The Renault Captur has been a popular small SUV ever since it first arrived on the scene in 2013. This second generation model retains the distinctive styling but aims to improve on interior quality and practicality. Is it enough to keep up with rivals like the Ford Puma and Skoda Kamiq though?
On the outside, the Captur features Renault's familiar styling cues like the large logo on the grille and C-shaped LED running lights. The interior has been upgraded with nicer materials and a sliding rear bench for added versatility. There's a good amount of standard equipment across the range too.
Under the bonnet sit a choice of regular petrol or hybrid powertrains. We'd avoid the basic 89bhp petrol as it feels rather sluggish. The punchier 158bhp plug-in hybrid can officially travel around 30 miles on electric power alone, which helps lower running costs. Real-world economy won't be quite as impressive though.
While the Captur handles tidily enough around town, things become less composed at higher speeds. The suspension also struggles to isolate you from poor road surfaces. Rivals like the Skoda Kamiq and Volkswagen T-Roc are more comfortable overall. The steering doesn't inspire much confidence during faster cornering either.
Inside, the driving position gives you a good view of the road ahead. But restricted rearward vision caused by the sloping rear window is an annoyance. Cabin quality is reasonable, if not quite a match for pricier alternatives. Rear passenger space is merely average for the class, so tall adults may find it a little cramped.
With its sliding rear bench pushed forward, the Captur boasts one of the biggest boots amongst its classmates. Yet legroom does suffer as a result. The plug-in hybrid's battery pack cuts capacity considerably too. On the plus side, all models come packed with safety assistance systems.
While the Captur majors on style and affordability, rivals like the Ford Puma and Skoda Kamiq are stronger all-rounders. But if you're tempted by the low starting price and funky looks, it remains a solid if unexceptional choice in the small SUV segment. Test drive before you buy to see if the ride and handling meet your needs.
