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 second-generation Renault Captur (2020-present) builds on the success of its predecessor, offering a stylish and practical compact crossover based on the Clio hatchback. It provides greater interior space and an elevated driving position, making it a comfortable choice for four adults. A standout practical feature is the sliding rear bench, allowing users to prioritise either rear legroom or boot space. Petrol models offer a generous 444 litres (up to 1,275 litres with seats down), though hybrid versions have a smaller 362-litre boot.

Engine options post-2024 facelift include a 1.0-litre TCe 90 petrol and an efficient 145bhp E-Tech Hybrid, offering claimed figures of 47mpg and 60mpg respectively. The Captur provides a comfortable, civilised driving experience, though it's less engaging than a Ford Puma. Facelifted models from Techno trim upwards feature an excellent Google-backed 10.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system, with physical controls for climate. Standard equipment is generous, even on entry-level models, contributing to its appeal as a cost-effective and well-appointed compact SUV.

Best for: Drivers seeking a stylish, practical, and economical compact crossover, families needing flexible interior space, and those who value user-friendly infotainment.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising an engaging driving experience (like a Ford Puma), those sensitive to interior material quality, or requiring a top-tier reversing camera.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Captur if: You're seeking a stylish, practical, and economical compact crossover, a family car with flexible interior space, or value user-friendly infotainment.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise an engaging driving experience, are particular about interior material quality, or need a high-quality reversing camera.

Competitive Position: The Renault Captur is a strong contender in the compact crossover segment, offering a compelling blend of style, practicality, and value. While it may not deliver the outright driving engagement of a Ford Puma or the extended warranty of a Kia Stonic, its flexible interior, efficient hybrid option, and excellent Google-backed infotainment system make it a sensible and attractive choice. Its competitive pricing and generous standard equipment further solidify its position as a highly popular option for those seeking a well-rounded small SUV.
