At the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, Renault unveiled its new brand identity, which puts people at the forefront of its concerns. The ambitious new design strategy, which resulted from this problem are based on the different stages of the life cycle of man, each phase consisting of a specific concept. The first, the two-seater coupe Dezire expressed "love" this passion at the beginning of each new adventure. Renault now enter the addresses of the second phase of the cycle, namely two people to explore the world around them.
Like its predecessor, the Renault CAPTUR sets the style simple, sensual and warm, which will be gradually extended to the future of Renault cars. "CATCH is a crossover sport and fun, ideal for a young couple about to discover the world," says design director, Laurens van den Acker. "It builds on the design language introduced on the fundamental concept because it said but added more technical - more functional, but very sensitive," says Axel Breuner, director of concept cars.
Crossover all the muscles that move
Proportions and fluid curves, Renault CAPTUR evokes movement and lightness, but at the same time showing the rates of all-terrain powerful and muscular. As with it said, angles, corners and lines have given way to sensuous forms of nature. For external designer, Julio Lozano, the main sources of inspiration were athletes and extreme sports. "In designing CAPTUR, I started with the image of a sprinter in the blocks, muscles tensed, and the energy released when the kick is taken," he explains. The design also references of equipment such as helmets, gloves and other protective clothing used in extreme sports, combining high technology with elegance and lightness.
Renault useful to adopt a new identity in the face was first presented DeZir. How DeZir this identity is the main big Renault logo, arranged vertically, dark surface, so you stand out as clearly as possible. Major, Matt finished the wings confirm the design of visual power. LED lamps relay the signal wave impact on an entire vehicle.
Renault useful than emotional: it is also practical and versatile vehicle. E 'has a hard top, which when removed, reveals a carbon fiber frame. Profit, therefore, can not change coupe and convertible, the off-road vehicle areas, despite its sporty appeal is confirmed by its butterfly doors and large tires rims 22 inch black and white. His complete body tone spicy orange, red model useful for defending DeZir. This color is different shades of materials both inside and outside the vehicle.
A completely soaked interior warmth and lightness
The orange theme was carried into the cabin also highlights fluorescent chosen a constant stream of light. "My main inspiration was the human body, outdoor sports and urban style," explains the color and trim designer, Kana Watanabe. "I wanted to capture to radiate heat and momentum."
Net internal Renault has designed an inviting and passenger-friendly. The impression of lightness is expressed as a dominant front again with the front seats, center console, as if suspended in midair. The interior is simple and clean with no equipment needed. Inventive and innovative materials have been recruited for designers to play with light effects and optical. Center console, door casings and trim are formed using a translucent, almost like a second skin. Front of the cabin, this includes a glimpse of high-tech fiber ropes, luminous in places that have been used in most of the cabin.
"The whole interior is designed around this network of elastic cord stretched that reminds the world of sailing and climbing, you use the graphics and lighting to set the pace in the overall design and to reinforce the feeling vehicle dynamics, while ensuring a feeling of lightness in the cabin, "says interior designer, Magali Gouraud citizens.
Aluminum pedals, heated front seats carbon-style leather steering wheel hub and trimmed with textured gray reaffirm the sporty design, written according to the original.
The vehicle is a multipurpose space where the bridge is lined with three layers of cable:
Stretched wires are arranged in such a way that allows objects to be protected, which offers modular storage;
They also provide an opportunity for relaxation thanks to the elasticity of the flexible structure. This is a new kind of comfort, a new form of living like a hammock.
Finally, it is possible to pull the back seat of the car to provide two full-size rear seats with seat belts and head restraints. This allows you to capture to accommodate four passengers.
A filter that is highly innovative performance and light on fuel
Renault CAPTUR energy uses dCi 160 twin-engine turbo-concept, developed from the new energy dCi 130. Downsizing is a key element in the strategy of Renault to achieve its stated goal of being a leading car manufacturer in Europe in terms of CO2 emissions. The range of electric vehicles will run together with models of internal combustion engines that combine performance with lower fuel consumption. Energy dCi 160 turbo fits perfectly into this strategy. It produces 118 kilowatts (160 horsepower) with a capacity of 1.6 liters - a specific output of 100 hp per liter. Maximum torque (380 nm) is available from just 1,750 rpm, giving a powerful acceleration at low revs, and the refined performance in all driving conditions. Associated with a gearbox with double clutch EDC, this transmission promises to behave very nicely with CO2 emissions of 99 grams per kilometer.
Capture performance of Renault is further strengthened by the RX2 ®, a new system that improves traction at low speed. If one of the two drive wheels lose traction, this brand new mechanical locking differential, the transfer of all or a portion of engine torque to the wheel with more grip. Driving on slippery roads and paths remains flexible and easy.
Renault CAPTUR also marks the debut of Visio-system, an innovation that uses a camera mounted on the forward top of the windshield to provide driver assistance functions. This new technology is capable of integrating computer graphics real-time image of the route displayed on a central screen, which is the principle of augmented reality to improve the driver's perception of the outside world by the superposition of specially designed items. The system helps reduce the stress of driving, a relaxed, comforting ride.

