All models from the Zen up (incl. Intens, R.S. Line) now receive adaptive cruise control with stop/go as standard equipment, previously a $500 option.
The new Captur R.S. Line is the second model after the Arkana in the local line-up to offer the sporty trim level, which is similar to various ‘Sport Line’ packages offered by countless brands and their performance sub-divisions.
Overseas, the related Clio hatchback also offers an R.S. Line trim level with similar appointments.
