For the time being are just rumors leaked unofficially by the company, but the concept car Capture presented by Renault at Geneva this year could go into production. It will not happen for a couple of years and the two versions could be provided. The first five-door Nissan Juke style - probably sharing the same platform - and the second three-door Range Rover, the idea of Evoque.

This would be unconventional cars, certainly the flagship of a new style and a genre that is emerging only now.

It is based on formal language introduced by DeZir concept, with a more technical and more functional, but still extremely sexy. The proportions and curves of Capture evoke muscular movement and lightness.

Corners or lines can not be found, but sensual and natural forms. The main sources of inspiration have come from extreme sports and athletes, such as the "sprinter" on the starting-block, with tense muscles and the power that is released when you forward momentum. But even the sports equipment that combine technology, elegance and lightness, such as helmets, gloves or other protection for the body.

Capture incorporates the new identity of the front, made up DeZir, structured around the larger diamond, placed upright on a surface of dark-looking, to ensure maximum readability. The mighty wings opaque highlight the perceived strength, while the direction indicator LEDs are prolonged, the effect of waves that propagate along the body.
