Renault Captur 2018 SUV in-depth review | carwow

[@imac331731]

I've had my Captur for 3 1/2 years and its been a lovely car from day one. I have the 1.5 diesel with EDC gearbox. No road noise, no whistling either. Sure the dash material is hard plastic but you don't spend the time you're in the car touching the dash up. The dual clutch auto is as smooth as silk, never feel it changing gear. All these people saying it's an SUV with no offroad ability.... It's not an SUV, it's a compact crossover. Looking forward to getting my next Captur later in the year.

[@SDav21]

imac331731 I think the Peugeot 2008 is a much better vehicle. A 1.6hdi auto is amazing. Looks much better too and has a great interior.

[@ericgeorge5483]

I love my Captur too. Great to drive, very quiet and refined, loads of kit and very comfy.

[@DanielFranc35]

Its a lovely compact crossover, SUV specialy for its price... 16.400€ for 120bhp in Spain.

[@jeffallinson8089]

I have a 2015 Captur with a 5 speed manual and its great. Loads of kit for little money and fabulous to drive.

[@warriorlegend8384]

imac331731 it is nice to drive but it does have its problems especially the 1.5 automatic. On long open road it’s nice but in busy town busy roundabouts it’s not got the power to pull out fast you need a big empty space . Auto def has its problems

[@jeffallinson8089]

I own a 2015 Captur and its excellent. You get tons of kit for your money, its nice to drive and cheap to run!!

[@lindsaywilliamson3098]

The 900cc on the motorway is actually quite good and not had any issues

[@p.h3813]

The BEST car review host I have ever seen! Kudos ... seriously, I was entertained but more importantly he covered so much more than anyone else ... really useful things, too ... thanks

[@dangelovihaan2406]

You all probably dont care at all but does anybody know a way to log back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost the login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.

[@zaviershiloh433]

@Dangelo Vihaan instablaster ;)

[@dangelovihaan2406]

@Zavier Shiloh i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@dangelovihaan2406]

@Zavier Shiloh It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thank you so much you saved my account :D

[@zaviershiloh433]

@Dangelo Vihaan happy to help xD

[@marcschweiz]

4:14 I love how u casually slipped a croissant in there. Does it come with the car!? Hahahaha

[@finnanimates7689]

Well, they’re both french 😅

[@joaopedropaixao9485]

That interior is something you would expect to find on a Dacia.

[@hetpeer4053]

its the same price like a dacia so what

[@codypreston5426]

Renault owns Dacia so that is why (Dacia uses old Renault tech etc)

[@hetpeer4053]

Cody Preston he meant its looks cheap af smh

[@Ksa-jy7eb]

It looks fine to me

[@MrTipperX]

It's a nice and simple interior that works well. No cheaper but simpler than modern VWs in my experience of a rental over three weeks.

[@Hadhoudtn]

From your review I can see that this Captur is basically a high Clio 4...Same driving experience almost same material and design but it's just higher to give you the SUV sensation.

[@ajkorras]

Did he actually have a croissant in the front extra storage lol...

[@urbantraveller3154]

🤣🤣 I kinda noticed that as well

[@natashas.o.6380]

It’s great cos you get really gauge the proportion of the compartment.

[@manisymone8622]

[@vikkimoran2622]

I saw him do one on a polo guess what he had in the glove box 🤣

[@betterbeavailable]

One of the best little SUVs on the market.

[@eshamone8320]

[@williamsswamydas1250]

this video made my day, mat as always nailed it

[@zwxq3]

Pretty fair review actually, although I like the fact that the cruise control isn't mounted on the steering wheel. I never press that button, I just leave it activated all the time.. To have a relatively useless button on the wheel would be even more annoying imo

[@zwxq3]

Can't see why it "should" be on the steering wheel..

[@ZetaReticuli_1]

3:02 You do look like a hostage here...well done Captur

[@kaloyannikolchev5482]

This channel should have a lot more subscribers . Love the videos

[@tachankaop5440]

That start is just 👍

[@Verm89]

It would be really nice if you could list down the alternatives in the video. Thanks for all your videos anyways :)

[@3mariusx]

I do apreciate the build of the wings plastics and the wheels protections also the doors, there it looks like a very good suv

[@howell_124spider]

Good little car. High up so visibility is good and not too slow as it has a turbo. Only issue I've had is that as it is 3 clinder it ticks it's nuts off on idle which can be annoying and our Renault garage said it was normal and nothing they could do about it.

[@dylanadams2565]

I love every single one of your videos. Keep it up man.

