What’s it like to drive? 

Reviewer's opinion

"These power figures are mighty impressive and amongst the highest, you will find against its competitors. Despite this, the Captur will return a claimed 6.6 l/100km on the combined cycle and on our test drive we managed to hit these figures without even trying and without making use of the Eco mode (three modes are on offer; My Sense, Sport, and Eco)."

What is the Renault Captur like inside?

To be able to compete in this segment, offerings have to be well-equipped. The Chinese brands have shown how well an attractive, well-priced, feature-packed offering can perform in the market and the new Captur follows suit. Zen models get a 7-inch landscape infotainment system while the range-topping Intens version proudly presents a 9.3-inch portrait-orientated infotainment system, replete with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as well as housing a native navigation system. Voice control makes light work of executing tasks.-Chad Lückhoff AutoTrader
