Renault’s small SUV is like a bungalow with a loft conversion. Taking its Clio small car as a base, Renault has knocked a few walls down, raised the floor and extended the roof to give you more interior space than you get in a Clio, but without the pay-off of massive exterior dimensions and the inflated running costs that come with them. Read on for our Renault Captur review.
Sharing a platform with the popular Renault Clio and also the Nissan Juke, the Renault Captur has dimensions that sit at 4227mm long, 1797mm wide and 1576mm tall. That makes it an alternative to the Skoda Kamiq, the big-selling Ford Puma and another French challenger, the Peugeot 2008.
It takes a lot to stand out in this crowded small SUV segment, but the Captur offers cheerful looks and a feelgood interior that mean it’s one of the better options.
Practicality has been a focus for the Captur’s designers, and the current model is slightly longer, wider and taller than its predecessor, giving it more interior space.
Front-seat passengers won’t feel cramped at all, and in the rear a sliding bench allows you to prioritise boot or passenger space. It’s a handy feature that means you’ll have no issues getting tall adults in the back, but equally can slide the rear seats forward to increase boot capacity when needed.
Renault has also been generous with storage space, with a large bin between the front seats and decent-sized pockets in all four doors.
Interior quality is great, with soft-touch plastics up front and neat touches such as knurled stalk caps. Naturally, the further up the range you go, the nicer it gets – Esprit Alpine models feature a frameless rear-view mirror and a heated synthetic leather steering wheel.
The infotainment is also pretty impressive, particularly since the new Google-based system was introduced in 2024. All models get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, too, so you can mirror your phone’s display and use its apps on the car’s big screen.
Link your phone to the infotainment screen, get on the move and you’ll find there’s very little to complain about. The Renault’s upright driving position and light controls make it easy to drive, but the weighty steering means it doesn’t feel flighty at speed. It’s not as direct as a Ford Puma, but it’s more comfortable.
There’s an engine for all requirements, too. You can choose from petrol and hybrid models, although diesel and plug-in hybrid variants have since been dropped from the range. We'd go for the Renault Captur E-Tech hybrid - it's very efficient and usefully more powerful than the entry-level petrol.
The Captur scores highly in the value-for-money stakes. Even entry-level models get a reversing camera, the impressive infotainment system and a range of advanced driver-assist systems. With prices starting from around £21,000, it significantly undercuts rivals, too.

- Engines range from 0.9 TCE to 1.6 E-Tech Hybrid
- Readers report Real MPG to be between 36–76 mpg
Renault Captur 2025: Handling and ride quality
The Renault Captur is an easy car to drive, helped by decent visibility and light controls. It ticks the 'fit for purpose' box nicely, with little in the way of character or excitement, but that's fine in a small SUV like this.
Revisions to the suspension in 2024 mean it now feels slightly more agile than it did before. That comes at the expense of comfort, though... a Skoda Kamiq copes better with bumpy road surfaces.
Captur Techno models and above get switchable drive modes, allowing you to increase the responsiveness of the engine or the dartiness of the steering when the mood takes you. To be honest, there's not a lot to be gained by switching through them - we'd recommend leaving it in the regular mode.
Renault Captur 2025: Engines
The Captur's engine line-up is now quite simple: it's available with a 1.0-litre petrol engine (paired with a manual gearbox) or a 1.6-litre hybrid (with an auto transmission).
The 1.0-litre is fine around town but, with a power output of just 90PS, it soon starts to feel strained on the open road. It'll accelerate to 62mph in 14.3 seconds, making it one of the slowest cars in its class. At least a six-speed gearbox is now standard, which helps refinement, but you will notice a bit of noise from the thrummy three-cylinder engine.
The hybrid Captur E-Tech is a better option. Although it's a 'self-charging' hybrid system (so you won't need to plug it in), Renault claims that it can travel in pure-electric mode for a significant chunk of time. Unfortunately, it does seem to get flustered quite easily, and we reckon the hybrid setup in the Toyota Yaris Cross is a more refined system. Still, at least it provides a decent amount of power and it's hard to fault in terms of efficiency.
