The Renault Captur is based off the Duster but looks much more sophisticated and needless to say, has more equipment too

In the interview with DNA, Sumit Sawhney, Renault India managing director, said that the Renault has been investing in the country steadily from the last few years. This money goes into development of new products and hence we can expect to see new products coming in the next couple of years. He said that Renault India learnt from the Duster that Indians love changes in their vehicles and while they were initially slow to respond to the market changes, now they are introducing some or the other changes to their cars starting with the Kwid. Sumit also said that the Renault Captur will help them sustain the five per cent market share that Renault India currently commands.

The basic variants of the 2017 Renault Captur gets an all-black interior. However, the touchscreen infotainment system is offered on this variant as well

Renault India also aims to start with EVs in the country once the infrastructure as well as the policies fall into place. Sumit said that being the market leaders with respect to EVs, it was but imperative that the company will foray here.
