Geneva 2011: Renault Captur Concept is designed to be explored

Filed under: Concept Cars, Geneva Motor Show, Europe, Crossover, Renault

The Renault Captur appears to be the Nissan Juke of tomorrow, but it’s here on the Geneva Motor Show floor today. It also features a more muscular-yet-curvy body than its Japanese cousin. Renault describes the Captur as a sporty crossover that would be utilized by two people bent on exploring the world.

Those two explorers will likely be happy to know that under the hood sits a 1.6-liter twin-turbocharged four-cylinder engine, which produces 160 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque at just 1,750 rpm. If you failed math (like us), feel free to break out the calculator in order to prove that the Captur is in the 100-horsepower-per-liter club.

The interior of the Renault Captur is pure conceptual craziness. A series of elastic cords take the place of traditional seating fabric. The idea is to provide the same support and comfort found when relaxing in a hammock. It certainly sounds interesting, but in the end, it’s pure auto show zazz.
