Technical characteristics of Renault Captures 1.6 Variator. Renault Kaptur with a variator - the first test drive. Renault Capture with Automatic Transmission

Sales Renault Captures with the variator started in September

At the time of the Great Patriotic War, the Soviet command was twice formed a backup front, in order to have fresh strengths in the turning point of battles. And here Renault Kaptur.? Moreover, the front-wheel drive version with a motor 1.6 and the variator was thrown in the spring, but now, in September. After all, it is coming Hyundai Creta.!

What is good front-wheel drive with a variator? Price! If Renault Captures with a two-liter 143-strong engine and automata costs a minimum of 1 million 100 thousand rubles (in many ways because it is mandatory all-wheel drive), then two-week Kaptur 1.6 with an engine with a capacity of 114 hp. In the same configuration, Drive can be taken in 980 thousand (see Prices and configuration). Hooray?

If you do not hurry anywhere in life - definitely. We measured the true acceleration dynamics of the variator version of the Renault Capture at the Dmitrov Polygon: Acceleration up to 100 km / h requires long 14.5 seconds. Even 105-strong Skoda Yeti. With the "automatic", which we were complained for lethargy, accelerates to "hundreds" faster - in 14.2 seconds. And if you upload four saddles in the variator Renault Renault trap and throw 50 kg of ballast in the trunk, then the set of 100 km / h is stretched to 18.2 seconds!

It is good that the variator allows the machine to cancel the gas pedal, - not for nothing, Renault engineers spent so many forces to reconfigure the Jatco JF015E unit, since 2009 known to others models Nissan., RENAULT, MITSUBISHI, SUZUKI.

First, they taught a stepless transmission ... Masked for a regular box, going through eight fixed gear ratios. What for? In order to get rid of the unpleasant "hangs" of the rotor of the motor in one note, whether the "stepbecie" works, already when the gas pedal is more than a third of the stroke. Dynamics of Renault Capture does not add it, but more emotions.

And secondly, the Capture Variator does not tupit when repeatedly pressing the accelerator. He slowed down in front of the "lying police", added gas - and the car accelerates immediately.

The selector selection of modes of variator Renault Captures is exactly the same as on a two-liter car with automatic machine

If you go with the steady speed, the variator selects the smallest gear ratio, forcing the motor to work on a minimally resistant in the traction mode 1300-1500 rpm. Even a light vibration appears. But it is worth drowning the accelerator half - and after a moment on the tachometer already 3000 rpm, and Kaptur accelerates without unnecessary delays.

As a result, after two days of driving in Moscow and the region, I "brought" the average consumption of 8.2 l / 100 km according to the expirations of the flightcomputer. True, when measurements at the landfill in our sufficiently torn ride cycle ARDC consumption has already been 10.3 l / 100 km - approximately like classmates with "automata". So if you want to save - again do not rush.

And how the variator will behave in heavy conditions? Riding on dirt and sand passed without surprises: Renault Captures confidently rides until the tire coupling properties are enough. Front drive simply does not allow to achieve critical loads on the transmission. Then - in the mountains! More precisely, artificial lifts with solid coating. On a 30 percent - no problems: KAPTUR is easily touched by the support of the Hill Start Assist system. Now 40 percent, it is about 22 degrees, too. The selector in the manual mode, the first pseudo-stand, stop, start ... The front wheels after light slipping closed, gas pedal in the floor, on the tachometer 2500 rpm - we are going. But after a couple of seconds, turns fall, and Renault Captures stops! Everything worked the thermal protection. Watch: No messages on the instrument combinations, no check light bulbs. And in the instructions on this score nothing is said.

However, it is better to repair the variator, more precisely, its hydrotransformer: it is it that allows you to move into a steep rise at low speed. What are the consequences of overheating? The car stood a couple of minutes - and the transmission works again in normal mode.

By the way, it is possible to overload the torque converter and without any lifts: if you tried to take a "in the forehead" for a long time on a high curb. You just don't need to do this - quite a little deploy the car so that one wheel will be called first, then the second.

Summary? Variator Renault Capture is suitable and the townspeople are or rather, the townspeople, and those who drive through the countrys. But whether the backup front will help, is it better to Creta with a 1600-cubic engine and "automatic"? We will try to check in the very near future.

