It was not too long ago that the new BS6 compliant version of the 2020 Renault Captur was spotted testing on foreign soil. It was expected that the French carmaker was planning to launch the new Captur last year but somehow changed their plans and did not launch the new model due to reasons unknown.
Now we have confirmed reports that Renault is working to launch the 2020 Renault Captur BS6 in the coming weeks. Not only that Renault India has already updated its current product range to comply with new and more stringent BS6 emission norms including models such as the Duster, Kwid and the Triber MPV.
