to the current specifications and features found in the fully-imported version, the locally-assembled Renault Captur is now certified as an EEV (Energy Efficient Vehicle) and is available at a new price of RM109,000 (on-the-road inclusive of GST, without insurance, for Peninsular Malaysia and private registration).

The locally-assembled Captur will be available in a new colour combination – a trendy two-toned Flame Red body with Diamond Black roof. Customers can also opt for interior leather seats at an additional cost.

The locally-assembled Renault Captur will officially be available for sale starting 19 April 2017 and the first 100 customers to place an order will enjoy an early bird rebate of RM11,000 for additional savings. Additionally, TCEC will be showcasing the locally-assembled Captur at LG, Oval Concourse, 1 Utama Shopping Centre on 19 – 23 April 2017.

The Captur is being built at the Tan Chong Motor Assemblies (TCMA) plant in Segambut, Kuala Lumpur. It is Renault’s third locally-assembled model in Malaysia. The TCMA facility has passed stringent evaluations and quality standards set by Renault, to ensure the plant meets Renault-certified specifications.

The Captur is one of Renault’s most in-demand models and has more than 760,000 units produced globally since 2013. The model is the number one seller in its segment in Europe.

Fashionable yet practical, the Renault Captur stands out from the crowd with its expressive styling and trendy dual-tone colour exterior that express an assertive yet unpretentious personality. Its compact footprint and high driving position combined with substantial ground clearance and large 17-inch wheels are ideal for the active and young-at-heart.

A lot of attention to detail has been paid to the interior of the Renault Captur, which is designed to be both welcoming and occupant friendly. Refinements include attractive zippable seat covers with stylish stitching that are removable for easy washing, a reversible boot floor with carpeting on one side and plastic on the other as well as the sliding and foldable bench seat, which splits 60:40 for increased boot space.

The Renault Captur is powered by the turbocharged TCe 120 engine that is mated to a six-speed Efficient Dual Clutch (EDC) transmission, which delivers more torque than a 1.8L normally-aspirated engine for powerful acceleration from low revs. At the same time, this spirited crossover also offers exceptional fuel efficiency of up to 5.4L/100km*.

The locally-assembled Renault Captur is now available across all Renault showrooms in four stylish two-toned colour options. The four colour options are:

• • New Flame Red (body) / Diamond Black (roof)
  • Arizona Orange (body) / Diamond Black (roof)
  • Pacific Blue (body) / Ivory (roof)
  • Ivory (body) / Diamond Black (roof)

Like all Renault mainstream vehicles, the locally-assembled Captur comes with a five-year manufacturer’s warranty with unlimited mileage. This warranty is fully backed by Renault and not undertaken by any other insurance companies, which means terms and conditions as well as parts covered are consistent from the first year of ownership to the end of the warranty period.

TCEC is holding a public launch of the locally-assembled Renault Captur on 19 – 23 April 2017 at LG, Oval Concourse, 1 Utama Shopping Centre. Alternatively, interested members of the public can also visit any Renault showroom nationwide on 22 – 23 April 2017 to take a closer look at and test drive the Renault Captur.