[@azerko]

I am very happy with my captur, except for the lousy media system. Driving it in Brazil, it is great to have very large Wheels. That being said I would also love to have the sport mode for my automatic transmission.

[@paulvsmith]

One thing you could add to these reviews is how easy it is to achieve a good driving position.

hope not!

Just a matter of time I guess.

[@plecko187]

3:11 just listen to the sound front doors make and you know what you dealing with..

[@regolasss]

You are so right dude :D I did not notice that horrible sound

[@mihir9608]

plecko187 i dont get what a good or bad sound is can you mention some cars with a nice sound

[@mihir9608]

Jacob Thompson thanks. I hope you get laid

[@TheAvenger62]

The door has a thunk sound instead of a slam sound omg what next indicator sound goes "toc toc" instead of "tic tic" 😂

[@DimoBoychev]

As much as i dont like the car i think it makes that sound coz there is a bottle there

[@BloodMaster104]

It looks exactly the same as the old one.

[@netako]

The "new" model is a lot more reliable and has a much better interior quality though (the early models was filled with cheap hard plastic).

[@amchoo_929]

Djesi BloodMastere!😂

[@tia_smrdi]

@@netako i have the old model. very reliable and one of the most common cars to see on the road!

[@netako]

@@tia_smrdi Well I forgot to mention that a lot of pre-facelift models are now reliable, but the facelifted version already fixed most of its reliability issues. And yeah, it's very popular, it's actually one of the best selling cars in Europe, a lot more and its rivals.

[@tia_smrdi]

@@netako we were thinking to buy the vauxhall mokka X, but we bought a captur

[@kaihtheloner]

I wish they launched this in India. This is based on the Clio Platform in the UK while the Kaptur in India is based on the Duster Platform. This just looks so much better. The UK spec’d Captur gets so many features over the Indian Kaptur Adjustable Rear Seats 60-40 Split Rear Seats Sunroof R-Link Touchscreen, etc The best part? UK Captur has more features, more safety kit while the Indian Kaptur which is priced the same doesn’t.

[@nainviryaikhom9310]

Review of capture 2020 needed....thank you

[@Peppermint1]

6:00 you'll definitely do that 'neck swing' at a light or stop to check for crossing pedestrians.

[@alinnechitacj]

When can we see the Crossland X. I have it since last year and is okay.

[@promtbeat]

Mat! I'm quite the fan of your work. seen you all over youtube even your work before Carwow. When are you going to start reviewing more EV's? as you review mainly family cars with good mpg perhaps you could start reviewing electrics more. I am keen to get an EV for my next car and always looking for advice. I would even buy through carwow if they could save me some queen sheets. This is a great channel and i believe you give good advice to buyers. Mat is an engaging presenter and i like his sense of humour.

[@SignoreMassimo]

Had this car as a rental recently. I vote “avoid”. It hates corners, feels cheap and the gear-lever is just weird. It feels like the pattern is all tilted away from the driver (on LHD). That and the rubbery feel means it’s kinda hard to tell when you are in neutral. I really like the peppy 1.2l engine though. Except it bogs down easily when setting off.

[@haydonsheard2168]

I have a 66 plate 0.9 tce. I found it holds the road quite well on corners

[@mattjmck86]

Review the Clio!

[@stevenagy88]

Matthew James McKay No

[@marianpaun1784]

Clio made in Turkey

[@JeremyVincent7]

Hey Mat! Great Review. Is there a reason why you don't have the rear headrest in the up right position when reviewing the interior?

[@tomasribeiro8020]

Jeremy Vincent probably because when doing the trunk review he needs to fold the seats and with the headrest on its upright position you can't fold the seats completely.

[@Rydia704]

Love the little things when Matt opens the cubby holes. Just random thing you need, you know like eggs, pastries and a rock haha

[@SpaghettiKillah]

Rydia704 it's not a pastry..it's a croissant..got it? french car

[@Rydia704]

SpaghettiKillah yeah I get it, just couldn't spell croissant :)

[@mashudumbulayeni3830]

People who own this car, how has it been?

[@stefan_c.76]

Not a bad car if you take care of it thoroughly. The cords on the back of the seats are basically useless. One of those episodes where they tried to be unique and made the whole thing obsolete. They're slightly worse than those on my Mercedes and nowhere near as good as the ones on the TS Auris. But that's probably because the auris is the only one that has actual pouches instead of clams like in the Mercedes and harps in the Renault. Overall it's a decent workhorse and the cheap, plastic interior makes it less stressful when you scratch it from load.

