Renault has
joined forces with the outdoor sport and leisure clothing brand Helly Hansen to
market the first Renault Captur to
feature Extended Grip, a system designed to optimise traction performance
whatever the conditions.
Exclusively, the limited-edition
Helly Hansen version of Captur can
be ordered in Flamme Red, and generous use of the colour has been made
inside the cabin, too. The rugged appeal of this version of Renault’s urban
crossover is reinforced by the fitment of front and rear skid plates and
17-inch wheels.
Renault Captur Helly Hansen’s standard equipment package
includes the R-Link multimedia tablet with touchscreen display, plus a long
list of other comfort-enhancing features.
Leather upholstery is also available exclusively for this
limited-edition version (standard or optional depending on market).
Any of the engines available in the Captur catalogue can be
specified for the limited-edition Helly Hansen version which is due to go on
sale in June in most European markets, followed by a september release date for
France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Spain.
The range of the brand’s first urban crossover, Renault
Captur, has been expanded by the introduction of a new limited-edition Helly
Hansen version developed in association with the celebrated Norwegian outdoor
sport and leisure clothing brand founded in 1877. The new addition features a
distinctive adventurer look thanks to its exclusive Flamme Red finish, making
it the only version of the model to offer this body colour, as well as to its
Platine Grey front and rear skid plates and 17-inch black diamond-effect alloy
wheels. HH badging on the wings portray indicates the car’s association with
Helly Hansen.
Captur Helly Hansen
can be ordered in one of four two-tone finishes:
* Flamme Red with a
black or ivory roof,
* Etoilé Black with
an ivory roof,
* Cassiopée Grey with
a black roof,
* Ivory with a black
roof.
The limited-edition Helly Hansen version of Captur is
equipped with exclusive new leather seats (standard or optional depending on market).
Other specific interior embellishments include red dashboard trim strips, a
‘carbon fibre’ motif for the steering wheel insert, chrome door sill guards and
front carpet mats.
Additional grip to
facilitate driving whatever the conditions.
Renault Captur Helly Hansen is also equipped with the
Extended Grip system first seen on Renault Scénic X-Mod in 2013.
This advanced technology is an evolution of the traction
control system designed to optimise grip in difficult conditions, such as snow,
mud, sand, etc.
A rotary control on the centre console allows the driver to
select the ideal mode for the conditions. There are three modes (‘Road’, ‘Loose
Ground’ and ‘Expert’), the first of which is the default choice for hard
surfaces (dry, wet or ice).
The ‘Loose Ground’ mode puts the Extended Grip system in
charge of the driven wheels. Engine torque and braking effort are automatically
adjusted to permit more front wheel spin. This allows the M&S tyres (Mud
and Snow) to clear mud or sand more effectively and therefore benefit from
better grip.
By selecting the ‘Expert’ mode, the driver can control the
delivery of engine torque to accelerate as he or she sees fit, while leaving
optimisation of the braking effort to the system.
The Extended Grip system automatically reverts to ‘Road’
mode at speeds in excess of 40kph is the ‘Loose Ground’ or ‘Expert’ mode has
been selected.
The system necessitates the fitment of Mud and Snow tyres,
the specific tread pattern of which enables them to clear mud, sand or soft snow
more efficiently.
In addition to its R-Link multimedia system with touchscreen
display, Renault Captur Helly Hansen
comes with the following standard equipment:
* Automatic dipped beam headlight and windscreen-wiper
activation,
* 60/40-split sliding rear bench seat with three head rests.
The bench seat can be tipped forward to form a flat floor,
* Automatic climate control,
* 17-inch diamond-effect black alloy wheels with specific
all-weather tyres,
* Electric front and rear windows (one-touch function for
driver’s window),
* Trip computer,
* Reversible, washable boot floor lining,
* Fog lights with cornering function,
* Front and rear skid plates,
* Rear parking sensors or reversing camera (depending on
market),
* Stowage pockets in front seat backs,
* Removable central stowage unit,
* Cruise control with speed limiter,
* Electric folding door mirrors,
* Chrome front sill guards,
* Mixed TEP/fabric or leather upholstery with heating front
seats (depending on market),
* ABS with Emergency Brake Assist, ESC and Hill Start
Assist,
* Extended Grip system,
* Hands-free card,
* Driver and front passenger carpet mats,
* Easy Life drawer,

* Height- and reach-adjustable leather-trimmed steering
wheel.
The limited-edition Helly Hansen version can be specified

gearbox or automatic EDC transmission.
