Should You Buy a Renault Captur? (Test Drive & Review MK2)

[@ciaranm8772]

I’ve experienced both as long term rental cars. The Mk2 Captur is a massive improvement over the Mk1 which always looked a bit dumpy and felt extremely cheap inside built using horribly low rent hard plastics. The Mk2 interior features lots of soft touch plastics, nicely damped buttons and switches plus better overall comfort. The Mk1 didn’t drive particularly nice either, light and bouncy on the road. The Mk2 feels much more grown up and stable. Best small crossover on the market.

[@petersmitham8273]

I love the first gen Captur diesel…..I bought one new 7 years ago, my partner now runs it and it still looks like new, drives like new and does nearly 60mpg….can’t beat it…🎉❤

[@davidellis279]

I was loaned one and I must say I was very impressed with the 1-5 diesels performance and fuel consumption,I’m used to driving a larger engined vehicle but found this little diesel great to drive. I had a Renault Scenic dti 100 in 2000 brand new and it performed perfectly,prior to that I had a 1-9 Clio diesel which also performed well,I have had good service out of Renault diesels and so have my children,we all had new Clio diesels and were very satisfied with them perhaps we were the lucky ones.

[@teatimetel174]

they want diesels off the road and us into evs that way you cant travel as farm..diesels all the way

[@sambarker7930]

I work at a Renault garage, and these new Capturs seem to be ok, but I prefer the first generation. The big problem with them just now is the front lower control arms. The bushes seem to be wearing out quite quickly, no one makes them aftermarket yet, and there's no stock of genuine ones (it took 6 months for a pair to arrive for one car, other later ones seem to be quicker though in fairness). I drove a hybrid one the other day, and I think it might be the worst car I've driven (the normal petrol and diesel ones are alright though)

I have a2017 mk4 scenic. Had the front drop links replaced at 20k miles. It’s on 26k now and the ride is horrid. But value for money it’s pretty good. Is this suspension issue recognised on scenics also ? As a quickly discontinued model information is scarce

[@J2002-q9x]

Hi Matt, my parents have a mk1 Captur 0.9 TCe dynamic while I have a mk5 Clio TCe 130 EDC RS-Line which has the same dash as a mk2 Captur. Personally, I think there is a massieve improvement in interior quality, but it really depends on the level of spec. I actually do think that the Captur you tested was a entry level trim called “Life” as it doesnt have rear parking sensors. I would suggest to get at least the Intense trim which has decent amount of spec and a lot more soft touch materials in the interior and upholstery. PS: this rental was very dirty!

[@Mhlikescars]

I was surprised by your comments (and the love in the comments) on the MK1 Captur, because for me it was the worst car I've ever driven, I used to use hire cars quite a lot, and there was a few cars I didn't get on with, but the Captur was the first, and only one I've given it back and asked for something else. After a day of driving it my back was in agony, it was so devoid of any feeling to drive that when I turned the wheel I had to hope it would go where I wanted it to, I've never experienced such dead steering (maybe it was broken), so I called Europcar and asked if I could swap it for something else. I don't dislike Renault, the Clio is pretty decent, and the Kadjar was a very pleasant surprise, in fact if the eventuality arises that I need a crossover(heaven forbid), the Kadjar would be very high on the list, I do like the look of the new Renaults too. The Captur though, I genuinely hated it, everytime I see one I find myself shaking my head that someone chose a Captur over literally any other car on sale. I've not driven a MK2, so my judgement only goes to MK1s.

[@MrSparklespring]

The driving abilities and chassis were much improved on the facelifted versions. So Renault acknowledged that there was a huge problem...

[@Mhlikescars]

@MrSparklespring this was a facelift model as far as I know, a 2018 one with LED headlights. I hope I never have to drive a prefacelift if they're worse.

[@joshbrailsford]

My mate used to rent cars for work, and he had an early mk1 Captur once. Looking around the car I was pleasantly surprised by its style and practicality. Then I had a drive of it myself and the pleasant surprise was replace by mild horror at the vagueness of the steering. I've never driven anything with such slow and devoid of feel steering as that Captur. I can't remember what engine it had, but it was gutless, too. Shame, because I think the style has aged well.

[@Oceans_Sail]

Nothing that a good “buff” cant solve 😂

[@efstathioszavvos4878]

Dude you can change the volume, songs, sound source etc from the controls behind the steering wheel under the wipers lever lol. I can confirm there is no need to touch the touchscreen for anything after you start your trip. You can even manage navigation etc with voice commands.

[@Megatronman1]

I have driven top spec Captur auto for nearly 3 years. It's a great car, and I have not had any problems with it.

