Ten Second Review
Renault's little Captur Crossover model has matured nicely in this smarter second generation guise. It's now a little bigger but as before, is a Clio-based design offering super-economical engines, some genuinely clever interior touches and no small dose of style. It'll appeal to supermini buyers wanting extra versatility as well as family hatchback customers in search of something more interesting and affordable. And it's the kind of car that'll certainly drive sales in this segment.
Background
You can't fault the thinking behind the modern SUV Crossover, a class of car that aims to blend the versatility of a people carrying MPV, the attitude of a high-riding SUV and the sharp driving dynamics of a family hatchback. It's a segment that's now divided into a couple of sectors, the larger one typified by cars like Nissan's Qashqai and Peugeot's 3008 and based on Focus-sized models. The real sales growth though, is coming from smaller-sized supermini-based SUVs, cars that have built on the original success of Nissan's pioneering Juke and are now a hot ticket for almost every mainstream brand. Here's one of the most tempting - the second generation version of Renault's Captur.
It continues to be based on the Clio supermini and is priced to sell at the more affordable end of this segment, claimed strongpoints being extra versatility and buyer personalisation, along with class-leading running costs and a decently responsive driving experience. Let's check it out.
Driving Experience
So what's it like? If you're used to a supermini, the more commanding driving position will be welcome - unless you're the kind of enthusiastic owner who realises that with extra ride height, you usually also get extra body roll through the bends. This second generation model's new CMF-B platform is lighter and stiffer than the old Captur's underpinnings, which should improve refinement and handling.
Under the bonnet, there are three petrol units and two diesel engines. The 100hp three-cylinder 1.0-litre TCe with a five-speed manual gearbox is the entry-level option. Next up is a four-cylinder 1.3-litre TCe powerplant with either 130hp or 155hp. Both versions are offered with a seven-speed dual-clutch auto gearbox; you can have a six-speed manual on the lower-powered model.
And diesel? Well there are a couple of dCi options, both versions of Renault's four-cylinder 1.5 Blue dCi with 95hp and 115hp. Both come fitted with a six-speed manual, while a seven-speed EDC auto is offered on the 115hp version. There's also now the option of a plug-in hybrid, the 'E-Tech plug-in' model, which uses a 1.6-litre petrol engine and has a couple of electric motors powered by a 9.8kWh battery and a multi-mode direct-transmission auto gearbox. Renault reckons this package is good for 28 miles of WLTP all-electric range and has an electrified top speed of 83mph.
Design and Build
This second generation Captur looks a sportier thing, primarily because of its stylised LED headlamps which are like those on the latest generation Clio supermini. In MK2 form, this car is 110mm longer, 20mm wider and fractionally taller than before. At the rear, there's a smarter set of C-shaped LED tail-lamps.
And inside? Well Renault's switch to its new CMF-B platform for this MK2 model Captur has made significant special gains possible here. You'll particularly notice that at the rear. As with the previous model, there's a sliding rear bench, which moves back and forth by 16cm to maximise legroom or boot space. At the front, there's a completely redesigned dash, complete with a portrait-style centre infotainment touchscreen display that's either 7-inches or 9.3-inches in size depending on trim and is smartphone 'Apple CarPlay'/'Android Auto'-compatible. The fascia also features a floating centre console that increases storage space.
Upper-spec models get a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster in place of analogue dials. This set-up will be optional on lesser models, which instead feature two seven-inch displays as standard. As for luggage room, well position the seats to maximise luggage space and cargo capacity is 536 litres; that's 81-litres more than in the previous-generation car. There's an adjustable-height boot floor and 1,234-litres of space when you flatten the 60/40-split rear bench.

I've got one for 3 months! same colour(dezir red and black roof)I'm smiling every day😉
Great review, i have my captur since August in Germany, i really enjoy the car, i did a road trip to Greece through Italy, 700 km from my home in Germany to Ancona port cost me 40 euros in petrol with 1.04 euros per liter.
An absolutely incredibly well-considered, in-depth and informative review. The time and effort into mixing this high-quality video and writing up the manuscript exceed regular car reviews by far. Thank you very much for taking your time to share your review.
Our pleasure, Kasper. Thank you for watching! Make sure to subscribe for more in-depth car reviews: bit.ly/319ZKoT
The best reviews by far - well done!
Thank you for watching!
22:20 *The **_Ambient lighting_** is achieved with Fibre Optics (cable) not LED's. Great Review of a super Car, far more attractive than the Nissan Juke recently reviewed*
Got mine about 6 weeks ago. It's a lovely car to drive. Quiet, handles well. Mine is same colour as this one reviewed. I have the 1 litre engine, but it doesn't feel as slow as the figures suggest to me. I chose it because of the styling, and because it ticked all the boxes for me. Took me by surprise to be honest. I'm very pleased with it.
We bought the Bose launch edition and its fantastic 1.33 6 speed manual in Highland Silver with Black Roof.
I have the one litre TCE100 in a Duster and I love it. Very zippy, quick to react.
This is what a proper car review looks like! kudos
Thanks for the great feedback!
Amen to that!
Fantastic comprehensive review. OSV by far the most professional on the web.
We're glad you found the review helpful, Mary. Thank you for watching 👍
Nice one!
I bought a 1st gen facelift Captur late in 2018, overall I'm pretty happy with it (it's practical, comfy, nimble, reliable, and reasonably economical). Here are the biggest cons for me though:
- body roll in sharp turns is too much
- there are no curtain airbags
- brakes are somewhat weak (there are drum brakes on the back wheels, and unbelievably they are STILL there in the 2nd gen!!).
Btw there's a problem with editing in this video (repeated segment on depreciation and insurance groups from 1:03:50 to 1:05:13)
Thank you for your feedback and apologies for the editing issue 👍
Bought one last week. Delighted with it
We're glad to hear you're enjoying your new car, Dave!
Picked my Captur up last week and absolutely love it. I went for the S-Edition with the 155 EDC engine which feels silky smooth and is extremely quick for a small SUV. Although in the video you mention lumber support is not available I opted for the Luxury pack with heated leather seats which actually comes with adjustable lumbar support for the driver and an electric seat. Also, have the 360 camera which is a very worthwhile option and makes parking a breeze :)
Great to hear you're enjoying your new Captur, Chris!
Excellent comprehensive review. Thank you.

