The Renault Captur gains the R.S. Line trim level for the 2021 model year, bringing motorsport-inspired aesthetics to the B-segment SUV on its exterior and interior.

Introduced in its current form in 2019, the introduction of the R.S. Line variant brings a front bumper with an ‘F1 blade’ and honeycomb front grille, while the rear bumper receives diffuser-style trim in grey with dual exhaust outlets. Rolling stock on the Captur R.S. Line is a set of 18-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels with R.S. logos, while the tailgate gets an R.S. Line badge.

The sportier slant of the R.S. Line variant carries through to the interior, where the predominantly black interior is offset by red striping on the seat cushions, along with red contrast stitching. Each air-conditioning vent also receives a single red louvre to match along with carbon-fibre-look dashboard trim, while a black roof liner, perforated leather steering wheel and aluminium pedals complete the R.S. Line interior aesthetic.
