2025 Renault Captur will have an electric version

The Renault Captur is, along with the Clio, the French brand’s main bestseller in the European market. This popular B-SUV currently has one of the most varied engine ranges in its category, as it is available in LPG, mild-hybrid (MHEV), hybrid (HEV), and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) versions.

However, Renault could go a step further in its next-generation, because according to the French medium Caradisiac, in its third installment the SUV will only be available as a hybrid (HEV and PHEV) and electric (BEV), eliminating along the way the mild-hybrid and gas variants.

Its arrival in 2025 will coincide with the approval of the new Euro 7 emission regulations, much more restrictive than the current one. The company hopes that thanks to its advanced E-TECH hybrid technology, the Captur can continue to be sold with internal combustion engines until 2030, the year in which Renault will stop selling thermal cars in the old continent to focus on pure electric.

While the Captur HEVs and PHEVs will continue to use the CMF-B modular platform, the BEV model will use its electric derivative, known as the CMF-BEV. This architecture, which will debut a year earlier with the new R5, 4L, and Nissan Micra, will allow a cost reduction of 33% compared to the current ZOE.

The Captur is one of Renault’s most important models

Although it will be slightly larger than the Megane E-TECH Electric, its price will be lower, as the hatchback sits on the more refined CMF-EV platform. Within Renault’s electric SUV offer, the Captur III will be placed between the aforementioned 4L, which will be around four meters long, and the new Scénic, which will go four and a half meters.

CMF-BEV

Since it will use the CMF-BEV platform, it is expected that, like the R5 and 4L, it will use a battery pack with NCM cells of Envision AESC origin. Its autonomy should be around 400 km WLTP. So that the R5, 4L, and Captur do not overlap in their most expensive versions with the Megane E-TECH Electric, it is expected that in a couple of years the latter will lose its EV40 variant (300 km WLTP).

Therefore, by the middle of the decade, Renault’s electric offer will be made up of the R5, 4L, Captur, Megane, and Scénic, to which we should add three Alpine models (a hot hatch, a crossover, and a sports car developed with Lotus ), the second generation of the Dacia Spring and several zero-emission vans.

New KIA e-Niro already has a price in Spain

Image
A few months after its official presentation, KIA opened the order books for the new e-Niro in Spain. The revamped compact SUV, which now sits on the K3 platform already seen in the latest Hyundai Elantra, is slightly longer (6.5 centimeters) than its predecessor and  debuts a completely revamped exterior and interior design . However, mechanically there are not too many changes. The second-generation KIA e-Niro is equipped with a 204 hp (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine coupled to the front axle, thanks to which it can complete the 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Its battery pack will have a capacity of 64.8 kWh, enough to approve a maximum of  463 km WLTP  (its official consumption is 15.9 kWh/100 km), a minimal improvement compared to the 455 km WLTP achieved by its predecessor which tells us that, despite the use of a new platform, the powertrain is likely to be very similar. As for the load, for the moment it has only been revealed that it  will take 43 minutes to go from 10 to 80%  conn

VW thinks price war in China will lead to many bankruptcies

Image
Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Group in China , believes that the electric car market is “overheating”, with high investments and aggressive discounts that could threaten the stability of the sector. In particular, he points out that the pressure to which some manufacturers are subjected could lead to their demise. This situation mainly affects younger brands: according to the manager, many new players will urgently have to seek additional capital investment, or else they will go  bankrupt in the short term .  “We are facing a situation where the market is overheating. The consolidation of the playing field is in full swing. Although without making direct mention of Tesla, Brandstätter  is very critical of the price war that has rocked the Chinese market in recent months .  “Currently, there are more than 120 automakers in the [electric vehicle] market, and around 150 new models will be launched by 2023. Intense competition and high battery prices make them face strong econ
