For a car this size ( 1270kg’s), the power/torque you get is more than enough as it will get you from here to there with ease and in a very economical matter.

It’s quiet, pulls well and combined with the manual gearbox it can be very cheap to run. The car we drove had a 1.2l petrol with 120hp, 205NM of torque and a 6-speed manual gearbox, which was really impressive. You can also get an EDC box, which, as we mentioned in our previous tests is a great gearbox, but only on two of the available engines. The diesel is a 1.5l, the only thing that’s different being the horsepower (either 90 or 110) and the petrol ones can be either a 0.9l or a 1.2l petrol with either 90hp or 120hp. You can choose between one diesel engine and two petrol engines. Performance wise, this car offers enough to get you around to where you need to go. You can also choose from 10 different colors, as an option, of course! If I’m perfectly honest, I think the car looks great on the outside! I have to admit there are a few competitors that look better, like the Opel Mokka X or the Peugeot 2008, but this makes up with its subtle redesign to give it similar looks to the larger Renault Kadjar, which we really enjoyed! We drove the Intens version, which is Captur’s top spec, but something that’s really cool is the fact that even the Life spec, which is standard on all cars comes with 16-inch alloy wheels, C-Shape LED daylights, two-tone color scheme and other smart features. It’s very different from its brothers (the Kadjar and the Koleos), but we’ll talk more about that in a minute. The lack of any fast-charging ability is a bit of a let-down too, and then there’s the price.Out of all the three new Renault Crossovers, this Captur was the only one we haven’t tested, until 2 weeks back. Well, it’s not a bad plug-in effort from Renault this, but it’s hard to shake the feeling that the E-Tech powertrain works better in the smaller (non-PHEV) Clio. The 379-litre boot is slightly down on the internal combustion Capturs, though. All E-Techs will get that (frustratingly unresponsive) central 9.3-inch portrait touchscreen, as well as a 10-inch digital dial screen and a wireless phone charger in the dash. Well, much like the exterior, there isn’t much difference from the combustion engined Capturs.

You do get a free wallbox from BP Chargemaster though. In real-world driving it’ll depend how regularly you make trips that are longer than 30 miles. Renault claims 188.3mpg and 34g/km on the WLTP cycle, but then this is a PHEV so that’s a brilliantly unsensible answer.
It’s a crossover, so it’s far from what you’d call exciting, but this second-gen is civilised enough and more than acceptable for daily life.Ī brilliantly sensible question. It’s all very well thought-through stuff, and the Captur reflects that in the way it rides and handles. Pure is Renault’s name for all-electric drive, whilst E-Save allows you to run on the (rather gruff) engine alone and save at least 40 per cent of EV power for later urban driving. You’ll most often use the automatic MySense setting though, which still offers reasonably linear acceleration with less of the rubber banding sounds you get in a CVT gearboxed hybrid.

Ambitious.Īnyway, that Sport mode offers the powertrain’s full forward potential. That may not seem like the most pertinent stat here, but put the Captur into Sport mode and the central screen shows a picture of it on a track. The hybrid system combines to produce a total of 158bhp and 257lb ft of torque, which in turn means a top speed of 107mph and a 0-62mph time of 10.1 seconds. Well the first thing to note is that the E-Tech is now the most powerful Captur available for UK buyers.