Earlier Renault Captur models were offered with more conventional engines, including a punchy 1.3-litre petrol and even a diesel. The latter is very much out of fashion, now, but might make sense if you cover a lot of out-of-town miles.
Renault Captur 2025: Safety
The Renault Captur was awarded five stars for safety by Euro NCAP in 2019, so it is one of the safest cars of its type. All models come with automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, lane-departure warning, cruise control and rear parking sensors.
Renault Captur 2025: Towing
Hybrid versions of the Renault Captur can tow a maximum of 750kg, while the petrol Captur can tow a braked trailer weighing up to 1200kg.

Renault Captur 2025: Practicality
The Captur is a practical small SUV with a useful sliding rear bench allowing you to prioritise boot or rear passenger space.
While the 616-litre luggage capacity looks huge on paper, it’s worth noting that’s with the bench all the way forward. With it moved back, it drops to 484 litres. The Renault Captur E-Tech loses out on some underfloor stowage space, too, dropping its carrying capacity to just 348 litres. The opening is wide, but high, although there’s no significant lip for hoisting heavy items over.
In the front, you sit higher than you would in some small SUVs. That gives it the edge over the Renault Clio hatchback, should you want to see over hedgerows. There's a decent amount of space in the back, too, provided the bench is slid back. With it in the forward position, there's very little knee room for rear-seat passengers.
Renault Captur 2025: Quality and finish
While you wouldn’t describe the cabin as premium, there are plenty of nice materials and well-thought-through features. We like the toggles on the dash to turn the lane assist tech off, for example.
There are some cheaper-feeling plastics, though, if you go looking for them. Tall occupants might bang their leg on the chunky, plastic centre console, for example, and the glovebox handle feels low-rent.
Everything is fairly well laid out, and there are physical controls for the climate control. The audio controls tacked on to a stalk behind the steering wheel feel something of an afterthought, but that’s unlikely to be a dealbreaker.
Renault Captur 2025: Infotainment
New for 2024 is a Google-powered 10.4-inch touchscreen media system. It's portrait-orientated and angled slightly towards the driver for access access. We like it a lot - it's easy to use, fast to respond and has sharp graphics. Buy a Techno or Esprit Alpine model and you'll even get access to Google services (such as Google Maps).
All Renault Captur models come with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, meaning you can connect your phone for easy access to your favourite apps.
Renault Captur value for money
Renault Captur 2025: Prices
With prices starting from around £21,000, the Renault Captur appears to offer excellent value for money against competitors. For comparison, you'll pay nearly £26,000 for the cheapest Ford Puma, while the Toyota Yaris Cross starts from around £25,500.
You will need to live with the slightly weedy petrol engine for that price, though. The much more desirable hybrid Renault Captur is priced from a little over £24,500, while the range tops out at around £28,000 for a top-spec Captur Esprit Alpine. That's still pretty good value for money, especially when you consider the extensive amount of kit that comes as standard.
If you're not worried about having the latest, facelifted Renault Captur, you can save a lot of money by looking for a secondhand example. A budget of just £11,000 will get you a three-year-old example on the used market.
Renault Captur 2025: Running Costs
You’re not going to be stung by high running costs, no matter which Renault Captur you buy.
The 90PS petrol claims an official return of up to 47.9mpg, while the 145PS E-Tech hybrid manages 60.1mpg. This impressive figure ought to be fairly achievable in the real world, too - indeed, we saw an average of around 60.0mpg during our rural test drive of the hybrid model.
Although it's now been dropped from the range, the Renault Captur was also available as a plug-in hybrid. Take its 217.3mpg fuel economy figure with a pinch of salt, but its 30-mile electric range will be ideal for those with short commutes.
You could also - briefly - get the Captur with diesel power. Its 58.9mpg efficiency wasn't that impressive, though, and is only worthwhile if you cover a lot of motorway miles.

2020 Renault Captur revealed
Renault revealed its new Captur crossover and announced plans to offer it as a plug-in hybrid model. Prices for the standard car start in the region of £16,000 when orders open later this year.