MODIFIKASI Renault DeZir Concept.
MODIFIKASI Renault DeZir Concept.
Paris Motor Show 2010 in a minute, big carpet at the "country fashion" will be held beginning next October. Welcome this great event, car manufacturers have competed to make their concept cars. One of them carried out by Renault Renault would bring DeZir Concept.
DeZir Concept is an electric-powered cars with unique designs. Rounded lines and dynamic design but still looks sporty which is characteristic of a sports car. "Beginning my inspiration comes from the sensation fliuda or liquids. Such as wave motion, "said Yann Jarsalle, one of the crew who served as the exterior design DeZir styling.
In the process of manufacture, the car that applying this unique gullwing doors use the cover body is made of kevlar. Famous Kevlar material lighter and stronger. While the framework made of tubular steel that is similar to that used for racing cars.
Sporty design and materials and structure of the body like a racing car to be redundant if performance bad. But this has been considered by the Renault designer team that uses an electric motor with a power output reached 150 dk and torque to 226 Nm. With this specification, can be invited DeZir accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in just 5 seconds.
To be able to drive an electric motor has prepared a lithium-ion batteries are located behind 24kWh benchseat and able to be used travel distances up to 161 kilometers. Battery charging any way interesting, there are three options.

Renault Koleos crossover to be launched this weekend
Local Renault distributor TC Euro Cars held a media preview of its Koleos crossover hours ago, ahead of the 4X4’s public launch this weekend. The Koleos is the French brand’s first true SUV and it sits in the Honda CR-V mid-size category (overall length of 4520 mm is identical to the Honda’s, but 2690 mm wheelbase is 70 mm longer).
The Koleos is a product that draws the best out of the Renault-Nissan Alliance – drivetrain and 4X4 system from Nissan; design, ride, handling and ergonomics from Renault; manufactured by Renault-Samsung in Busan, Korea for its relatively lower cost.
The Koleos is a product that draws the best out of the Renault-Nissan Alliance – drivetrain and 4X4 system from Nissan; design, ride, handling and ergonomics from Renault; manufactured by Renault-Samsung in Busan, Korea for its relatively lower cost.
The Koleos is powered by a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine with 170 bhp and 226 Nm of torque paired to a CVT with six virtual ratios – good for a 0-100 km/h time of 10.3 seconds and a 188 km/h top speed. The decision to source this particular pairing from Nissan is a good move as the Japanese company makes some of the best CVTs in town (we’d prefer it over a French auto ‘box!), not to mention that in general, customers in our market seem to trust Japanese engines better. The official combined fuel consumption figure is 10.5 km/l. Would be better with Renault’s fine 2.0 dCi engine, but that won’t come anytime soon, and you know the reason why.
The chassis of the Koleos is modified from the second-gen Nissan X-Trail (not sold here), which is pretty decent off-road for its kind. This, plus the fact that the Renault also gets the X-Trail’s All-Mode 4X4-i system means that the Koleos should be better off the beaten path than many of its classmates although it doesn’t look the part.
Instead of transferring torque to the rear wheels only when slip is detected, All-Mode 4X4-i “predicts” the moment AWD grip is required by measuring lateral and side acceleration, yaw rate, steering angle and accelerator pedal position among other parameters, and divides torque accordingly even before ESP intervenes. That’s the default Auto mode; you can also choose 2WD (front-wheel drive) or Lock mode, where torque is split 50:50 between axles. Also beneficial is Hill Descent Control and Hill Start Assist – the latter prevents backward movement on inclines of 10% and above.
While much of the hardware is from Nissan, the interior is appointed like a Continental model, with some clever French touches such as the lever in the boot that folds flat the split rear seats when you pull it. Other comfort and convenience features include airplane style fold down “tables”, chilled glovebox, B-pillar air vents for the rear passengers, three rows of flat folding seats, a split tailgate that you can sit on (max load 200 kg) and two 5-litre secret “lockers” under the rear floor. All very thoughtful. Equipment include an 8-speaker Bose stereo as used in the Infiniti FX, ABS/EBA/ESP, six airbags, cruise control, auto headlights and wipers, auto parking brake, dual-zone climate control and start/stop button, among others. An optional panaromic sunroof is available for RM9,000. The most important safety “feature” is also here – a five-star Euro NCAP rating. For all the above, one needs to pay RM213,149.19 on the road excluding insurance. To touch and feel the Koleos, head down to its public launch this Saturday, March 13 at Bangsar Village, Kuala Lumpur.

Renault Megane Coupe Concept, 2008
Renault Megane Coupe Concept, 2008
The Renault has chosen the Geneva Motor Show to take the wraps off its Mégane Coupé Concept show car which foreshadows a compact production coupe to be released at a later date. Like New Laguna, it points to an evolution towards more fluid, sportier styling from Renault. Renault Mégane Coupé Concept targets drivers who are not only drawn by the notion of driving pleasure but who also seek to express their personality through their vehicle. Mégane Coupé Concept symbolizes Renault's vision of what a genuine compact sports coupe should deliver, namely character and dynamism, two traits epitomized by the show car's unprecedented door-opening kinematics.
