Juke crossover. We've been hearing about an answer from
Renault for some time now, and the production
Captur is finally a reality at the
Geneva Motor Show.
Packing what it says is the styling and driving position of an SUV, the configurable interior of a minivan and the driving verve of a small sedan, the Captur is hoping to become a big-volume player in Europe's mushrooming small CUV class that also includes cars like the
