Renault Captur Diesel Automatic Review

The Renault Captur has undergone a series of mid-life updates to keep it competitive in the small crossover market. With new rivals like the SEAT Arona, Hyundai Kona, and Nissan Juke entering the fray, it's essential for the Captur to stay ahead of the pack. As the best-selling model in its class in Europe last year, Renault has given the Captur a facelift to appeal to buyers who will have even more choices in the coming 12 months.

On the outside, the Captur looks refreshed with new exterior updates that enhance its already appealing design. However, it's what's inside that matters most. The cabin is roomy and comfortable, with attractive pricing and low running costs. While the driving experience may not be outstanding in any particular area, the Captur remains a decent choice for those seeking a reliable and practical vehicle.

The revisions to the Captur range aren't extensive, but they do bring welcome improvements in quality and desirable extras. The options you should consider adding include metallic paint (£550), space-saver spare wheel (£110), rear parking sensors (£215), and automatic folding door mirrors (£20).

Our top-spec car may not look great value, but it's hard to argue with the Captur's strengths. The 1.9 TCe 90 Dynamique Nav is our favourite version, priced at £16,905. This trim level adds 17-inch alloys, climate control, and a 7-inch touchscreen satnav system.

There are several other trims to choose from, including the Signature X Nav, which features all-season tyres and a grip control system for light off-roading. The cheapest Captur is the Expression+, which comes with 16-inch alloy wheels, air-conditioning, DAB, Bluetooth hands-free phone connection, and a USB socket.

Overall, the Renault Captur remains an appealing choice in the small crossover market, despite its age. With its roomy interior, attractive pricing, and low running costs, it's definitely worth considering for those in the market for a reliable and practical vehicle.
