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. The neatly designed cabin features a clever sliding rear bench that allows you to trade rear legroom for extra boot space. Petrol models offer 444 litres of storage, expandable to 1,275 litres with rear seats folded, though hybrid versions have a smaller 362-litre boot. 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.

The Captur is available with multiple engine options: a 1.0-litre TCe 90 petrol producing 90bhp, a frugal E-Tech Hybrid combining a 1.6-litre petrol engine with electric motors for 145bhp, and on older models, a 1.3-litre TCe 130 petrol and 1.4-litre dCi diesel engines. The hybrid is particularly impressive at town speeds, whilst the petrol engines return claimed fuel economy of around 47mpg. It rides comfortably, grips well, and is civilised on the motorway, though it's less engaging than a Ford Puma. Standard equipment is generous across the range, with even entry-level models featuring climate control and modern infotainment. Running costs are low, insurance groups are reasonable, and Renault's keen pricing makes it one of the most popular options in its class.

Best for: Buyers seeking a stylish and practical compact crossover, those interested in hybrid efficiency, families needing flexible interior space, and drivers wanting excellent value for money.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising engaging driving dynamics, buyers requiring premium interior build quality throughout, or drivers 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, interested in hybrid efficiency, need flexible interior space, or want excellent value for money.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise engaging driving dynamics, 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 clever sliding rear bench, and a frugal hybrid option. Whilst the Ford Puma provides a more engaging driving experience and the Skoda Kamiq offers superior build quality and user ratings, the Captur's stylish design, generous equipment, and keen pricing make it a compelling choice. The Google-backed infotainment system is genuinely excellent, and running costs are low across the range. For buyers prioritising practicality and value over outright driving thrills, the Captur is a highly sensible and attractive option.
