12/17/2023 0 Comments Captur 2012![]() While Renault generally does better than you might expect in reliability surveys - it’s usually around mid-table in most of them - the Captur doesn’t seem to be one of its better efforts, slipping behind the likes of the Ford Puma and Skoda Kamiq in reliability terms.Įarly hybrid models seemed to have an issue dealing with steep hills, often slowing down excessively on them, but a software update should have cured that. What to look for when buying a second hand Renault Captur The ride quality gets quite lumpy and overly firm at low speeds, which is really annoying when you think cars like the Captur will spend most of their lives in-town. To drive, the Captur is fine, but nothing more and it won’t appeal to an enthusiastic driver. The cabin looks stylish, especially with the bigger of the two touchscreen options, but the software that runs on those screens is quite fiddly and annoying to use - the likes of VW and Ford do this stuff better, while the Captur’s interior quality isn’t as good as it looks at first. It’s a little noisy at times, but it’s super-frugal if you drive it right, and easier to use than the heavy and complicated plug-in hybrid, but that’s a good choice if you do lots of in-town driving and can charge up at home overnight, thanks to a 28-mile electric range. The 1.3 turbo is a better option for long journeys, but the ‘self-charging’ 1.6 hybrid is probably the best all-rounder. The basic 90hp version of the 1.0-litre turbo three-cylinder petrol engine does the job fine, but it does feel a touch gutless on the motorway. ![]() It’s also a very practical car for families - there’s lots of space in the back seats - and the boot can be expanded, by sliding those same back seats forward - to a massive 536 litres.Īh, there’s a catch though - if you’re buying a hybrid or plug-in hybrid version of the Captur, you will have to put up with a smaller boot, as the battery goes under the boot floor. ![]() For a little bit of joie de vivre in your crossover, why not try a Renault Captur? Launched in 2019, this second-generation model gets the same handsome styling as the smaller Clio, and a smart-looking cabin too. The roads are full of small SUVs right now, so if you want to stand out from the pack, just a little, it helps to have some French style on your side. ![]()