Reviews of owners Renault Captures see

Is the Renault Capture Variator reliable?

The JF015E variator appeared in 2009 (also known under the Nissan index RE0F11A) - the second generation of Jatco variators, and occurs on cars Nissan., Renault, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Chevrolet.

Like the predecessor of the Jatco JF011E of the 2005 sample, this variator calculated for the variator with a hydrotransformer, planetary transmission and three friction packages are able to withstand 200-250 thousand kilometers, practically no less inferior in durability.

The main thing is to treat carefully. First, you need to protect the variator of the Renault Capture from overheating and follow the purity of its heat exchanger. Secondly, do not forget that the variator cannot tolerate dirty oil, - change liquid It follows at least once every 70 thousand kilometers. And when the jokes appear - immediately.

And thirdly, remember: the Renault Captures variator (although this is true for the harassment of variators) much more sensitive "automaton" refers to the manners of its owner and road conditions. For example, his age significantly reduces not only torn active ride, but also a long crawling in the oppatics: the lower the speed, the greater the gear ratio, the belt is bent as much as possible and, accordingly, it is faster. And most importantly, the variator does not complain the sharp stop of the rotation of the wheels - for example, when the hook after slipping or when stamping into the curb. From this, a chain reaction can be launched: First, the checked belt leaves serfs-scratches on the surface of the pulleys, and then those are accepted to gnaw the belt, the first thing was washing a thin notch of the working surface. As a result, the variator begins to slip when accelerated, especially on the loaded car, and the accumulating belt wear products will certainly affect the health of the valve block, reduction valve Oil pump and, as a result, the pressure of the working fluid.

Renault Kaptur is a city crossover, completing power plantswhich have an optimal power supply, such as a version of a car with a 1.6 liter engine and 114 engine horse power. The car is completed with the variator, works on gasoline fuel. Drive for this foreign car front. The carton of the Variator is often found on the car of Japanese production.

Advantage of Acquisition Renault Kaptur with CVT

Box of variator

What is the reliability of the variator? Kaptur CVT is a common vehiclewhich accelerates to one hundred about 13-14 seconds. The car is great for ride over rough terrain, its clearance exceeds 200 mm. The variator provides smooth ride, makes decent competition with automatic and mechanical gearbox. Due to the presence of anterior drive, the minimum load on the transmission system is noted.

How much fuel is consumed? For each cycle, the indicator is characteristic. In particular, with ride in the city cycle, 8.6 liters are spent at 100 km, about 7 liters. Consisted in a mixed cycle. Minimum 6 liters leave when driving on the highway.

In order for the vehicle to promiscoun as much as possible, the Renault Captures with the variator should be operated according to a specific rules. When arriving in Mount, the motorist may face the machine, the car will be hard to rise, after which it stalls, as the turns are falling. This is explained by the fact that the system, experiencing load, activates special protection against overheating. On the complex relief, caboats with the variator shows decent indicators.

The box reacts perfectly to change the thrust. It automatically sets optimal parameters Speed. It all depends on the engine load. In price ratio it is more profitable to purchase a Capture model with a variator rather than with a machine gun.

Jatco JF015E / CVT X-Tronic Box

Jatco JF015E / CVT X-Tronic

The Jatco JF015E box on this version of the car provides an effective stepless change in the gear ratio. Changing speeds occur quickly. In the cabin of the car with such a box there is excellent acoustically comfort. The basis of Jatco JF015E is a belt and conical pulleys. The speed set occurs smoothly, there are no roars and shocks. This is a distinctive feature of all variators.

The installation on the Capture model is maintained as CVT X-Tronic, where there is a two-stage planetary transmission. CVT X-TRONIC is not peculiar to small engines. The average resource of this transmission reaches 150,000 miles. As soon as this mark has been overcome, the repair and restoration operations of the automotive system are required, which can be concluded in the replacement of individual components of spare parts, suppliesbelonging to the gearbox.

Possible CPP problems

It should be noted that the loss of the movement dynamics can be directly related to the fact that the filtering elements are clogged or washing is necessary throttle valve. The appearance of jerks during the commissioning may be due to the fact that transmission oil Lost his work properties, contaminated wear products. For the model, the capture with the variator is suitable for using such a fluid as Nissan NS-3. For full replacement It takes about 10 liters. Changes this oil Approximately every 60000 km of mileage.

