Here's CAR's full review of the new 2024 Renault Captur crossover. Tested in various trims and with a new interior and design.
It’s hard to keep up at Renault Towers at the moment. It’s gone from having a handful of cars just a couple of years ago to a line-up fit to burst, and it keeps growing. In 2024 alone it is introducing three new models – the electric Scenic,
You also get an Alpine badge on a Captur for the first time courtesy of a new Espirit Alpine trim, as seen on the Clio andi, for that matter – with a choice of one petrol and one hybrid. Renault previously offered a plug-in hybrid model but the firm acknowledges that it wasn’t right for the car, and only accounted for around three per cent of total sales, and is now resigned to the history books.
The majority of buyers, however, are expected to opt for the entry-level petrol – a 1.0-litre turbocharged engine producing a fairly measly 89bhp and 160Nm of torque. You can only get it with a six-speed manual gearbox, so if you want an automatic you’ll need a hybrid. Though we haven’t had a chance to try it yet, performance figures aren’t anything to shout about it – 0-62mph will take up 14.2 seconds off your life, and it’ll hit 104mph if maxed out. Renault claims 47mpg with it too.
The Captur’s powertrains are a weakness, with the regular petrol seeming underpowered and the hybrid not especially smooth. Though Renault has continued to evolve its E-Tech hybrid setup over time, and it’s a dramatic improvement compared to when it first debuted – the sheer complexity of the gearbox means the car is often fumbling about to find the right mode when you put your foot down.
Though the Captur might be Renault’s smallest SUV, it’s still usefully spacious, and more so than the Clio. Rear space isn’t as generous as a, but there’s room in the back for adults and 422-litre boot a decent size, though is smaller on the hybrids as that’s where the battery is fitted.Renault has been pretty aggressive with its pricing of late and the Captur is no different. Prices start from £21,095 for the petrol and £24,595 for the hybrid, both usefully undercutting most rivals.
