Renault has a new SUV that it is showing, the all-new Captur, and Renault has crammed a bunch of new features and technology into the car. The automaker is also talking up how the car will meet the three pillars of the mobility future.

The center console has a pair of USB ports and a 12V port along with door storage that can hold a 1.5-liter bottle. The exterior has an athletic and dynamic design according to Renault and is 11cm longer than the older Captur.

A sunroof and roof bars are optional.

Renault offers lots of customization options with multiple color options. Inside there are seven interior trim packs including Vollubilis Blue, Saffron Orange, Chile Red, and Ocean Blue for the second trim level. Saddle gray, architect gray and saffron orange are available from the third trim level.
