What transmission does the Captur use?
2 Answers
The Captur is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission for the low-power engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission for the high-power engine. The Captur is a compact SUV under Dongfeng Renault. Taking the 2019 TCe240 manual sporty model as an example: the exterior dimensions are 4263mm in length, 1797mm in width, and 1593mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2638mm, a fuel tank capacity of 50L, and a trunk capacity of 351L. The Captur is equipped with a 1.3T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 133, a maximum power of 98 kilowatts at 5000 rpm, and a maximum torque of 240 Nm between 1600 and 3500 rpm.
I've personally driven the Renault Captur for three years and feel its transmission is quite impressive. Most models use a CVT transmission, which is the continuously variable type. This transmission provides an exceptionally smooth driving experience, especially in congested city traffic, with no jerking sensation—acceleration is as smooth as silk. It's also very fuel-efficient; my highway fuel consumption is less than 7 liters per 100 kilometers, much more economical than other automatic models. However, I must remind everyone that regular maintenance is crucial. It's recommended to check the transmission fluid every 60,000 kilometers, as aged fluid can lead to increased noise. Overall, the Captur's design is very practical, ideal for daily commuting, and remains comfortable even after long drives. If you've just bought one, you might want to try the manual mode for a bit more driving fun.
