Not only that, the base-spec RXE is now cheaper by Rs 50,000 than before. Rear parking sensors, driver and co-driver seatbelt reminder and speed alert join the list of safety features offered as standard on the Captur SUV. Other features like dual front airbags, ABS with EBD and brake assist, auto door lock, rear defogger, rear wiper with washer and ISOFIX child seat anchors continue to be offered on all variants by Renault. The French carmaker also claims that the update makes the Captur compliant with the latest frontal, lateral and pedestrian crash safety norms. The top-spec Platine variant was previously restricted to the diesel engine only, but is now available with the petrol engine as well. It continues to be equipped with additional features like rear parking camera with guidelines, cruise control with speed limiter, rain sensing wipers and auto headlamps too. The MediaNAV infotainment system with the 7-inch touchscreen has been updated with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and voice recognition along with an Eco Guide system that aims to provide guidelines to improve fuel efficiency by monitoring driving patterns.
