Normally we are happy to recommend small, 1.0-litre, turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engines even in relatively large cars such as the Megane. Very comfortable seats, front and rear, do help to compensate a little for that, though. Space is decent in the cabin, both up front and out back, although the 'fast' line of the rear side glass does cut down a bit on light for those in the back. The only bugbear is the lack of a physical volume knob. This new one is much, much slicker, has a crisp, clear screen and is actually pretty easy to use. In fact, that touchscreen is a major improvement on Renault's previous efforts in this sphere, which have tended towards Atari-levels of screen resolution, and fiddly and incomprehensible menus. All of the major surfaces are soft-touch (more so than you'll find in an equivalent Volkswagen, says Renault), the part-digital dials look classy (and fully digital instruments are on the way) and the updated touchscreen, an upright nine-inch version in our S-Edition test car, looks really good. The previous Captur - pleasant car though it was - was let down by cheap-o cabin plastics. Name its best bitsįollowing again in the Clio's footsteps, the Captur's cabin looks like a vast improvement over what went before.

Basic models are still pretty well equipped, though, with a seven-inch screen, 17-inch alloys, automatic climate control and smartphone mirroring in the shapes of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Our test car was the relatively pricey S-Edition version, which comes with the big 9.3-inch touchscreen and large alloy wheels, which are suitably handsome so as to blend in with that styling. Those slim tail-lights look almost too-delicate to be true, but the Captur's boot that lies behind them is much more robust and practical - already generous at 422 litres, it can be expanded to a massive 536 litres if you slide the back seats forward on their runners. While the likes of Ford and Nissan are creating small crossovers that challenge both your eyes and stylistic orthodoxy, Renault has gone down the Brad Pitt route for the Captur - it's undeniably good looking. For slightly less than the price of a Megane (model-for-model), you get a taller, more imposing design that takes the handsomeness of the new Clio (with which the Captur shares a chassis and engines) and magnifies it.

With crossovers and SUVs being, apparently, all anyone buys anymore - to the detriment of family hatchbacks such as Renault's own generally very decent Megane - this second version of the Captur is surely set for further climbs up the Matterhorn of registrations. Not only did the first-generation model do much to establish the rapidly-expanding small crossover segment, it also became the best-selling car in that segment - slightly more than 10,000 first-generation Capturs have been sold in Ireland since it was launched in 2013. The Captur 2 model is a SUV car manufactured by Renault, with 5 doors and 5 seats, sold new from year 2020.If ever a car had 'sales success' baked into its DNA, it would surely be the Renault Captur. For stopping power, the Captur 2 1.0 TCe 100 braking system includes Vented Discs at the front and Drums at the rear.

Stock tire sizes are 215 / 60 on 17 inch rims at the front, and 215 / 60 on 17 inch rims at the rear. On the topic of chassis details responsible for road holding, handling behavior and ride comfort, the Captur 2 has McPherson struts front suspension and semi independent, coil springs rear suspension.
