The 108bhp dCi diesel engine is impressively refined, although it becomes vocal in town on a trailing throttle and on long uphill roads, the driver needs to stay on the ball and drop down a ratio to keep the car’s speed up. The engine is a good match for the company’s new dual-clutch ’box, which was almost complete viceless unless you stamped on the accelerator. The 118bhp unit has the legs for twisting hill roads while proving to be very smooth on the motorways.
#RENAULT CAPTUR 2019 MANUAL#
Renault offers the Captur with its sweet and punchy small petrol turbo engine, which drives through a six-speed manual or dual-clutch automatic gearbox. There’s also a double-sided (carpet and rubber) hard boot floor that splits the rear luggage space and creates a substantial – and hidden – storage space. With the sliding rear seat set right back, you get a reasonable 377-litre boot, extending to a healthy 455 litres with the bench slid fully forward. Renault has also patented the removable seat covers. Inside, the fresh-looking dash plastics are finished in a modern dimple pattern and there are some usefully deep cubby holes in the centre console. Getting the Renault Captur out on the road The decent 2.6m-long wheelbase works with a 60/40 split rear bench seat that also slides to allow up to 215mm of kneeroom. It is quite compact, measuring just 4.1m in length and 1.53m high, including a useful 200mm of ground clearance.
The Captur is based on the same platform as the out-going Renualt Clio estate, although it has been modified with a wider track. The Renault Captur S Nav derivative includes much the same minus the traction control system and includes blind spot monitoring, hands-free parking system, a part Nappa leather upholstery and a Bose stereo system. The former includes front and rear parking sensors, a reversing camera, an advanced traction control system, heated front seats, a leather upholstery and Renault's R-Link infotainment system complete TomTom-powered sat nav with live updates and European mapping. Topping the range are the Renault Captur Signature X Nav and Signature S Nav trims. Those wanting a bit more tech are well catered for with the Renault Captur Dynamique S Nav trim, which adds rear parking sensors, automatic folding door mirrors and full LED lights to the package.
#RENAULT CAPTUR 2019 UPGRADE#
Upgrade to Dynamique Nav and you'll find luxuries such as 17in alloy wheels, climate control, chrome interior trim and Renault's MediaNav infotainment system complete with sat nav, DAB radio, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, and a 7.0in touchscreen display. There are still five trims to choose from - Expression+, Dynamique Nav, Dynamique S Nav, Signature X Nav and Signature S Nav.Įntry-level models get 16in alloys, electrically adjustable and heated wing mirrors, LED front fog lights, tinted rear windows, hill start assist, cruise control, and auto lights and wipers as standard on the outside, while inside there is air conditioning, height adjustable driver's seat, electric windows and keyless ignition. The largest change was the increase in standard equipment across the board over the outgoing model.