Among the state employees, the versions with stepless transmission are available mainly from Chinese producers, not counting two representatives of Alas. We are talking about Renault Kaptur and Nissan Qashqai.who are equipped with the same CVT X-TRONIC variator. The "Frenchman" works only in a tandem with a 1.6-liter 114-strong engine exclusively in the front-wheel drive. A four-frame hydromechanical "Automatic" DP8B is offered in the top modification of Kaptur 4x4 with a 2.0-liter engine with a capacity of 143 liters. from.

The first economy version is worth a minimum of 984,990 rubles, the price of the second starts from 1 179 990 "wooden". The difference is 195,000, which will agree, a very impressive amount. So those who do not represent themselves at the wheel of the machine with the "mechanics", when buying a French crossover, get up before a serious choice.

Dye lovers, seduced by a more powerful 2-liter 143-strong engine, should be prepared to overpay for the full drive system and extra 115 kg of car mass. At the same time, as an automatic transmission, an archaic unit is offered, the history of which has decades.

In the distant past, he was known as DP0, then the French updated it, calling DP2, and quite recently "heal" to DP8 - in fact, all this can be considered typical restyards. But the "automatic" is still limited to four steps, which is in our time, agree, unforgivable "luxury".

It is not to be surprised that in comparison, such a transmission acts on the "Frenchman" as a strait shirt. And at the first attempts to properly, it becomes clear right away: the motor can, but the "box" does not want. Therefore, so that he will quickly accelerate, it is literally begging. In response to manipulation of the accelerator, the box before accepting some solution, it will think well, and after the delay reacts a nervous jerk.

Due to the illogical algorithm for switching gear to such a "machine" you have to listen, but it is difficult to count on a complete understanding. How not to try to dispense gas, from twigs when changing the range is not going anywhere. On stretched gears, the motor tries to fame, and if the "Frenchman" does not strain with sharp accelerations, he is quite a conspiract.

In principle, you can call for help manual mode, but then why overpay 50,000 for such? After all, the two-liter crossover is available with a normal sixdia band "mechanics".

However, surely there will be convinced sloths who buy such a "capture" to use the reasonable "automatic" in the traffic jam, and on the track will be "lit" on manual mode. As practice shows, the resource of such a box provided timely replacement Oil is 150,000 km.

As it turned out, even the most powerful Kaptur is sharpened under a calm and measured ride, so lovers to "burn" will understand it with difficulty.

As for the X-TRONIC variator, it is well known mainly for a number. In essence, the unit is upgraded japanese box Jatco JF015E. A stepless transmission during acceleration mimics eight fixed gear ratios. And in manual mode, six pseudoconds are used.

Of course, in terms of the dynamics, this option "Capture" is far from the best alternative to the four-stage "automata": if the top crossover accelerates to 100 km per hour in 11.2 seconds, the version with the variator - for 12.9.

But the latter has one valuable advantage: when the X-TRONIC is accelerated, it works without jerks, and the gas pedal reacts operational. A small pause at the kick-down dowver, it is then smooth and smooth. Racing arrows on the tachometer are not at all accompanied by failures and precipitations. At the same time, the resource of the box in practice is all the same 150,000 km.

With regard to efficiency, there is also a small plus - Kaptur with CVT really "eats" on a liter-two less than version with "automatic". So tandem 116-strong motor and stepless X-TRONIC looks much balanced. Also, rapid acceleration, but it is quite predictable and logical in contrast to modification with the "automatic".

Nevertheless, if even gambling "riders" consider the purchase option Renault Kaptur, most likely they will fit the version with "Mechanics". Main competitor The French crossover, the leader of the Hyundai Creta segment in this sense looks attractive, due to a six-speed "automaton", which works nullly in a tandem with a 2.0-liter motor with a capacity of 150 liters. from. On the other hand, Renault Kaptur has an impenetrable energy-intensive suspension, which will give a solid to the Koreans. And lovers of off-road, which ate on the all-wheel drive "Capture" will have to choose between the "automatic" and "mechanics". Recall that the full drive system is based on

Happy New Renault Kaptur Permanent readers "Engine" are already familiar. Not so long ago in Sochi and the surrounding area, we have already checked in the case two versions of the crossover: 2.0-liter all-wheel drive and 1,6-liter with front-wheel drive. This time, on the streets of St. Petersburg, as well as the highway and primline Leningrad region, we have experienced a new modification of Kaptur, to which in Renault lay special hopes: 1.6 CVT - with front-wheel drive and variator.

