Badge Engineering Unveiled: Renault Captur and Mitsubishi ASX - Same Car, Different Part Prices?
A recent video by "desguacemotocoche" has brought to light the remarkable similarities between the Renault Captur and Mitsubishi ASX models, sparking discussion among automotive enthusiasts and consumers. The video, featuring a representative from the scrapyard, humorously points out that the two vehicles appear to be virtually identical in design, from their headlights and doors to side moldings and taillights. "They've copied everything, even the little molding!" the presenter exclaimed, highlighting the minimal visual distinctions, such as different wheel designs and front grilles. The video further delves into a critical issue for car owners: the cost of replacement parts. Despite the cars' near-identical nature, the presenter revealed a significant price disparity for the same components. For instance, a Renault Captur door was priced at €652, while an identical Mitsubishi ASX door cost €790. Similarly, a fender for the Captur was €923, compared to €760 for the ASX. This discrepancy raises questions about pricing strategies within automotive alliances and their impact on consumers. The presenter also noted that both models share the same 90-horsepower gasoline engine, which, according to her, is known for turbo problems. "To copy even the problematic engine, that's just ridiculous!" she commented, inviting viewers to share their thoughts on car manufacturers sharing designs and the subsequent pricing variations for parts. The video has garnered considerable attention, prompting a broader conversation about badge engineering and consumer value in the automotive industry.
