In truth, it is a slightly beefed up Clio riding on bigger wheels (16 or 17-inch depending on spec) and rubber on an elevated ride height (170mm). The Captur is billed as a Crossover which, to be honest, is a more accurate description than SUV, as it blurs the lines between hatchback and miniature SUV more than ever. Renault says the Captur will compete in the small SUV segment, a segment dominated by Ford's EcoSport.
With confirmation of a Duster-based compact double-cab bakkie on the way, the future looks bright for Renault. The new Renault Clio was the first new model in French manufacturer’s product offensive, now joined by the Captur and (hopefully) be bolstered by the larger and very good-looking Kadjar, a Qashqai-sized competitor and (hopefully) replacement for the ill-fated Koleos. Of course, the Renault Sport division caters perfectly to those seeking ultimate hot-hatch thrills. Renault's three-fold strategy has allowed them to plug the bottom end of the market, with the Sandero, Sandero Stepway and Duster combined with a new product offensive to tackle the middle to higher end.

The hybrid – which comes with an automatic gearbox as standard –has equivalent power but is significantly heavier so doesn’t feel especially brisk. It feels a bit stronger on the move, while both of these petrol engines are impressively smooth and quiet. The 155 comes with as the automatic gearbox as standard. Alternatively, you can specify the engine with an automatic gearbox instead.
Captur review manual#
The six-speed manual gearbox you get as standard could be smoother, but it’ll be fine for most people. It’s nice and eager off the mark, so it doesn’t take much effort to get the Captur rolling along. The 130 will be fine for most people, provided they’re not in too much of a hurry. We have, however, experienced the other petrols, both 1.3-litre turbos with either 130- or 155 horsepower. Neither have we tried the entry-level petrol engine yet, a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo with 100 horsepower. The diesels are both 1.5-litre units with either 95- or 115 horsepower, which we haven’t tried yet. The Captur is available with five conventional engines: three petrols and two diesels. All versions except the entry-level car have reversing sensors, however. The driving position has lots of adjustment, but the small back window and thick rear pillars mean rear visibility isn’t all that great. Whichever version you go for, you get a touch-screen infotainment system (the size of which depends on the grade of your car), and while it could be easier to navigate your way around, it looks good, with sharp graphics. The materials look and feel classy, and there’s an appealing mixture of colours and finishes. Quality is another strong point for the Captur’s interior. And, you can drop the rear seats completely for even more space, and they go pretty much flat, giving you a level load area. It’s 422 litres at its minimum, which already makes it one of the biggest in the class, and if you push the sliding rear seats as far forward as they’ll go, this jumps up to 536 litres. The Captur is also one of the roomiest cars in the class, with loads of space in the back seats – more than in most rivals – and a really big boot. It gives you a smooth ride at all times, even on really poor roads. The Captur is one of the more comfortable cars in the small SUV class, and considering these are cars that are used to carry families, that automatically makes it one of the best.
