Renault captured X - Mod - extended range

Although the capture of Renault will not be equipped with four-wheel drive, I will not fear the hollow roads. A few months after its launch, it will be supported by a variant called X - Mod, equipped with a so-called differential lock to help cope with the surfaces of furniture.

In general, the European auto market is in decline. Only a segment is resistant to the low, SUV and 4 x 4. A niche later invested by French brands, which are now in force with compact and affordable models, Peugeot and Renault 2008 capture in mind. As a client of this type of gear Street mainly in two-wheel drive variants, these introduced French are AWD. To improve their motor skills, the lioness must comply with a name 'Grip Control' advanced traction control which, through selective braking, can prevent a roller skate, without cutting the engine's power. Renault, the solution is mechanical. A few months after its launch, the child shall be entitled to a version equipped with a true differential lock, usually reserved for sports (usually on the back) or the franchisseuses (on both axes, or even with a lock).

This feature, referred to during the presentation of the study captured, in 2011 and then called "RX2", partially differential lock every time it detects too large a difference of speed between the two front wheels, history not to send all the available torque to the wheel that turns more easily, i.e., in loss of adhesion. Therefore, you must help the little adventurer of ruts and puddles, providing additional traction in mud. The image of the stage X - Mod, presented at the Geneva Motor Show, this variant will also receive a more demonstrative plastic covers, to distinguish itself from the first glance of their urban sisters.
