Easy Link arrives on the new Captur with the new 9.3 "display, a vertical tablet-oriented towards the driver that includes connectivity with smartphones and the network.

Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard on all versions of EASY LINK starting from the basic 7" model. Renault Captur it uses the 4G SIM to be always connected to the network and start the automatic emergency call.