Distinctive looks that exude personality and dynamism
The Renault Mégane Coupé Concept provides a foretaste of the forthcoming Mégane Coupe. "This show car emphatically showcases the evolution at Renault Design. Its squatter proportions and powerful, energetic styling talk directly to the driver's senses; they say 'driving pleasure'. The spectacular, unprecedented door-opening kinematics add that little touch of magic which contributes to the dream factor associated with the automobile," explains Renault's Patrick Le Quément, Senior Vice President, Corporate Design. Of a total length of 4.51 metres, Renault Mégane Coupé Concept features a modern, dynamic silhouette with taut lines that seem to suggest perpetual movement, while its alert, expressive front-end looks point at once to a truly dynamic personality.The juxtaposition of headlamp modules with aluminium-finish air-intakes also conveys an impression of fluidity and movement. The two rows of main and dipped beam lights sit on a crystal-like striated strip which fills the sidelight and daytime running light functions.
The headlamps use high-performance light-emitting diodes which are both long-lasting and extremely efficient. The foglamps also employ LED technology and blend harmoniously with the dynamic, front-end styling.
The shoulder-lines flow along the curvaceous sides before culminating in a squat rear-end which expresses power and movement.
The boot, which pulls open and then lifts to minimize vertical travel, echoes the kinematics of the doors which are divided into two sections. The panelled door itself is topped by a separate glazed area and, as they open, the two parts deploy gracefully and elegantly in an independent movement redolent of dragonfly wings. A carbon arm at the rear of the doors connects them to the body structure and the system ensures particularly easy access for passengers.
The cabin: a compelling extension of the exterior's dynamic voluptuousness
The interior is redolent of the world of contemporary furniture. The independent, asymmetric front seats, which rise up from the sills, seem to float in midair. Their wafer-like forms express an airy lightness, while their enveloping design is a pledge of comfort and holds the occupants firmly in place. The aperture revealed by the open doors carries over to the front seat shells and the upper part of the two rear seats.This sculptural, one-piece structure, which is finished in fire red lacquer, ensures a seamless link between the exterior and the cabin. The centre console extends through to the rear seats and its layered design recalls the striated bar of the headlamp modules.
The choice of colours and materials is another means by which the exterior and interior have been harmonized to highlight Renault Mégane Coupé Concept's volumes and magic.
The iridescent Dragon Grey body-colour goes well with the dragonfly-like door-opening mechanism and the paintwork's rainbow finish gives a fresh vision of the car every time the light changes: even at a standstill, it appears to be in movement. Meanwhile, the interior's contrasting colour-scheme underpins the dynamic exterior thanks to the blend of fire red lacquer (dashboard, upper part of the centre console, front seatbacks, etc.) and softer black leather or nubuck for the door panels, seat cushions and centre console). The door panels themselves incorporate supple, slide-locking stowage, while the floor is protected by a black, modern, graphic mesh.
The cabin equipment is modern and intuitive
The different controls have been inspired by the Renault-pioneered Touch Design approach and are both simple and practical. The central multimedia control is coupled with a display divided into three zones. The central part displays all journey-related information (navigation, radio, music, video, Bluetooth telephone), while the screens either side show the images relayed by cameras incorporated in the exterior mirrors. Renault Mégane Coupé Concept is locked and unlocked using a Samsung F700 mobile phone which serves as a hands-free card and connects to the centre console. Both rear passengers benefit from a portable Samsung P2 audio/video multimedia player with touch screen which they can use to swap files using the mp3/video Bluetooth controls.The four-zone climate control system allows each passenger to select the temperature they prefer using controls housed either side of the dashboard in the case of the front passengers or on the front seatbacks for rear occupants.
Special care has also gone into ensuring that the cabin is brightly lit. The red backlighting of the instruments contrasts with the surrounding black backgrounds. Meanwhile, the panoramic windscreen extends over the roof to provide additional clarity during the day and blue-hued cabin lighting at night.
A show car dedicated to passion and driving pleasure
Renault Mégane Coupé Concept's generous bumper, wide, low grille and alveolar air-intake point to the presence of a high-performance powerplant under the bonnet.Indeed, Renault Mégane Coupé Concept is powered by a 200hp (147kW) 2.0 Turbo petrol engine which delivers torque of 280Nm at 2,600rpm and peak power of 200hp at 5,800rpm to ensure punch and flexibility at all engine speeds for everyday motoring pleasure. Mated to a manual six-speed gearbox, the 2-litre turbocharged unit drives Renault Mégane Coupé Concept from a standstill to 100kph in just 7.2 seconds, yet it returns economical fuel consumption of just 6.5 litres/100km (154g of CO2/km).
Renault Mégane Coupé Concept is a compact, stylish, dynamic coupe which delivers undeniable driving pleasure, while its sporty calling is also expressed by its modern, elegant cabin. This show car, which builds on the trend established by Laguna Coupé Concept, sees Renault take its will to dial genuine passion into its cars yet another step forward.
