![]() There’s plenty of choice when it comes to the Captur’s engines and gearboxes, with two petrols (one with mild hybrid assistance) as well as self-charging and plug-in hybrid petrol options. Worth noting is that the hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions have smaller boots than the petrols due to the addition of the battery packs. With the seats all the way back to maximise rear legroom, the boot shrinks to 422 litres, which is still competitive with most other alternatives. That means the Captur’s boot, at 536 litres with the seats pushed forwards, is the largest of any small SUV. The Captur has a party trick in the back – its rear bench can slide forwards and backwards as one, trading rear legroom for boot space. With so many small SUVs around these days, the Captur had to grow up fast. A pair of adults will fit in comfortably, although getting a third in might prove tight. In the back, the Captur is similarly impressive. You won’t have any complaints in the front – drivers of all sizes will be able to get comfy and see out easily. The quality of the materials inside is high – although maybe the Peugeot 2008 just shades it in this respect. Whichever one you choose, the native menus and response times don’t match the better systems in rivals like the Volkswagen T-Cross and Skoda Kamiq, and Renault’s digital dials don’t look as good and are less configurable than in other small SUVs, too. All other trims get a larger 9.3-inch portrait touchscreen. ![]() DAB radio and Bluetooth are standard, too. And, because it’s now taller, wider and longer than before, and has more distance between the front and rear wheels, there’s more space for people inside, particularly in the back.Įntry (Evolution) and mid-level (Techno) Capturs get a 7.0-inch portrait-orientated infotainment system with built-in sat nav as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can also get navigation through your smartphone. Inside, the Captur has also moved on, getting a new infotainment system, slicker design and upgraded materials. It’s still a Captur, but it looks like it’s been doing some serious training. It’s like comparing a macaron with a digestive – they’re both taken with a cuppa, but the French snack looks more attractive and tastes better.Ĭompared with the first Captur, the current model now has C-shaped LED running lights, LED headlights as standard, a wider grille, redesigned bumpers and larger alloy wheel options. It looks a bit more stylish than conventional alternatives such as the Skoda Kamiq or Volkswagen T-Cross. There's still enough space for the car to be usable by smaller families with young children who don't need much rear legroom, but you may want to compare the E-TECH's boot to those of its internal-combustion-engined siblings if you regularly carry adults in the back.There are loads of small SUVs to choose from these days, so a car needs to have a little something different, a little je ne sais quoi, to stand out. Folding the seats down frees up 1,118 litres in total. There's 265 litres of space with the seats up and the rear bench pushed all the way back, or 379 if you push it all the way forwards. ![]() Sadly, due to its battery, the E-TECH can hold considerably less luggage than the roomier petrol version. Boot spaceīoot space gets progressively smaller in the petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid Captur models. Renault offers a rubber liner for the boot, as well as a standard front centre armrest with storage. Headroom is plentiful, too.Įach door has a bin that can fit a 1.5-litre bottle, while up front there's a useful spot for your phone and some cupholders on the centre console. This means if you aren't using the boot, you can free up legroom that most other small SUVs can't match. Much like the first-generation Captur, the current car has a clever interior that can be adjusted to prioritise space for passengers or luggage as needed, thanks to a sliding rear bench. Renault Captur E-TECH Plug-In Hybrid interior space, storage & comfort ![]() The batteries for the hybrid system do cut into boot space, but there's a workaround that should help you juggle between boot and passenger space easily as needed. However, while it looks much like the car it replaced, the latest Captur is larger in all directions and boasts a flexible interior that's packaged more sensibly than before. The Renault Captur E-TECH is based on the same platform as the Renault Clio, so it's not the biggest SUV going. ![]()
