There’s room for two/three adults in the back and it has a party trick because the rear bench can slide forwards and backwards, trading rear legroom for boot space. The extra space and comfortable new seats mean it’s now a very pleasant place to while away a journey, while the fluid design and soft-touch plastics used high up in the cabin add a touch of class. Safety kit such as lane departure warning, lane keep assist and autonomous emergency braking (AEB) is also included, helping the Captur achieve a maximum five stars in Euro NCAP crash testing.

The familiar scalloped sides and the two-tone ‘floating roof’ are still there, yet compare them side-by-side and it’s clear that the new car has a more muscular, dynamic look. More than 1.5 million Capturs have found homes around the world (142,000 in the UK) and it’s the best-selling model in its class across Europe.įast forward to 2020 and it’s time to welcome the all-new Captur, though at first sight the second-generation car is incredibly similar to its predecessor. When it was originally launched in 2013, the Renault Captur followed the Nissan Juke as a pioneer in the new compact crossover segment.Ī lot has changed since then and it’s now a crowded marketplace, with serious competition from the likes of the Volkswagen T-Cross, Ford Puma, Skoda Kamiq, Nissan Juke, Seat Arona and Peugeot 2008.
