- For: Premium cabin, technology, efficiency
- Against: Some rivals are more spacious, dull to drive
- Verdict: One of the best crossovers in a crowded market
The Renault Captur is one of the most popular compact crossovers in Europe. Indeed, some 1.5 million have been sold since it arrived in 2012.
The second-generation Captur might look like an oh-so-subtle evolution of the old model, but don’t let the familiar styling fool you. Renault has made wholesale changes across the board.
It’s better to drive than before, the cabin feels more upmarket and the touchscreen and safety tech have moved up a level.
What’s more, it’s backed by Renault’s new five-year/100,000-mile warranty.
Prices start from £19,000, but the majority of customers will upgrade to the Iconic version. A pair of 1.5-litre diesels are the most efficient engines, but there are also three petrol options, including a punchy 1.0 turbo.
Some rivals are more spacious, but few can match the Captur’s premium feel, especially at this end of the market.
