Renault Captur (2020-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Practical cabin with its clever sliding rear bench	Not as much fun to drive as a Ford Puma
Frugal hybrid model	Elements of interior build quality could be better
Excellent Google-based touchscreen system	Poor quality reversing camera

Quick Summary

The Renault Captur (2020-present) is a stylish and practical compact crossover that builds on the success of its predecessor. Based on the Clio hatchback, it offers more substantial styling, greater interior space, and an elevated driving position compared to traditional superminis. The neatly designed cabin features a clever sliding rear bench that allows you to trade rear legroom for extra boot space, with petrol models offering 444 litres of storage (1,275 litres with rear seats down). The 2024 facelift introduced a redesigned front end and an updated Google-backed infotainment system with a 10.4-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.

Engine options include a 1.0-litre TCe 90 petrol with 90bhp and a frugal E-Tech Hybrid combining a 1.6-litre petrol engine with two electric motors, delivering 145bhp and achieving claimed 60mpg. The Captur rides comfortably, grips well, and is civilised on the motorway, though it's less engaging than the Ford Puma. Running costs are low, with generous standard equipment across all trims including climate control and alloy wheels. As a used model, the Captur represents excellent value in the competitive compact crossover segment, particularly if you prioritise practicality and efficiency over outright driving thrills.

Best for: Buyers seeking a stylish and practical compact crossover, those wanting a frugal hybrid option, and families prioritising interior space and clever storage solutions.

Not ideal for: Drivers wanting the most engaging driving experience, those requiring premium interior build quality throughout, or buyers needing a high-quality reversing camera.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Captur if: You're seeking a stylish and practical compact crossover, want a frugal hybrid option, or prioritise interior space and clever storage solutions.

Consider alternatives if: You want the most engaging driving experience, require premium interior build quality throughout, or need a high-quality reversing camera.

Competitive Position: The Renault Captur (2020-present) is a strong contender in the compact crossover market, offering excellent practicality, a frugal hybrid option, and an outstanding Google-based infotainment system. Whilst the Ford Puma and Skoda Kamiq offer more engaging driving dynamics and the Kia Stonic provides a better warranty, the Captur's clever sliding rear bench, generous equipment levels, and attractive styling make it a compelling choice for buyers prioritising practicality and value. It represents excellent value as a used model, particularly for families and those seeking an efficient hybrid powertrain.
