![]() Broadly speaking, this is a trap Renault has avoided here - provided your expectations in each of these areas aren't too great. Of course, there's always a danger with this class of car that in its mix of SUV, MPV and family hatch, you end up with a confection lacking the core strengths inherent in any of these three genres. Passionate and practical, this MK2 model Captur is an endearing thing. Depreciation levels will be very similar to those of other mainstream-brand superminis in this segment. This package also includes roadside assistance for the duration, though bear in mind that the final two years of the policy will be invalidated in the unlikely event that your Captur covers more than 100,000 miles. The four year '4+' warranty deal looks good too, given that most rivals restrict you to three year cover. You can plan ahead for maintenance costs by opting at point of purchase for a pre-paid servicing plan covering you for either three years and 30,000 miles, or four years and 40,000 miles. For ultimate frugality, you'll need the E-TECH Plug-in Hybrid 160 model, which offers a 31 mile electrified WLTP-rated driving range and returms up to 217.3mpg and up to 30g/km. the figures of the alternative TCe 140 are much the same (48.7mpg and 131g/km). That's a good deal better than the base TCe 90 model, which manages 47.9mpg on the combined cycle and up to 134g/km of CO2. Renault has finally abanadoned the provision of diesel power in this segment, so if you can't stretch to a PHEV, your most frugal option with the Captur when it comes to WLTP-rated stats is the self-charge E-TECH Hybrid 145 version, which manages 58.9mpg on the combined cycle and up to 108g/km of CO2. Standard kit across the range includes things like alloy wheels, daytime running lights, cruise control with a speed limiter, a trip computer, a height-adjustable driver's seat, power front windows and mirrors, Bluetooth 'phone compatibility, a decent quality USB and AUX-in-compatible stereo with fingertip control, plus Hill Start Assist to stop you from drifting backwards on uphill junctions. ![]() The alloy wheel sizes range from 16 to 18 inches. Renault is offering 11 exterior colours and four contrasting roof finishes, which mean there are 90 different configurations for buyers to choose from. ![]() Pay extra for GPS navigation and you get a 9.3-inch centre screen. Turned towards the driver, this screen, with its EASY LINK connected system, comprises all the multimedia, navigation and infotainment features as well as the car's MULTI-SENSE driving settings. This vertical and subtly curved tablet visually enlarges the dashboard and lends the cabin a more contemporary feel. Standard kit across the range includes what Renault calls its 'Smart Cockpit', a key component of which is the standard 7-inch multimedia screen, the biggest ever on a Renault model. Across the mainstream part of the line-up, there are five trim levels, 'Evolution', 'Techno', 'Rive Gauche', 'R.S. You'll need from around £25,000 for the E-Tech Hybrid 145 HEV variant and from just under £31,500 for the E-TECH Plug-in Hybrid 160 auto versions. Prices see a span in the £22,500 to £33,000 bracket across the range. There's an adjustable-height boot floor and 1,275-litres of space when you flatten the 60/40-split rear bench. As for luggage room, well position the seats to maximise luggage space and cargo capacity is 536 litres with the conventionally-engined models that's 81-litres more than in the previous-generation car. This set-up will be optional on lesser models, which instead feature two seven-inch displays as standard. Upper-spec models get a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster in place of analogue dials. The fascia also features a floating centre console that increases storage space. At the front, there's a completely redesigned dash, complete with a portrait-style centre infotainment touchscreen display that's either 7-inches or 9.3-inches in size depending on trim and is smartphone 'Apple CarPlay'/'Android Auto'-compatible. As with the previous model, there's a sliding rear bench, which moves back and forth by 16cm to maximise legroom or boot space. ![]() You'll particularly notice that at the rear. At the rear, there's a smarter set of C-shaped LED tail-lamps.Īnd inside? Well Renault's switch to its new CMF-B platform for this MK2 model Captur has made significant special gains possible here. In MK2 form, this car is 110mm longer, 20mm wider and fractionally taller than before. This second generation Captur looks a sportier thing, primarily because of its stylised LED headlamps which are like those on the latest generation Clio supermini.
