30,000th Captur sold in the UK goes to a couple in Kent.

• Renault Captur hits 30,000 UK sales landmark
• Milestone underlines Renault’s growing presence in crossover segment
• Eagerly-awaited Kadjar will join Renault crossover family this autumn

A couple from Kent has taken delivery of the 30,000^th Renault Captur urban crossover to be sold in the UK. Richard and Norma Watters, of West Malling, collected the keys to their range-topping Captur Signature from local dealer RRG Renault Orpington.

The excited couple chose the model – a Captur Signature TCe 120 Auto EDC – after falling for its elevated ride height and comfort.

But it was the added ‘va va voom’ of a striking Flame Red metallic finish with contrasting Diamond Black roof and door mirrors and chrome interior detailing that sealed the deal.

To commemorate the special occasion the couple were presented with a voucher for £300 from Renault UK towards the cost of Renault accessories as well as a bouquet of flowers and a bottle of wine. 

Collecting the car, a delighted Mrs Watters, said: “When I saw the Captur I really loved the look of it and then, after a quick test drive I knew it was the car for me.

“It’s exciting enough just to be collecting the car but knowing it’s the 30,000^th sold in the UK and a bit of a landmark car makes it all the more special.”

Paul Davis, General Sales Manager at RRG Renault Orpington, said: “In a short space of time the Captur has become one of our most popular and in-demand models and the Captur Signature is something really special.

“I know Mr and Mrs Watters are going to love their new Captur and will have a great time discovering its many on board features.”

He added: “We’re absolutely delighted to be playing a role in the Captur success story and can’t wait until its big brother, the Kadjar, arrives in our showroom this autumn.”

On sale since July 2013, the Captur has rapidly become one of Renault’s most popular models and is now the brand’s second biggest seller in the UK. 

Its success has given Renault a growing presence in the important crossover segment. This position will be strengthened in the autumn with the eagerly anticipated launch of the Captur’s bigger brother, the Kadjar.

Priced from £14,995 RRP for the entry level Expression+, the Captur brings Renault’s sense of style to the crossover scene and a fun and sporty spirit to compliment its all-round practicality and quality.  

Standard equipment includes air conditioning, cruise control with speed limiter, Bluetooth connectivity automatic headlights and wipers and a handsfree keycard.

The Captur Signature is priced from £17,495 RRP and offers a long list of upgrades including 17-inch ‘Explore’ alloy wheels, a leather interior, rear parking camera, climate control, the Renault R-Link Multimedia system including 7-inch touchscreen and TomTom® LIVE Satellite Navigation.

Like all Renaults it comes with a four year/100,000-mile warranty and four years roadside assistance.
