The Captur is the latest expression of Renault’s long-established pre-eminence in small car design – a stylish, contemporary urban crossover that brings chic looks, versatility, a fun-to-drive character and no-nonsense practicality to one of the fastest-growing areas of the new-car market. The car delivers a blend of the character and ruggedness of an SUV, the space and practicality of an MPV and the dynamics and driving refinement of a family hatchback. The result is a compact, clever package that is fun to drive and live with and inexpensive to own and run. Its appeal starts at first glance: the Captur is a compact but high-riding five-door car that sets itself apart from the pack with its distinctively fluid and muscular bodywork – the latest expression of Renault’s new design language. It is built on the same underpinnings as the fourth-generation Clio, but the platform has been lengthened to create a more spacious cabin and increased load space. Wider tracks also ensure confident, comfortable and stable handling given Captur’s 170mm ground clearance and larger (16-inch and 17-inch) wheels. 3 Exterior – robust stance and muscular lines The Captur has much in common with its bigger sibling, the Kadjar. pronounced in the muscular treatment of the rear quarters.

The rear bench is big enough to accommodate three adults. The boot capacity is among the best in the compact car class. With all seats in place, it ranges from 377 to 455 litres, according to the position of the sliding rear bench. Fold the rear seats flat, and the Captur will swallow an impressive 1,235 litres, if loaded to the roof. Versatility has been the hallmark of generations of Renault’s ground-breaking MPVs, and the Captur benefits from some of this DNA in its detailing, including the multi-position boot floor. The floor panel itself is reversible – carpet on one side; tough, washable rubber on the other for when you need to carry wet kit, pets or muddy boots. Under the boot panel there are two large storage spaces each side of the tyre inflation kit, handy for keeping valuable items hidden from view. Around the cabin there are areas which together provide up to 27 litres of storage. These include a large lidded box in the top section of the dashboard and front door bins that can take bottles up to 1.5 litres. One commonsense innovation introduced with the Captur is Renault’s patented Zip Collection of removable seat covers (depending on version), which can be machine-washed. These make it easier to keep the cabin clean and fresh, even after indulging in the adventurous lifestyle of many customers. Some new fixed upholstery designs are also offered, including two new part-leather upholsteries with heated front seats. 6 Technologies Connected from entry level The Captur is packed with technology designed to make life easier parking camera, plus a Driving Eco2 function to optimise driving and even more enjoyable.
