Known as Clio’s big brother – but with even more tech, the new Renault Captur is available to order now with prices starting from £21,095

Versatile and multi-talented, it is both compact on the outside and spacious on the inside. Its high driving position is appreciated by its owners, allowing easy access and good visibility of the road.

More expressive inside and out, the new Captur’s styling delivers a unique twist of elegance and sporting spirit. New upholstery and new dashboard displays stand out, with the OpenR Link multimedia system with Google built-in providing the very best in on-board technology with Android Automotive 12, a world first in the B-segment. Wireless smartphone connectivity and wireless charging are standard across the range.

Two engine choices are available – a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo petrol or Renault’s innovative E-Tech full hybrid 145 powertrain, delivering low emissions and impressive fuel economy of up to 60.1 mpg.

The three-model range – evolution, techno, and esprit Alpine, a first for Captur – is available to order now with prices starting from only £21,095.

Exterior design
The new Renault Captur takes on a more athletic look with premium styling, featuring the Nouvel’R one-piece logo built into the multi-faceted grille, and a higher, more horizontal bonnet. The design creates a play of light that sets off multiple reflections across the front grille, like a wave rippling out from the diamond in the centre towards the headlights and the bumper, with its tiny embossed parallelograms.

The new front lights feature full LED technology as standard on all levels of trim. The LED daytime running lights take on a vertical half-diamond shape, inspired by the brand logo. The headlights come to life in a new welcome sequence when the doors are unlocked remotely, creating a friendly, modern effect.

The rear light housing is now transparent, revealing the structure of the light units inside. Combined with the new logo and redesigned diffuser, this feature gives the rear end a more contemporary look with a higher level of perceived quality.

The evolution trim features 17-inch alloy wheels and a matt black finish on the lower body and beltline with long, black front and rear skid plates. The mid-range techno trim features all-new 18-inch alloy wheels and a High Gloss Black finish on the lower body and beltline. The new esprit Alpine trim is immediately identifiable, with its Ice Black logos, High Gloss Black window surrounds, 19-inch wheels of specific design, aerodynamic splitter, and front and rear skid plates with matt grey finish.

Six body colours are available: arctic white, oyster grey, diamond black, ceramic grey, iron blue and flame red. The two-tone colour scheme, which is optional on techno and standard on esprit Alpine, includes diamond black for the roof and door mirrors.

Interior design
The new Captur features the OpenR Link multimedia system with Google built-in (on techno and esprit Alpine trim levels), accessed via a new 10.4-inch vertical touchscreen that lets users take full advantage of exclusive interactive content, together with a wide range of services.

OpenR Link makes every journey easier. Simple to use and hyperconnected, it is as intuitive to use as a smartphone. As well as being fully customisable, the interface is compatible with Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® with wireless smartphone connectivity as standard. Google services such as Google Maps, Google Assistant, and over 50 (depending on the country) Google Play apps can be accessed at the touch of a finger, just like on a smartphone.

The new Captur gains dashboard screens measuring up to 10.25 inches diagonally, depending on the version. For digital in-car entertainment, front passengers have access to two USB-C sockets and a 12V socket, with another in the boot. On techno and esprit Alpine, two further USB-C sockets are available behind the central armrest for rear passengers, while a wireless phone charger in the centre console is standard across the range.

The interior ambience is immediately modern and welcoming, with its all-new upholstery. The heather grey seat fabric on the evolution trim gains yellow top-stitching on techno, with a Renault diamond pattern on the interior side supports of the front seats. The new esprit Alpine trim features sustainable synthetic leather on the seats and door panels and a blue-grey insert on the dashboard. The cabin also makes many nods to the Alpine brand, with the national flag in the side piping, seatbelts with blue top-stitching, aluminium-plated sports pedals, branded door sills and a special steering wheel.

Passenger knee room at the rear is still among the best on the market, at 221 mm, thanks to a rear bench seat designed to slide back as much as 16 cm. This allows users to create more space for cargo or passengers as required. The cabin includes a total of 24.7 litres of storage space, including a 7-litre glovebox.

In terms of boot capacity, the new Captur ranks among the best on the market, with maximum volume of 616 litres when the rear bench seat is pushed fully forward (a gain of 132 litres. The boot is modular, with a rear bench seat sliding over 16 cm and a removable floor creating a flat space. With the rear seats folded (2/3-1/3 split), the load length is 1.57m.

A choice of powertrains
With its modern, efficient powertrains, the new Captur is equally at home in the city, on the motorway or on country roads. Two powertrain options are available, starting with the 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbocharged TCe 90 paired with a six-speed manual gearbox to deliver CO2 emissions from 135 g/km and economy of up to 47.9 mpg.

The E-Tech full hybrid 145, meanwhile, features a 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine combined with two electric motors and a smart automatic dog clutch gearbox. It can achieve economy of up to 60.1 mpg while emitting as little as 105 g/km of CO2.

Its series-parallel architecture uses a 36 kW e-motor and an 18 kW HSG (High-voltage Starter Generator) powered by a 1.2 kWh battery. The smart multi-mode dog clutch gearbox has four gears for the petrol engine and two gears for the main electric motor. Fourteen possible combinations of the combustion engine and electric motor optimise its operation. It also delivers the silence of an electric vehicle, without the charging constraints.

A new E-SAVE function, activated by a button to the left of the steering wheel on the dashboard, maintains a battery charge of at least 40%. This ensures optimum performance when driving uphill, for example.

Safety and driver assistance

The new Captur features 18 driving aids (ADAS) divided into three categories: safety, driving and parking. And it now includes Intelligent Speed Assist (ISA), a system that automatically alerts the driver if the car’s speed exceeds the limit it reads on road signs. What’s more, Safety Score and Safety Coach are there to provide added peace of mind for the driver.

A new button –my Safety Shield – lets the driver activate or deactivate the preferred settings of no fewer than five ADAS at the same time, at the touch of a button. These customised settings on the multimedia screen include whether to activate the function, to what level, to allow sound alerts, and so on.
