Exterior Design
The exterior design is a feature that often influences the decision to buy a SUV rather than another.
Renault Captur: Elegant and Refined
The Renault Captur stands out for its elegant and refined design, which was renovated in the second generation to make it even more attractive. The front is dominated by a large, very particular grille (renovated with the latest restyling), flanked by thin and aggressive LED headlights that give the car a modern and gritty appearance. The side profile of the Captur is characterized by a high waistline and a compact shape, with a slight inclination of the roof towards the rear, which gives it an athletic appearance. The dimensions are perfect for the compact SUV segment: neither too large to be bulky, nor too small to compromise practicality. The restyling of the Captur 2024 has brought a more aggressive and modern look. The front features slim LED headlights and a redesigned grille, while the rear features new taillights and a redesigned bumper.
Peugeot 2008: Sporty and Muscular
The Peugeot 2008 has undergone a significant transformation in its second generation, adopting a much sportier and more muscular design than in the past. The front is characterized by a large grille with colored and bright segments with the lion logo in the center and LED headlights that feature the typical three-claw light signature, now a distinctive sign of Peugeot. The side lines of the 2008 are decisive and well-marked, with pronounced wheel arches that give it the appearance of a true SUV. The high waistline and the slightly tapered shape towards the tail accentuate the feeling of dynamism. The rear is also characterized by LED headlights with the three-claw signature and a diffuser that underlines the sporty soul of the vehicle. The Peugeot 2008 is known for its bold and sporty design. The sharp lines and distinctive light signature make it instantly recognizable.