The best review so far I watched. With lots of details, and the best part is the comparisons with other similar cars, some of them are on my list too, such as Kia.
I am getting Renault Captu Zen next week. Anyway, thank you for the effort of this review.

*Parked next to one today, the first 70 Plate seen. Against my Mercedes B200 CDi (W247) surprised how big it was, seemed about the same size*
I have a MB B18,with Renault engine. Thinking of replacing it with a Captur.Should be cheaper to run...............
Nice review, but please add some technical details about micro hybrid version, second 12 V battery and its usage...
Best review of the car in the whole internet.
Thank you.
Grettings from Germany
Wow, that's amazing to hear! Many thanks for watching 👍
Excellent review!
Our pleasure!
Great review. 🎉
Very nice review. One question . I want buy captur 1.0tce(100hp). I drive mostly in city but once per year drive 4000km across europe. Is big problem(in sense of lifespan) drive 1.0 tce long trip 130-140km/h(3300rpm). Is that much for that engine!
It will definitely stress the engine more. It's not meant to do long distances at that speed.
May I draw your attention to the 5th Variant you missed - The BOSE Launch Edition based on the S Edition. This is what we have just bought as a replacement to our 2018 Zoe which we can no longer trust Renault to repair correctly as we have a 2013 Zoe which has been with the dealer over 8 months, So there was no possible way we would consider the E-Tech variant at £31,000 being that even now the Zoe ZE50 has faults that have been found on the 2013 Zoe's.
Hi Artful,
Thank you for the information. We hope you enjoy your new Renault.
Hi, may I ask - if you had a negative experience with Renault's reliability (the 2018 Zoe), I'm curious why you bought another Renault ?
Nice looking CUV....
Music ".... turn around .. TURN AROUND.."
Is this car metallic please
55:50 *Find those MPG Figures somewhat unimpressive as in my Mercedes B200 CDi AMG 2019 (Diesel) 8 Speed have achieved 85.6 MPG on a 108 Mile Trip **_from cold start_** with an average speed of 53 mph. In 'ECO' Mode [in the Mercedes] when lifting throttle, disengages gearbox and 'freewheels' - amazing how far you can 'coast' when downhill or approaching roundabouts etc. Maybe one day all cars will have this feature as it obviously aids economy and CO² emissions. On a recent round trip of 302 Miles showed 78.3 MPG - less than 4 Gallons (17½ Litres @ £1.09 = £19.07) used to drive over 300 Miles - astounding efficiency.*
Wow, that's fascinating.
When driven slow enough any recent Diesel car is able to do 100 MPG...
I do around 75 MPG on a 2014 V40 Volvo diesel 1.6 @ 95km/h average, I can do much better ... just slower
..your comment is totally irrelevant.
Very good review
Many thanks for watching!
I've bought one and I'm picking it up on Friday. It's a manual but has a push button handbrake how does this work, is it ok.
Congratulations on your purchase! The push-button handbrake in your Renault Captur is designed for convenience. It typically works by engaging the parking brake when pressed and releasing it when pressed again. While it may feel different from a traditional handbrake lever, it's designed to function just as effectively.
Hi could you tell me how much manufacturers warranty is there on a 2019 Renault Captur GT
Thanks
Hey Joshua, your Captur would be covered for up to 5 years or 100k miles (whichever comes first) 👍
@@OsvUkVehicleSupply hi are you sure I'm not being cheeky or anything but I went to a Renault dealer and bought a car off them they said it had 1 years guarantee on it. it was a 2019 Renault Captur GT line model. after I paid him £300 cash for an extra years guarantee he said I would have 2 years left how does that work out I should have 3-years surely? Thank you for your help
Drum brakes, why?
Can it be really considered a family car to go on holiday? I've got two teenagers and growing quickly

Is this car metallic fiery red
Hi Ann, this vehicle is in Flame Red 👍 If you're interested in getting one, feel free to get in touch: bit.ly/39YHCml
That little engine is what worries me. I think I'll save up for the mazda CX-30.
The engines are the same as in the Duster, and there they are great. The TCE100 I like the most. But the CX-30 is also a very good car, if you dont mind the steep jump in pricing.
Unbelievable reviews
Unbelievable comment 👍
benchmark in reviews ...
French CVT is scary :(
Dont sound exciting?
These are comfortable to drive and the steering is good, but the engine and transmission is below par. Rattly engine and indifferent power delivery from the three cylinder engine. Interior rattles as well, and this is on a brand new 70 plate that I had for a day. Avoid. Get a Subaru XV instead.
LOL
Ale cacko.
Second generation a massive improvement but still with rear drum brakes. Come on Renault you really are having a laugh. New five year warranty a nice touch.
Drum breaks are absolutely fine in a regular car.
I'm a mechanic of 35 years, and are considering a Captur for my wife. Noticed the rear drums, simple ample and easier to maintain than discs with intergrated park brake.
french cars are generally very bad in term of built...they dont last long..go for korean cars..
