Renault Captur 2020 - Bestseller 2.0? (ENG) - Test Drive and Review

[@freestick19822000]

Videos are Not only professional and informative but funny, honest and amazing. Well done. Other youtuber gotta learn

[@julianjunior3899]

I love the look of the new Captur. None of those straight and angular lines of other cars. I'm sure it will be a best seller again

[@emicald]

The audio control lever position is certainly better than those on the steering wheel. They are always in same place.

[@tipazas]

Current Renaults looks very attractive for me, but I'm a Honda owner now and I don't recognize most of these complaints in it :) Btw watching this review I realized for what I like them: they put a smile on my face being very informative and useful at same time. Keep it going!

Have a loan of one for a few days. Surprisingly comfortable car. Soaks up bumps very well on poor roads and feels solid. Only thing I noticed it the roof feels slightly low on the inside. I suppose abit of style over substance. However nice car overall.

I’m seriously concreting buying the capture (my first car) I was originally told to stay away from Renault as a whole however apparently they have recently improved the quality and reliability a lot. I LOVE the tech in the recent capture and the space is good. However I can’t decide on this or the Skoda Kamiq 🤔 if anyone has any suggestions or experiences please do let me know your opinions.

Reverse gear in this car is switch same as as 1st but you you need add more force and heard beep which comes after couple of seconds. In parking, when you're in a hurry you can easily switch reverse instead of 1st. By the way when I saw bestseller 2.0 I thought it has 2.0 liter engine (a proper sized engine):)

[@MarekDrives]

1. You're not allowed to idle for too long, while parking. 2. I try to eliminate engine noise, when talking in a parked car. 3. Since it was autumn or winter, it is cold enough for exhaust fumes to create steam, which would be visible in some of the shots, so best avoid it.

[@christostsikouridis7674]

I only watch car reviews videos to get to see the looks and the specifications...some of the “ negatives “ reported here are not negatives for me or other viewers.

@@MarekDrives sorry dude but you shouldn't wear a coat when you are driving. From automotive engineer's perspective; we don't design cars to be driven with two human-sized coats.

[@MarekDrives]

@@Kaankkwho As observant as you are, you probably noticed I'm not actually wearing a coat, while driving. I was recording on a cold and wet morning, and I do not have the luxury of a heated camper van on the set, where I could warm myself over a cup of tea, while my crew is setting up cameras. We do everything ourselves my partner and me. So excuse me, if I don't take my coat of, before I get in the car, because I'll catch a cold, and the I won't be recording anything. Also, from an automotive engineer's perspective you should know everyone else is not an engineer, and in the winter they will usually drive wearing coats, because it takes 10-15 minutes for the cars to warm up. And they don't want their children to get a cold, because then everyone gets a cold, and everyone is miserable. So yes, I know you should take your coat off, or at least fasten the seatbelt underneath the coat, but reality sucks.

@@simeonaleksiev8690 Listen it's a Renault using Renault parts and platforms, the platform is only a small part of it's content and in fact the Duster platform is a Dacia modified BO. All these terminologies are just different ways that the engines, wheels and transmission parts are put together, that is just a simplified way of putting it, just like the VW system. They both use Renault parts but in different configurations, such as the engines have different power, the gearbox has different ratios etc. but it is still an expensive posh Duster.

Hello! I enjoy all your reviews,because of your style. You remind me,a bit of the old Top Gear,and that is a good thing. I want to ask your oppinion. What would you recommend between the kia xceed and the renault captur? I mean,build quality,sound insulation,ride quality...comfort,the way it deals with bumpy roads. Wich one would be more suitable for a family of 4 ? Thank you in advance!! And keep up the great work!

[@MarekDrives]

Thanks. Xceed, because you get more car for your money. Neither of them is going to be particularly comfortable. If you want something good on bumpy roads look at the Citroen C4 Cactus and the new Citroen C4 (the coupe-crossover one) with hydraulic bump stops on the front suspension. I think the facelifted KIA Stonic may have those as well, but it doesn't feel as comfortable, as the Citroens.

[@user-yq8gw2qr7f]

@@MarekDrives Ok,i am planning to buy a kia xceed,with the 1.5 tgdi engine,160 hp. I also like the design,it looks a bit like a mercedes gla,in my opinion. And the 7 years warranty it's an advantage. I saw the c4,it looks nice. But i lack the confidence in those 1.2 pure tech engines,those used by peugeot and citroen. I read that there were issues with them,there have been recalls,but they didnt change anything. Anyway,i will stick with kia,altough we have 2 renaults in the family,bought new. I feel like kia offers more. Thank again.

Drum brakes are quite unfortunate at this price. I like the rest of the car. The audio control thing is better than stuff on the steering wheel once you get used to it. And if you bought one of these, it doesn't take very long.

[@saynotowoke.8492]

Renault seem to make some very odd decisions sometimes. Don't get me wrong, I've had lots of Renaults, and currently drive a 2018 Koleos amongst other things. I think Renault are brilliant when it comes to exterior design. And I have to say this updated Captur looks great both inside and out. Especially compared to its rivals in the same sector. But there lies the problem! It *looks* great. When I sat in one recently at my local dealership, I was so disappointed with the perceived quality. The inside *looks* fine... until you touch (almost) anything. Lots of cheap hard plastic everywhere you touch, the cheap tinny sound of the rear doors and boot when you close them, naff materials used on the upholstery, and so the list could go on. In Ireland and perhaps elsewhere, it's what we refer to as being _"All fur coat and no knickers!"_ I still love my Koleos though!

It so happens I have the scirpt, so it takes me a couple of seconds to verify what I said in the review. I used the word "French" twice. Once to avoid saying Renault Captur over and over again (i.e. "French car"), and once to describe the heated steering wheel, which I think is really the first for a French car, at least as far as I remember. Nowhere in this review have I made a point that something is wrong with the Captur, because of it is French. Perhaps it is you, who should seek help, because it sounds like you have some inferiority issues.