[@Holdeenio]

I drove a rental mk1 with the 0.9tce engine from Porto to the algarve, fully laden with 5 people and luggage… not a setup I’d recommend to anyone. The engine felt acceptable when there was only me inside but with passengers it’s totally gutless… it did eventually get up to a cruising speed, but it took many miles. If asked I’d definitely recommend going for the 1.3tce at least.

[@CallumStewartTV]

The higher end trim gets soft touch plastic on the door cards and center console. Also it has AEB as standard, not just warning you but actually stopping the car if needed. Higher end ones get either a 7 or 10 inch dash and an optional 9 inch center screen. Having been a tech at Renault for four years the basic models do feel rather cheap and nasty ngl

[@Dazzaisaac]

I think the Captur looks better the higher spec you go. As you mentioned the Arkana I have to say I love the design and drive. Hence why I bought one.

[@williamhodgson6250]

I love my 2017 Megane 1.6 diesel signature Nav, so comfortable, smooth and economical. I normally change my cars every three years, I’ll have had it 5 years in August and have no intention of changing it.

[@largejannerkernow5359]

I have a mk1 diesel which I bought from new in 2014. Apart from a dramatic loss of pixels on the infotainment screen (only noticeable at night tbf) it’s been absolutely faultless. We bought a mid range model which we thought was cheap compared to its competitors in 2014, just had a look at the comparable mk2 and it feels like they’ve upped the prices considerably.

[@СергейЛарс-м1т]

[@MikeJones-mz5ig]

A good review which goes deeper. We love our mark 1 here in Oz. See no reason to change it.

[@chrizy75]

Hi Matt, I have to say that I have a mk2 Captur and it sounded like you were describing a totally different car........then I realised you almost are! Mine is a 2020 Captur S-Edition with a spec no longer available in the UK like electric heated leather seats, a huge iPad style screen, a heated steering wheel, 360 cameras, parking sensors everywhere, self-parking modes and chrome accents. Also, I have an engine that is no longer available the TCe 155bhp, which is a quick little thing (for an SUV) when tied into the 7 speed EDC box. My Dad has a lower spec version with a lower powered engine and an EDC box and it feels like a different car! Anyway, with the poverty spec versions, they are offering now (they don't even have electric folding mirrors!) I will not be getting a new one when I replace my car in a few months.

[@antonycharnock2993]

I drove the original Captur as a hire car in Spain(I've had four Renaults - Clio II/Megane II/III and the Kadjar) and couldnt fault it. Much better than the bog standard Golf I was given on my last trip.

[@ruk2023--]

Interesting that you and some commenters like the 1st gen capture. A friend of mine has one that is the colour of a prosthetic limb. Having been a passenger on a long journey I have concluded it's crap. The stereo is offensively bad, it doesn't ride well, the boot is small and the interior quality clearly took advice from the people who convert wheelie bins into dashboards in America.

[@antonbanulski1262]

I’m not a Renault owner but I think you are driving the base model with no parking sensors or decent size info screen.

[@jeffallinson8089]

I've owned a mk1 (2015 reg) from 2 years old with around 10k on the clock and it has never missed a beat (although I've serviced it every year) and the spec is excellent. Keyless entry and go, auto headlights and wipers, start/stop (which I detest and never use), cruise control, satnav, aircon and auto climate control. Would I personally recommend one? Hell yeah. I was thinking of changing to a 2nd gen but after watching this I think I'll stay put!! Great review, thanks.

[@paulspinner1679]

Having owned a Mark 1 Captur and now on my 3rd Mark 2 (don't ask it's a PCP thing) I have to disagree with the review. My opinion is the Mark 2 is much better in every way. The ride,comfort, technology, quality and general driving experience is miles better and the 6 speed gearbox matched with the 0.9 litre engine is pretty good. A good value for money SUV. Just to add I found it odd that you complained about changing the volume on the Media screen when you can just use the buttons on the end of the Audio stalk !

