#Renault captur 2014 review driver

No other light SUV in Australia quite hits the same high notes, particularly in terms of design, packaging, driver enjoyment, efficient drivetrains and features for the money. The Renault Captur has been selling up a storm abroad will it do the same against the promising new Mazda CX-3 and Honda HR-V?įord EcoSport, Holden Trax, Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-3, Nissan Juke, Peugeot 2008, Skoda Yeti, Suzuki S-CrossĪfter the chunky little Clio, Renault’s gets it right again with the Captur. Since the current rash started arriving a couple of years ago, the B-segment SUV brigade has hardly consisted of overachievers, but suddenly three hopefuls are here to change things for the better. Remarkably, Renault really got the spec right, with the Captur ticking all the necessary boxes, then adding a few extras. No wonder it's going gangbusters globally.īuilt in Spain, the current Clio-based Captur follows the class norm in being front-drive and petrol-powered only (for now), slotting beneath the ageing Koleos in the Holden Trax/ Mazda CX-3 market segment. Its style, freshness, value (compared to, say, Mini’s line-up) and overall buying package should ensure that it remains a sales success.Renault’s foray into the booming world of front-drive light SUVs brings real style and efficiency to a patchy competitor set, while also appealing to those who like low prices and high specs. Overall, the Renault Captur is not a captivating driving experience, but that’s not the point. Renault offers a comprehensive ownership package including a four-year warranty, four years' servicing and four years’ roadside cover. You'll find similar interior versatility in an MPV, but the Captur is much more about showmanship and the ability to completely customise the car inside.īuyers are also given some strong practical reasons to buy the car. The Captur is very much a style and lifestyle statement. However, the Captur's biggest flaw is its ride quality on ruinous surfaces, it would glide along on smooth roads, on patches of typical A-roads, where it encountered broken surfaces, the wheels crashed and pattered to a surprising degree. That said, it could be made to flow along rather nicely on A-roads. It has lightly weighted controls and is easy to punt around.

There’s also a double-sided (carpet and rubber) hard boot floor that splits the rear luggage space and creates a substantial – and hidden – storage space. With the sliding rear seat set right back, you get a reasonable 377-litre boot, extending to a healthy 455 litres with the bench slid fully forward. Renault has also patented the removable seat covers. Inside, the fresh-looking dash plastics are finished in a modern dimple pattern and there are some usefully deep cubby holes in the centre console. Getting the Renault Captur out on the road The decent 2.6m-long wheelbase works with a 60/40 split rear bench seat that also slides to allow up to 215mm of kneeroom. It is quite compact, measuring just 4.1m in length and 1.53m high, including a useful 200mm of ground clearance. The Captur is based on the same platform as the out-going Renualt Clio estate, although it has been modified with a wider track. The Renault Captur S Nav derivative includes much the same minus the traction control system and includes blind spot monitoring, hands-free parking system, a part Nappa leather upholstery and a Bose stereo system.

The former includes front and rear parking sensors, a reversing camera, an advanced traction control system, heated front seats, a leather upholstery and Renault's R-Link infotainment system complete TomTom-powered sat nav with live updates and European mapping. Topping the range are the Renault Captur Signature X Nav and Signature S Nav trims.
