Pay extra for GPS navigation and you get a 9.3-inch centre screen. Turned towards the driver, this screen, with its EASY LINK connected system, comprises all the multimedia, navigation and infotainment features as well as the car's MULTI-SENSE driving settings. This vertical and subtly curved tablet visually enlarges the dashboard and lends the cabin a more contemporary feel. Standard kit across the range includes what Renault calls its 'Smart Cockpit', a key component of which is the standard 7-inch multimedia screen, the biggest ever on a Renault model. Across the mainstream part of the line-up, there are five trim levels, 'Evolution', 'Techno', 'Rive Gauche', 'R.S. You'll need from around £25,000 for the E-Tech Hybrid 145 HEV variant and from just under £31,500 for the E-TECH Plug-in Hybrid 160 auto versions. Prices see a span in the £22,500 to £33,000 bracket across the range. There's an adjustable-height boot floor and 1,275-litres of space when you flatten the 60/40-split rear bench. As for luggage room, well position the seats to maximise luggage space and cargo capacity is 536 litres with the conventionally-engined models that's 81-litres more than in the previous-generation car. This set-up will be optional on lesser models, which instead feature two seven-inch displays as standard. Upper-spec models get a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster in place of analogue dials.
The fascia also features a floating centre console that increases storage space.
At the front, there's a completely redesigned dash, complete with a portrait-style centre infotainment touchscreen display that's either 7-inches or 9.3-inches in size depending on trim and is smartphone 'Apple CarPlay'/'Android Auto'-compatible. As with the previous model, there's a sliding rear bench, which moves back and forth by 16cm to maximise legroom or boot space. You'll particularly notice that at the rear. At the rear, there's a smarter set of C-shaped LED tail-lamps.Īnd inside? Well Renault's switch to its new CMF-B platform for this MK2 model Captur has made significant special gains possible here. In MK2 form, this car is 110mm longer, 20mm wider and fractionally taller than before. But if you learn the system then you’ll find the transition between pure-electric and ICE power hard to detect.This second generation Captur looks a sportier thing, primarily because of its stylised LED headlamps which are like those on the latest generation Clio supermini. Make a sudden, dramatic request for acceleration and you’ll notice a little judder as the engine kicks in, although once that’s over and done with, the motor itself is very smooth. The transmission, and its ability to manage the switches between electric and petrol power, isn’t flawless, but again, the E-Tech Hybrid is more likely to get flustered if you do. And you should see north of 50mpg on urban trips as a result this is definitely one of those cars that, in contrast to conventional models, will get closer to its official fuel consumption (56.5mpg) around town than it will on the open road.

It’s the same set-up that has already impressed us in the Clio. The first can drive the wheels outright, while the second – effectively an integrated starter-generator – helps to smooth the gaps between gearchanges. It’s been offered with a choice of petrol or plug-in hybrid power, but now there’s a fresh hybrid model to occupy the middle ground.Ĭalled the Captur E-Tech Hybrid, the new arrival uses a 1.6-litre engine combined with two electric motors. The Renault Captur is our favourite small SUV, thanks to its practicality, solid driving dynamics and nicely finished cabin. It’s not quite as practical as regular Capturs, but it’s still one of the few small SUVs that can conceivably stand up to use as a family car – and in this guise, it’s an efficient one to boot.
The E-Tech Hybrid is another impressive version of our top small SUV, offering plenty of scope for comfortable electric-only driving around town, without the extra cost and complexity of a plug-in system.
