Captur Rive Gauche, a glossy limited edition

The limited edition Captur Rive Gauche is the perfect balance of elegance and character, offering a distinctive take on Renault’s best-selling compact SUV.

‘Rive Gauche’ alludes to the fashionable atmosphere of Paris’s famous Left Bank – the neighbourhoods south of the river Seine that ooze history and are home to well‑known monuments, a longstanding jazz culture and the iconic Boulevard St Germain.

For the Captur Rive Gauche, the Intens version has been used as a starting point, then given black gloss paintwork details. This full treatment, right down to the logos, gives the Captur a touch of mystery and personality that will appeal to active customers who are keen to stand out from the crowd.

On the outside, the Captur Rive Gauche boasts a distinctive look with its all-over black gloss finish, which has replaced chrome-plated parts on the front and rear logos, lettering, radiator grille, front and rear skid plates, door protection, bumpers and the 18-inch 'Pasadena' alloy wheels. The shark fin aerial on the roof and the wing mirrors are kitted out in the same shiny black finish.

That visual theme continues inside with black upholstery, door panels and dashboard. The sun roof is also black, as is the RS line finish. The features, similar to the Intens finish, are boosted by the City Pack with the inclusion of a rear parking camera and front parking sensors.

The Rive Gauche edition also includes all of the strengths that have made the original Captur a success: a popular design, an irresistible drive, E-Tech engines in plug‑in and non plug‑in versions, optimal interior and boot space, a sliding rear bench seat, the Smart Cockpit and 15 driver assistance features.

The Renault Captur Rive Gauche is now available for order in eight different colourways: Pearlescent White, Highland Grey, Cassiopée Grey, Etoilé Black, Atacama Orange, Flame Red, Iron Blue and Smoked Marine Blue.

Prices start at €26,400 and the first deliveries will arrive in March 2022.
