Renault Captur got one time quite a few on the road. Was it the cheapest SUV that time? Also there were news that the new Renault at that time were sharing platform and tech with Nissan.

2013
Renault and Nissan announce their "Common Module Family" plan for low-cost development and manufacturing of vehicles.

The new system is aimed at reducing component costs by 20-30 percent across the alliance. The next year they converge more functions, targeting 10 billion euros ($11 billion) in annual savings by around 2022.


One such thing exists from this is Renault Fluence that is essentially Nissan Selphy underneath. So cars like Capture could be the same as a Juke. A Kaleos could be the same as X-Trail.

People who bought these cars very likely carry the same knowledge or it was disbursed by the sales people.

Somehow the old Renault Megane RS 250 seems to be quite reliable. Compared to the old Megane R26 made before the merger. So some tech transfer was happening. But Japan say Renault stole their tech to make their cars reliable. whistling.gif

But infiniti use mercedes benz engine

Q50 and Q60 also

As for the oily bits, the engine is sourced from Mercedes-Benz, with four cylinders displacing 2.0-litres.
It’s turbocharged to churn a healthy 211 hp and 350 Nm of torque, all of which are sent to the rear wheels via an in-house seven-speed intelligent automatic transmission.

Through Drive Mode Selector (DMS), drivers can choose between four options: Standard, Sport, Personal and Snow.
Autocar reports that Infiniti has chosen not to use Mercedes' MFA2 platform, citing the incompatibility with the next-gen QX50's new VC-T powertrain. Infiniti plans on pushing the variable-compression mill to most of its lineup and not being able to use it in a bread-and-butter model would be detrimental.



"We have a very good relationship with Mercedes," Infiniti head Roland Krueger told Autocar. "In this particular case, we have decided other projects needed to be prioritized and that's what we did."
But now no more sharing technology
But those 2014-2017 car all use benz engine

Out of it came the X Class. Which is a Nissan Navara chassis.