Cosmetically, it's chunkier than before, while LED headlights are now standard across the range. Extra chrome gives it a more upmarket appearance than before, while the lights have been redesigned in-keeping with the rest of the Renault range.
Bigger changes are inside, where Renault has added high-grade materials and soft coverings for the dashboard.
There’s also a new Smart Cockpit featuring an optional 9.3-inch portrait infotainment screen along with a digital instrument cluster available in either 7- or 10-inch layouts.
As before, the new Captur features a sliding rear bench which allows you to prioritise space for rear passengers or luggage. Boot capacity is up 81 litres taking it to 536 litres in total - bigger than the Honda HR-V, SEAT Arona and Ford Ecosport.
Buyers can choose from three petrol and two diesel engines. The petrol options include the new TCe 100 turbocharged three-cylinder 1.0-litre which made its debut in the new Clio, along with 130 and 155 versions of the 1.3-litre TCe engine.
The diesel line-up is made of a Blue dCi engine with 95 or 115PS, with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
E-tech plug-in hybrid model from 2020 combining a 1.6-litre petrol engine with an electric motor and capable of covering up to 28 miles under electric power alone. Its 9.8kWh battery "will always retain enough charge to move away at low speeds under electric power", while a strong regenerative braking system means you'll be able to resort to one-pedal drivin
In a bid to appeal to a youthful market, the new Renault Captur is offered in as many as 90 different colour combinations, with buyers able to choose from different colours for the bodywork, roof, door mirrors and skid plates.
December 2019
Renault Captur prices announced
Renault has revealed UK pricing and specification for its Captur, available to order now, with prices starting at £17,595 and first customer deliveries in March 2020.
In line with Renault’s familiar EasyLife trim line-up, the new Captur is available in three trim levels: Play, Iconic and S Edition.
At launch the new Captur is available with five engine options: three petrol and two diesels. Transmission options run to five or six-speed manuals, plus a seven-speed Efficient Dual Clutch (EDC) automatic. In 2020 these powertrains will be joined by a plug-in petrol-electric hybrid.
Starting the range is the three-cylinder TCe 100, which packs 100PS and 160Nm of torque and is fitted as standard with a five-speed gearbox. Combining sprightly performance with efficiency it promises up to 54.3mpg and emits 118g/km of CO2 (NEDC).
Next up is the TCe 130 that has already been seen in the new Clio, as well as Mégane and Kadjar. It provides 130PS and 240Nm of torque and can be combined with either six-speed manual or seven-speed EDC transmissions.
The TCe 155 is the flagship engine for performance, with 155PS and 270Nm. It’s available exclusively with the seven-speed EDC transmission.
Both the diesel engines are based on the well-proven 1.5-litre four-cylinder unit. In dCi 95 guise it offers 95PS and 240Nm, while the dCi 115 increases these outputs to 115PS and 260Nm. While the former is available exclusively with the six-speed manual, the dCi 115 can also be ordered with the seven-speed EDC.
From 2020 All-New Captur will become the first model in its class to be offered with a plug-in hybrid engine. Called E-TECH Plug-in it has been designed to appeal to customers where the new Captur will be the household’s only vehicle, capable of driving up to 28 miles at speeds of up to 83mph in pure electric mode.

Five year 100,000 mile warranty announced
Available on all New Captur models. The five-year warranty applies to both retail and fleet cars and features an unlimited mileage limit during the first two years and up to 100,000 miles up to 5 years old.
January 2020
Renault Captur E-Tech plug-in hybrid announced
With a 9.8kWh battery, the Captur E-Tech can run under electric power for 30 miles with a top speed of 85mph.
The Captur E-Tech is fitted with a new driving mode: ‘Pure’, allowing for all-electric driving.
It also has a special feature, available in Sport mode. If the battery has enough charge, and by fully depressing the accelerator pedal, the electric motors and the petrol engine work together thanks to the series-parallel architecture. The vehicle can then tap into the powertrain’s full potential; especially useful when overtaking, for example.
Another feature called ‘E-Save’ limits the use of the electric motor and draws power from the combustion motor, thereby saving battery power (at least 40%) allows driving electric whenever the driver wants for example, to drive into city centres.
