At the 2013 Geneva Motor Show we saw the debut of a new compact crossover from Renault named the ''Captur''. The Renault Captur is also known as the Renault Samsung QM3 and this badge engineered version was launched at the Seoul Motor Show in South Korea in April 2013 shortly after the debut of its European counterpart at the Geneva Motor Show. The QM3 went on to be later voted as the Best Car in the Seoul Motor Show.
The Captur is actually a raised Clio and there are no four-wheel drive option available since most buyers of these types of cars almost never goes off tarmac so there really is no point in it. But since it is a raised Clio efficiency will not be a problem at all for you, the Captur is very fuel efficient and returns very big numbers in MPG especially if you are choosing the diesel engine.

At the 2015 Geneva Motor Show we saw the launch of yet another vehicle from Renault and that is the 'Kadjar' a compact SUV which shares the same Renault-Nissan Common Module Family platform as the all famous Nissan Qashqai which alllow the incorporation of both front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. I am sure that many of your are pondering your brains to figure out where and how did Renault managed to come up with such a name, well the 'Kad' is inspired by 'quad' as a representation of a go-anywhere four-wheeled vehicle and the 'Jar' relates to the french word agile which expresses the agility of the car.