[@MatthiasWinkler]

A bit surprised by so many of the negative comments towards French cars? I’m German living in Ireland, so I don’t have skin in the game other then driving the first version of the capture 😅 It’s been super reliable and when I did some research before buying the ADAC (German auto thingy guide) listed it as one of the most reliable as well? Is the one whole French thing maybe a bit of an old stereotype? Great video though 👍🙏😊

[@angrybarsteward7301]

The dude drives about in the most unreliable car ever made Range-rover. I would take his opinion on reliability with a pinch of salt. He buys an 8/10 year old car that hasn't been looked after very well and poorly serviced and has to spend £1000 putting it right, then say they are not a reliable car. But get any landrover after 8 years and you need to spend thousands upon thousands on electrics, suspensions, engine block, lights, etc. But he will tell you it's worth it just to make yourself feel self important 😄

[@Haririsoon]

I daily a Seat Leon FR which went in for repairs so I had a Mk1 Renault Captur as my courtesy car. Now, I don't know what I expected and it may be because it was a courtesy car but it drove absolutely terribly. The gearbox was the most mushy gearbox I've ever used, the clutch and breaks were almost non-existant and it rolled to quite a dangerous amount when going around a roundabout or even a slight corner at times. The seats were also way too bouncy and slippery for cloth which really didn't help added onto the roll in cornering. It also felt really cheap and horrible to me. I was so glad to have my Leon back! Now granted, people may buy these for the practicality and I can't fault that, for such a small car it does carry an awful lot of stuff, but it just seems like most other cars in its class give you a much better driving experience.

[@gamersquadlifestyle]

[@JohnJohnson-jm8ku]

That was the entry level version. Just like entry level Volkswagens these Capturs get the job done, but look and feel nearly as cheap. I've driven the hybrid version and I liked it. Overall a clear improvement on the facelifted mk1 Captur that I drive.

[@antohosm43]

Very interesting comparison but I'm not in agreement on some major issues. My wife's former car was a 2019 1.5 dCi GT-line which was recently changed for a 2020 1.0TCi Iconic. Both bought used. My main points are : Finish on later Captur much better - lots of squishy material on dash etc and much less scratchy hard plastic. Less idiosyncratic than formerly. Both exactly same colour combination as your rental but I reckon yours was a lower spec. interior (European rental market?) Good paintwork. Gearbox better on earlier model and I accept your point on the huge gearknob! The Iconic does have reversing sensors but no rear camera. Much better instruments and infotainment on later model. 3-pot engine sporty even if a bit vocal whereas diesel could be noisy. Always enjoy your videos and I love the asides! 😂

[@cmartin_ok]

I've got a 2014 Captur mk I diesel auto (EDC) bought new with a significant discount. Whilst it's nothing "special" and much of the interior seems to be made of very cheap plastic, it has been problem-free so far but the second generation Captur doesn't really seem to move things along. If I had to replace it now, I'd almost certainly go for a VW T-Cross. Trouble is, there has been a huge jump in new car prices and discounts are now hard to come by, too.

Matt, you teasingly said that it was too early to say for sure what the reliability will be like except to say it “will probably be a mixed bag”. I would say its a Renault so it should do ok for about 6 months after which everything will break and need replacing every month until either you buy a cheaper to maintain Aston Martin DB9 or end up in the Bankruptcy Court. Sure the Renault it will be better than a Peugeot - they fall apart after 4 months. I speak from experience. And yes, Im not joking when I say the DB9 will be cheaper to maintain.

[@paultasker7788]

I think they've come a long way in reliability although some of the cheap aspects of that mark 2 like the badly fitting doors are concerning they've done some cost cutting.

[@juststuff531]

Had one of these as a hire car. i completely agree, the interior is quite awful, The screen is so slow and you must use the volume through it which is very dangerous. The ride is quite good but when going around a corner it feels like it will fall of the road, but i guess thats all modern crossovers.

[@paultasker7788]

You can use the wheel mounted controls for the volume even though they aren't as good as the previous ones much easier than using he screen

[@kenweir5099]

You don’t have to go into the infotainment screen to reduce the volume, just reduce it from the stock control. Except of course if you’re the passenger 😂. I’ve got mixed feelings about the mark 2. I’ve had two mark 1’s (all three were/are diesel). The new mark 2 engine is quieter to drive. I suppose the argument about whether it feels cheap or not inside depends what your used to. The air con system in the mark 1 is significantly better than the mark 2, unless we’ve just been unlucky. Other downside is the passenger seat, which is set too high for tall passengers with no height adjustment unless you go higher than the Iconic. The mark 1 passenger seat was set area more realistic height. 2021 models, Iconic and above come with rear parking sensors plus lots of nice touches missing in other cars of similar price, eg speed sign reading which shows up on the drivers screen. Seats aren’t as comfortable in the mark 2. So it’s a bit of a mixed bag. Overall though, it’s a good car, it could be a great car if the passenger seat was set lower and the air con worked properly (it’s been back at the dealers twice for this, and still not fixed). ❤

Tell you what I see in Tesco car park close to my house. I no it’s nothing to do with this video. I seen a Vauxhall frontera limited 2002 3.2 v6 in black. I got talking to the elderly lady driving it and she said it only covered 14,000 miles. It was immaculate.
