Buying a Car

Renault continues to find sales success within the local market, with products such as the Kiger and Kwid providing budget options within their respective segments. How will the local car-buying audiences react to the slightly more premium Captur, though? Only time will tell, but for now, let's compare the two Captur variants currently on sale to determine which one is best. If you are looking at adding a Captur to your garage but need to sell your car first, AutoTrader can get you an Instant Offer!

Renault Captur 1.3 Turbo Zen- R454 999*

The base model Capture Zen features 17-inch alloy wheels, a multifunction steering wheel, USB ports (front + rear), auto lights/wipers, climate control, keyless entry/start, cloth-covered seats, a colour touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cruise control and keyless entry/start. The base model benefits from traction and stability control, 6 airbags, ISOFIX child seat anchor points, front and rear PDC with a reverse camera as well as ABS with EBA. There is also a 3-year/45 000km service plan as standard.

Renault Captur 1.3 Turbo Intens- R499 999*

Moving up to the Intens model, it takes what the Zen model has and adds lane departure warning, blind spot assist, a heated steering wheel, partial leather/cloth seats, LED headlights, daytime running lights, ambient lighting and high-beam assist.

So which one is the best?

When looking at the two Captur models on offer, we feel as though the R45 000(10%) additional cost for the Intens model is worth it considering all of the extra features included, making that our pick of the range.
