The spec list is strong and it's roomy enough to justify its existence next to the Clio. The looks and the road manners are the standouts. There’s a new entry-level model called Play. It's a fitting contender for the fastest growing car sales segment in the UK. Specs are the usual dizzying mix of Renault wordjumble. Want to feel sure-footed in all weathers? Winter tyres are a far better investment – because unlike AWD, they help when you’re slowing down as well as speeding up… Not that you’ll need it – this is no mud-plugger, and neither are its key rivals. Captur Car Review Renault Captur review 15,505 - 33,840 221 p/m with 6 10 Read why you can trust our independent reviews Top Gear Team Published: Overview. A seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox is optional across most of the range, and there’s four-wheel drive on the ‘big’ diesel. It was previewed by a very sexy orange concept. The diesels are more powerful and efficient than before. The Captur is a brand new nameplate for Renault, who took cues from the Nissan Juke in order to target this very lucrative segment of the market. The Captur may be more convincing yet when it's able to go fully electric, though - or when Renault launches a different weeny crossover with battery power alone.Renault understands that lots of buyers want the torque and range of diesel still, so the offering is a 1.5-litre four-pot derv with 113bhp or 148bhp. The hybrids offer an interesting option, and up against the likes of the Kia Niro in the (currently) limited plug-in compact crossover segment neither is a bad choice, if that’s what you’re after. It won’t be the most interesting car you read about today, but it’s good enough. Our reviews offer detailed analysis of the Capturs features, design, practicality, fuel consumption, engine and transmission, safety, ownership and what its like to drive.

This is mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. That the Captur is a night and day improvement over what it replaces in looks, refinement and cabin quality is not up for debate, backed up by the fact it's the firm's best-selling car in Britain. Despite what those mild looks suggest, the Captur is all new. Powering the entire Captur range is a 1.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine that produces 113kW of power and 270Nm of torque.

There’s plenty of other exterior changes too, with a wider front grille, tough-looking front and rear protection skid plates, prominent wheel arch extensions, slimmer LED lights at both ends, and touches of chrome trim bringing it in line with its Clio and Mégane siblings, with little of the stylistic quirkiness that some of its rivals suffer… no names mentioned. , 14:44 UTC by Mihnea Radu photos Catalin Garmacea.
