Renault has made yet another adjustment to the Captur family, more than half a year after it went under the knife, by marrying the six-speed EDC automatic gearbox to the dCi 90 diesel engine.
The transmission, which was previously available only with the TCe 120 petrol burner, promises to the liver "the driving comfort associated with an automatic transmission, combined with the fuel efficiency and response of a manual gearbox".
This engine/gearbox combo is available on all four trim levels, including the range-topping Signature Nav. It has an average fuel consumption of 72.4 UK mpg (60.3 US mpg / 3.9 l/100 km), according to the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC), and it emits 101 g/km of CO2, in the Dynamique Nav specification.
The first units of the new Renault Captur dCi 90 EDC will be shipped to customers starting later this month, but they can already order the subcompact SUV in the United Kingdom, where it can be had from £20,125 ($26,950), tax included. By comparison, that's £4,510 ($6,040) more than the cheapest model.
