Emergency brake assist and traffic sign recognition are standard fitment on all Capture trims. All other models get front parking sensors as well as a reversing camera. Visibility is good, although the base Evolution trim only gets rear parking sensors as standard. Thanks to its small dimensions and light controls, the Renault Captur is a doddle to pilot around town. The ride quality isn’t great over rougher road surfaces, and we’d avoid the underpowered entry-level engine In town The Captur is easy to drive around town, and copes well on the motorway.
If you're interested in buying a used Renault Captur then head over to our used deals page. If this sounds like your next small SUV, then head over to our Renault deals pages for the very best Captur deals. Still, it does look great, feels high-quality and offers lots of interior space. So overall, the Captur wows you with its initial style but doesn’t quite match up with the best small SUVs when you scratch beneath the surface. A VW T-Cross is quieter and more comfortable both driving around town and on the motorway, though. More importantly, it steers precisely and feels grippy and stable through turns. The Captur is no thriller to drive, but small SUVs aren’t designed to be.
If you will run your Captur through work and have reliable access to charging then the plug-in hybrid may well prove to be extremely cheap to run, but remember it will cost more to buy. If you drive mainly in town, the 91hp TCe 90 petrol model may just about do the job, but the 140hp mild hybrid costs a bit more and offers significantly better performance, especially on the motorway.
AUTO CAPTUR MANUAL
A six-speed manual is standard on the regular and mild hybrid, while a six-speed auto is fitted to the hybrids. There’s plenty of choice when it comes to the Captur’s engines and gearboxes, with two petrols (one with mild hybrid assistance) as well as self-charging and plug-in hybrid petrol options. Worth noting is that the hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions have smaller boots than the petrols due to the addition of the battery packs. With the seats all the way back to maximise rear legroom, the boot shrinks to 422 litres, which is still competitive with most other alternatives. That means the Captur’s boot, at 536 litres with the seats pushed forwards, is the largest of any small SUV. The Captur has a party trick in the back – its rear bench can slide forwards and backwards as one, trading rear legroom for boot space. With so many small SUVs around these days, the Captur had to grow up fast. A pair of adults will fit in comfortably, although getting a third in might prove tight.

In the back, the Captur is similarly impressive.
AUTO CAPTUR DRIVERS
You won’t have any complaints in the front – drivers of all sizes will be able to get comfy and see out easily. The quality of the materials inside is high – although maybe the Peugeot 2008 just shades it in this respect. Whichever one you choose, the native menus and response times don’t match the better systems in rivals like the VW T-Cross and Skoda Kamiq, and Renault’s digital dials don’t look as good and are less configurable than in other small SUVs, too. All other trims get a larger 9.3-inch portrait touchscreen.
AUTO CAPTUR BLUETOOTH
DAB radio and Bluetooth are standard, too.
AUTO CAPTUR ANDROID
And, because it’s now taller, wider and longer than before, and has more distance between the front and rear wheels, there’s more space for people inside, particularly in the back.Įntry (Evolution) and mid-level (Techno) Capturs get a 7.0-inch portrait infotainment system with built-in sat nav as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can also get navigation through your smartphone. Inside, the Captur has also moved on, getting a new infotainment system, slicker design and upgraded materials. It’s still a Captur, but it looks like it’s been doing some serious training. It’s like comparing a macaron with a digestive – they’re both taken with a cuppa, but the French snack looks more attractive and tastes better.Ĭompared with the first Captur, the current model now has C-shaped LED running lights, LED headlights as standard, a wider grille, redesigned bumpers and larger alloy wheel options. It looks a bit more stylish than conventional alternatives such as the Skoda Kamiq or Volkswagen T-Cross. There are loads of small SUVs to choose from these days, so a car needs to have a little something different, a little je ne sais quoi, to stand out.