This version of the car in the Russian representation Renault announced immediately as soon as Kaptur was officially represented in the Russian Federation. And from the very beginning, they stated that it should be hardly the most popular in the line of modifications of the crossover. First, it is the most affordable two-week version of the Capture (from 979,000 rubles at the time of the publication of the material), and secondly, the car is positioned, first of all, as the city crossover. And the resident of the metropolis, it seems like, and nothing to do a large volume and all-wheel drive transmission - not requiring permanent work The left foot of the gearbox in urban is more relevant.

To begin with - a couple of words about the variator itself. Constructively, this is a box developed by Jatco, which is known, in particular nissan crossovers under the name X-Tronic. The "trained" variator imitate gear shifting: in automatic mode, the box is asked as much as eight virtual "steps", six of them are available in the manual driver. Based on those who, even on the front-wheel drive crossover with a small motor, will regularly ride under load, installed an additional cooling circuit to protect against overheating.

Renault marketers offered for Kaptur stylish individualization packages - a huge rarity in the mass segment. The calculation is understandable to young people and, of course, the beautiful half of humanity.

In addition to the bright color scheme and a separate roof color, you can wrap almost the entire car with orange strokes of the Ultra Energy Pack. In addition, there are still stickers on the same roof and the Orange package to decorate the interior. Not counting the surcharges for the main color, the total orange decor will cost 52,970 rubles. However, it can be ordered separately.

The French, according to their own words, did not simply borrow a box from the partners in the Alliance, and modernized her for their own needs and the concept of Kaptur crossover as a "urban fighter". In particular, the reaction time is minimized to press the accelerator pedal, especially repeated after the gas reset. And the mode of simulation of switching gear is activated when the gas pedal is pressed by more than a third. The algorithm of the work of the variator, the word was developed with the direct participation of Russian Renault engineers. What they do not get tired to emphasize in the Russian representative office of the company.

Does the French and their Russian colleagues realize the conceived? In general - yes: Driving Kaptur 1.6 CVT is quite adequate to its power and mass. But in the parties ... No wonder the devil from Goethe spoke by Foust: "Such the theory, my friend, and the tree of life flourishes!" For it lies, as usual, in detail.

In the urban time, in a dense stream, moving at a speed, fluctuating from 20 to 60-80 km / h, Kaptur really not bad. We will not speak dynamic, but for the pedal, the car should be quite willing. However, it is necessary to break out about the operational space, how questions begin.

The first of them concerns the acceleration time at speeds over ordinary urban. Kaptur 1.6 CVT and from the spot is not "Rimmer", and on the track Oversight you need to count doubly carefully. In order to quickly and safely make a maneuver, you need to let go of the overtaken car forward a little forward and starting to buy the accelerator pedal, still being on my lane, - so that the "oncoming" is already leaving the pedal in the floor. Otherwise, you can face traditional variator behavior: you give - you hear the roar of the motor first and only a second of a second you feel the desired pickup. As practice shows, it is precisely these stakes and not enough ...

In the city, the explicit adaptability of the box under the driving manner is not always "on the cashier": you get over the forty of the traffic jams - after you get sluggish acceleration, if necessary, vigorously accelerate. And the Sport-mode has no transmission - only manual.

In general, the traditional feature of the variators, despite the management algorithm modernized by the Russian specials, in the Capture CVT X-Tronica was obvious: to consider Kaptur with a stepless transmissance by a dear kidnapper of urban tranquility.

If you go through the free country track with a more or less constant speed, the capture on the variator pleases and comfort (working about 2000 rpm engine is not inclined to "put on the ears"), and efficiency: in the specified mode, fuel consumption is easy to "put" Not only in the average "passport" 7.1 liters, but also at 6.8 liters per 100 km. By the way, the crossover with a motor 1.6 and "mechanics" the claimed consumption above: 7.4 liters per hundred.

