- The Renault Captur looks great, has a spacious, high-quality cabin and a big boot. Its infotainment is frustrating, though, and there are more comfortable small SUVs. There are loads of small SUVs to choose from these days, so a car needs to have a little something different, a little je ne sais.
- Start celebrating: The New Renault Captur, our popular crossover, has evolved. With its new colours, redesigned grille with finely chromed edging and optional fixed glassed roof, the Renault Captur is geared toward urban adventurers like never before.
- The small-SUV landscape has changed dramatically since the first Renault Captur, but then so has the Captur itself. Despite delays arriving in Australia, the 2021 Renault Captur has finally landed.

Introduction
What Car? says..
The arrival of the first-generation Renault Captur was timed with a level of perfection that would suit a Swiss railway. It may not have been the first small SUV to hit the market, but it was early enough to ride the crest of a wave that's since become a tsunami of high-riding, compact cars.
Harry potter nintendo switch hints. A big part of the Captur’s success was its distinctive looks with a splash of customisation. This helped it stand out from the crowd and, for this second-generation Captur, Renault's stuck with the same theme.
But while it might look similar on the outside, inside and underneath it’s a whole new ball game. Plusher plastics, more substantial switches and upgraded digital displays aim to give it more pizazz, especially in top-spec models. And a slight growth spurt over its predecessor helps to realise more space for passengers and their luggage.
Under the bonnet, you’ll find a range of modern petrol and diesel engines, with power outputs ranging from 93bhp all the way up to 158bhp. The punchiest power figure belongs to the E-Tech plug-in hybrid, which combines a petrol engine with an electric motor to reduce emissions and offer electric-only driving.
So, if you already own an original Captur or you’re thinking about buying one for the first time, don’t be duped by the latest car's familiar looks – there’s plenty to discuss. And that’s no bad thing, given how competitive the small SUV class is, with the keen-handling Ford Puma, the spacious Skoda Karoq and the comfort-orientated Volkswagen T-Roc among the rivals to consider.

Renault Captur Crossover 90 Dynamique
And even though the focus of the review is put on practicality and looks, we'll start with the handling. Apparently, Renault took the stilettos off the Captur and fitted sports shoes. It's no Megane RS, but it feels more direct and stable in the corners.
This is one of the major complaints we have with the original Captur, which didn't feel safe taking sharper corners above 80 km/h. As for the Puma, it's pretty sporty, as you'd expect from anything made by Ford.
We've always preferred cars with slightly bigger engines, and in this case, that's the Captur. The new generation is available with the 1.3-liter turbo fitted to some Mercedes models. Fingers crossed, it's more reliable than the old 1.2-liter. Its Ford Puma equivalent is the 1.0-liter EcoBoost, which was also plagued by gremlins and will now be offered a mild-hybrid setup.
But Rebecca says the Ford is much more enjoyable to fling into the corners and comes with a precise manual gearbox. Real-world fuel consumption is about the same for both cars, so there really isn't an advantage to downsizing.
As for the interiors, the design and quality favor the French car as well, which has also become more spacious than before. It's not perfect, but that floating center console and orange faux leather wrap will lift the spirits of most people on a rainy day.