[@LewisBGA]

Captur have the best in class ground clearance-210 mm,and yes,it is capable small SUV

[@CAPS_AMERICA]

I think it's only 165mm

[@ssdivizion]

@@CAPS_AMERICA I was talking about first generation of Captur

[@CAPS_AMERICA]

@@ssdivizion yes, first generation is 165mm, the latest ones are higher, around 200 to 220mm

[@mikej397]

I believe it’s 170mm in the UK but higher in some countries such as India

[@mercedes_and_more]

As ever great video. I thought that was a Kebab until you said it was a croissant 😁😁😁

[@lok481]

I love the look of these despite being a sensible car!

[@Karrllson]

0:37 - Wow. Renault capture starts at £15k NEW?? This was before Coronavirus. Now in 2023 it starts at £24k.

[@joyjuly5390]

It’s a nice car for young new buyers especially 5’3/4 girls with full option price i want a full option crossover or subcompact suv i wanted nissan kicks but it is costs too much in my country ,so I don’t get grown big men complaining and throwing negative comments about this car if it doesn’t suit their need

[@3mariusx]

You should review cars by theyr build materials outside too. Captur is very nice done with a big exception. The floor panel is not protected by any plastics. All suvs should have that! Roscks will dent the floor and it will rust. Also renault has no zinc on the body. Poor waranty for rust only 6 years

[@raybloodypurchase1941]

Not not liking this trend of manufacturers sticking on the plastic fake metallic trim underneath the front and back bumpers.

[@SplendidCookie]

I know right... Or even worse is that fake exhaust.

[@arashk1849]

At least it makes the car easy to repair for accidents however fake exhausts are just too bad to forgive

[@raybloodypurchase1941]

Splendid Cookie What I don't understand is that they've added something that no one wanted? The worst fakes are the ones with the black plastic over the entire exhaust hole yeeesh

[@thorbjrnmadsen4984]

Splendid Cookie Nah, in my opinion fake exhaust looks good on some cars. Fake exhaust makes the car look more sporty and aggressive on some cars. I don't fucking care if a car have fake or real exhaust Mercedes-Benz uses fake exhaust and current Mercedes cars looks weird with visible exhaust. And people to need learn to respect other peoples opinions

[@arashk1849]

Thorbjørn Madsen respecting your opinion but delete.. you’re the type of guy to put fake exhausts on Toyota Prius because it makes it sporty

[@maksymtt]

There's a clio for everything: hatchback, "suv" and wagon. Can't wait for the Clio sedan and coupe

[@Marmattron]

Brilliant, thanks, saving up to buy one!

[@dragonrider5167]

[@MansoorBashir93]

"When it was released back in 2013 it was one of the first small SUVs." - 0:10 What about the Rav4, Jimny, Vitara, Pajero Mini etc? They've been around since the 90s.

[@dominiqueelia56]

I might be a little late but is this car any good? is it comfortable, reliable and how is the overall impression do you sit up high like in an suv?

[@Wloppish]

There’s a even newer Captur, I just got my Intense hybrid 160hp. Gotta say I’m really impressed, smooth, nice torque, no gas over short distances since it has a 10kw battery. This car doesn’t represent the newest model.

[@evilmario6061]

I had a colleague who bought this instead of a Clio simply because she's 5"2 and wants a higher driving position... Now everyone does

[@MrAndrew1953]

Love the croissant holder but is it enough to beat a T-roc? I'm still stuck on the Kodiaq.

[@dzonibravo7867]

Captur is better selling then t-roc, so Capture is one to beat.

[@osamayshak]

Can you please make a detailed review of the Renault Talisman and/or the Volvo XC40?

[@davidthompson4346]

Osama Shaklab The Talisman is not available in the U.K. so chances of Matt reviewing it are pretty much zero.

[@osamayshak]

That's a shame really, but thanks for the reply anyway man.

[@petermurphy505]

I have a Clio,brakes a bit non responsive,are they good on the captur as you didn’t mention.

[@superelectic45]

A bigger boot opening would have been a big improvement. IMO the diesel is easily the best engine choice due to it's torque

[@oliverthemog3525]

Matt, what part of the car did you cut your hand on? Noticed a plaster mid way through. ;)

[@archechme]

The steering wheel, column stalks and gauges are straight out of their vans!

Won’t be getting another one when I trade up that’s for sure .... the diesel automatic 1.5 is rubbish and can be dangerous at times when making a right turn car takes forever to move and do not use the start stop on it turn it off especially at a busy roundabout, when a space opens to go you slam down hard on gas to go and there’s a delay which is seriously dangerous and its very under powered . When I complained about it I was told that it’s the automatic computer there’s a delay .. think twice b4 buying this car