What is the result?

IN renault. The new Kaptur 1.6 CVT was very accurate: this, expressing a motorcycle language - "Street": very bright and successful, but in motion an emotionally balanced conqueror of urban streets, requiring "swinging" by the accelerator to justify a rather loud rank.

At the same time, it is not contraindicated on the nature of nature! Moreover, it is outside the city and you understand that the words of representatives of Renault that Kaptur is not just adapted, but created for Russia, it is, as they say, fact, not advertising. On a broken settlement, who did not know what a grader, since the time of the king of pea, not to mention the relatively smooth gravel, the energy-intensive suspension of the crossover works in the best traditions of the kindred duster, as if the French created Kaptur not only for Russian cities, but also amateur rally for their limits. Here would have four more leading wheels for complete harmony! And such a version is already preparing to exit russian market. Renault Kaptur 1.6 AWD, wait for you! ..

Renault Kaptur with a variator - the first test drive
We first tried the new modification of the popular crossover Renault Kaptur and are ready to answer the main question - whether she will meet expectations of future owners.

For Renault in Russia, the new Kaptur crossover became invented: since June managed to sell three thousand copies, and the orders were already collected 15,000! At the same time, 80% of customers are new, who did not have owned by cars of the French brand. But the most interesting thing is that almost half of the buyers chooses the flagship version with a two-grade 143-strong engine, a four-stage automatic machine and fully drive. However, in September, marketers assure, preferences will change - a Kaptur was on sale with a variator and a junior 1.6-liter engine. Yes, at its disposal only 114 "horses" and monoprifer, but also the price below: from 979,990 rubles against 1 099 990. In Renault, it is believed that the output of this modification will allow you to double sales.

Renault Kaptur is now available with the variator, but only in combination with the junior engine with a working volume of 1.6 liters.

At first I thought that a new version For me, the discovery will not be: the engine tandem with a working volume of 1.6 liters in a pair with the Jatso variator has long been known for models Renault. And Nissan. As in some other concern cars, the variator imitates an eight-propelled automatic machine - switches virtual transmissions, eliminating the engine from hanging on one revolutions (for this, the gas pedal must be squeezed by at least 30%). There is a variator and manual mode - when moving into it, the transmission becomes already "six-speed".

The interior is good. Unlike the Lace Salon, there are no frank budget decisions in it.

How does this affect the dynamics? Honestly, the car accelerates without much enthusiasm. According to the passport, the first hundred variator capture will exchange for 12.9 seconds. According to my measurements, at least 13.8 came out. In the dynamic Moscow stream, sometimes lacking - it is and then it is necessary to squeeze the pedal to the floor. Only after 3500 rpm acceleration becomes more or less energetic. But in the sluggish movement, the variator is good - adequately reacts to the change in thrust and does not irritate the thoughtfulness and jerks, which the version is sinned with a machine gun.

Swinging the lever to the left, use manual switching mode. In total, the transmission is six quasiper.

I lured on off-road. On the complex relief, Kaptur CVT did not flatte: confidently went to the steep rise in the grader and quietly started after the stop on them - thanks to the Hill Start Assist system. But when I started storming the sandy mountain, Renault a few seconds of the struggle surrendered: I threw the engine speed and stopped: I worked for protection against overheating - there is no separate radiator here. The company believes that for the front-wheel drive car, which is sharpened to ride on the asphalt, there is no need for it. I rolled back, stood a minute with the engine off and drove into the plain.

On the slopes, the variator kaptur is closed hard - the transmission does not like high loads.

In the city, Captura's passability is enough for his eyes. How-no 204 mm road Suit And short enough skes. So even high borders for him do not become an insurmountable obstacle - the main thing is to avoid high load on the transmission not to attack them simultaneously with two wheels. Drove at an angle, and order.

The direct variator does not annoy the engine monotonous hum, and skillfully imitates the work automatic box Transmissions.

According to the results of the test, I had only one claim - lacking dynamics. One hundred fourteen forces by the variator capture is not always enough. A two-stage automatic version is assumed. Such a capture manifested himself in our recent comparative test with major competitors in the market. However, if you won the "traffic lights" for you, it's not the main thing, then the 1.6-liter version with the variator will have to the yard.
