Renault Captur Overview
On first glance, the Captur appears chunkier than the Clio. It's also 100mm higher and 100kg heavier and appears to have some genuine off-road credentials, despite being offered in front-wheel drive form only.
There are three engines on offer, all of them turbocharged. The range kicks off with a 0.9-litre three-pot with 89bhp, a 1.2-litre four-pot with 118bhp and a 1.5-litre 89bhp diesel. All engines do a decent job; however, it's the 1.5-litre diesel which stands out.
On the inside, the Captur is a spacious car with plenty of storage space. There are some neat styling touches too.
Background
The Renault Captur made its debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show and went on sale later that year. It's Renault's first foray into the mini SUV market.
Summary
The Renault Captur is a refreshingly different alternative to the normal mini SUV crossover fare and offers plenty of style, practicality and value. Plus, it's also available with a range of good engines.