In mixed cycle, the Captur E-Tech is expected to return 188mpg and emit about 34 grams of CO2/km (WLTP). This requires an optimised usage of the 100 per cent mode.
‘E-Tech Plug-in Hybrid’ logos are affixed to the hatch of the Captur's boot and centre post. The petrol tank is on the left-hand side of the vehicle; the charging socket, located on the right, which has a light that gives colour-coded information as to the state of the charging process: blue (charging), green (charged), orange (waiting), red (no charge).
Inside, the seating remains unchanged with the rear seat still able to slide 16cm. A space under the hinged false floor allows to store charging cables without encroaching on the boot volume.
E-Tech markers are also located on the ‘Smart Cockpit’ and come with unique personalisation elements and an ‘E-Tech Plug-in Hybrid’ badge on the gear stick. The Stop-and-Start button has been replaced by an ‘EV’ button to switch directly to ‘PURE’ mode while driving. The electric gear stick ‘e-shifter’ (no mechanical cables) comes with a ‘Brake’ function to get the most out of regenerative braking.
April 2024
Facelifted Renault Captur announced, first deliveries Q3 2024
The refreshed Renault Captur has been revealed, featuring a revised exterior design intended to give the popular small SUV a more athletic and upmarket look.
There's new front bumpers and revised lights front and rear, similar to those used on the latest Clio. The Captur is available in six colours and three trim levels - evolution, techno and esprit Alpine, with each getting 17, 18- or 19-inch alloys respectively.
The interior benefits from an OpenR Link multimedia system and a new dashboard screen of up to 10.25 inches depending on the trim level. The infotainment system includes Google built-in on Captur techno and esprit Alpine models, which Renault claims is a first for a car in this segment.
The Captur also benefits from new upholstery, USB-C sockets, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and wireless smartphone chargeing as standard across the range
Two powertrain options are available: the 1.0 TCE 90PS and the
1.6 E-Tech full hybrid 145PS, while the new Captur also benefits from retuned suspension for a more comfortable ride.
June 2024
Revised Renault Captur now available to order with prices starting from £21,095
Renault has opened order books for the revised Renault Captur. Three trim levels are available – evolution, techno and esprit Alpine - and buyers will have the choice of two engines - a 1.0-litre TCe 90 turbo three-cylinder petrol engine, or 1.6-litre E-Tech full hybrid 145 with economy of up to 60.1 mpg. Prices start from £21,095.
Like the Clio, the Captur has been given a fresh look, bringing it into line with the Renault brand’s latest design language. The Captur features a striking front end design that now includes full LED lights.
On the inside, the Captur benefits from an updated OpenR Link infotainment system with Google built-in, all accessed through a new 10.4-inch vertical touchscreen. A 10.25-inch digital instrument display provides information for the driver.
Ensuring comprehensive connectivity with your smartphone, all Capturs feature USB-C sockets, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, and a wireless smartphone charger.
The Captur also benefits from new upholstery made from recycled fabrics, with no use of leather or chrome for enhanced sustainability.
Deliveries of the updated Captur are scheduled to begin in Q3 2024.

Renault Captur updated with new hybrid tech for 2026 model year
The Renault Captur has received a more powerful hybrid E-Tech 160 powertrain and improved standard equipment levels for the 2026 model year.
The Captur hybrid E-Tech 160 replaces the previous 145PS version with a larger 1.8-litre petrol engine and a larger 1.4 kWh battery, up from 1.26 kWh. Renault claims the new powertrain uses 5% less fuel while also cutting a second from the 0-62mph time.
All trim levels in the Captur range now get an electric parking brake with auto-hold as standard. Adaptive cruise control with speed limiter is now standard on mid-range techno trim and above for all hybrid models.
The range-topping esprit Alpine trim gets lane centering, occupant safe exit, blind spot recognition, rear detection with emergency lane keeping assist, and rear cross traffic alert all as standard. A new child locking function for the rear doors and windows is also included.
Orders are now open and prices for the Captur hybrid E-Tech 160 start at £25,195.
