Agree, and in my country Renault actually gives you a small lether wallet for the key so you can carrying it with your driving license and other car's documents which works great for me personally and I never actually put the key in my trousers nor looking for a space to put it in the car as they always stay in my backpack.
Many people find the key design hilarious, especially when I hand the keys to the valet. But they don't appreciate how nice to carry the key in the pocket.
Fast forward 2026- I imagine someone watching this and trying to figure out why he wants to hide a hand sanitiser and a toilet paper under the boot floor 😂
Similar issue with previous Captur on takeoff due to dual clutch. However, once you get used to it, I have found it is less of an issue. I don’t think it is a deal breaker. Really like the new changes and can’t wait to take it for a test drive. We have no issues with the old one and it is an easy car to live with. Great job Renault!
I unsubscribed to Doug "the quirky" Demuro and am now following you .. you have a more realistic review on vehicles and you seem like a genuine person.
Meanwhile, Doug sells autographed youtube screenshots for 50 bucks. Fucking completely out of touch. Also trashes cheaper cars for not being as nice as Bentleys and shit
Hey Rory, I noticed you have a sunroof spec on this car, and the reversing cameras... Can you tell me if these features are additional/optional extras?
Another excellent video, good to watch a decent well pitched review. I think that key design was started with the Laguna II back in the early 2000s. Always like the way that Renault pack in a lot of tech for your money.
I own a 2015 model which looks fab from the outside, drives well, is well equipped and cheap to run but the interior quality lets it down. This new one on the other hand looks AWESOME on the inside and the dash looks SO COOL. I'd love one when I trade mine in.
Car is sluggish due to automatic gear box, not an issue on the manual version. Rory missed an important point here the car shown is the top spec model s edition so all the bells and whistles. Why is there no mention on pricing?
I have the manual version and it is sometimes very sluggish accelerating from a stopped position. It’s a car that definitely needs you to keep the momentum going.
I have the capture with a manual box..not sluggish at all..i did so far 4000km, including driving to Greece from Germany and back..really nice car, very happy with it. The emergency breaking saved me twice in Italy..the car stoped before my foot hit the break pedal...the 7 hour drive from my house in Germany to Ancona in Italy was a piece of cake..very comfy seats. I dont understand why all cars should be sport cars..anyway..it is a nice car, practical and a looker indeed..
Nice car, and a very watchable, informative review. With Rory here, Mark at HJ, Jonny at Carpervert, Fully Charged, and SavageGeese, I've got the my top 5 car channels sorted..
Love the design... one of the better looking CUVs now on the market. Wish they sold it here in the US. Renault is improving their lineup every generation and making many of them far more desirable than some of VWs offerings. I still think Cupra is top of the class in looks. Those cars are gorgeous even with the new silly logo that looks like a super-hero insignia from a comic book that no one buys.
Great review but as this car is mainly purchased by families, it would be useful if you make the review attaching a baby car seat (They take huge amount of space) and a pram in the boot. (Main reason I am looking for a new car) :)
gonna trade in my clio gt gt (grandtour for the motor 120 PS, 2nd grandtour because its a mini combi) for a Capture with 155 Ps. Iam so stoked when it will arrive. 35.000€ automatic, leather, all assistance and glas roof that can be open. Everything i ever wanted from a car.
The Captur is a car with so much French flair that you either like for its funkiness or hate for being too much French. I think its really cool especially in the two tone colour paintwork and I totally agree with Rory Reid-its a good compact cross over. However, by looking at the front headrests, you'd probably think you are in a Volvo-some imitation there. Thanks Rory for your fair, objective, informative and mostly entertaining reviews.
I can’t decide between this car or the Skoda Kamiq 🤔 I absolutely love the captures technology but the Skoda boot space is very impressive 😬 anyone have this capture? I here’d that Renault have improved their reliability and quality recently otherwise I’d of NEVER considered a Renault I always wanted a Kia Sportage but this capture looks like it tops the sportage by a good few miles 🤷♀️ would love some genuine reviews though?
Thank you for this great review. Looking out for a Captur actually, for me best car "all extras in" for city driving and decent motorway traveling. Do you think the panorama roof is worth the extra money?
I have the 2020 model and my only problem I have with the car compared to my old 2014 model, is the ECO mode, every time you start the engine, you have to go through the options to switch Eco mode on, especially when doing a lot of in town driving.
You won me on "no silly touch screens" comment. Oh wait, I'm in the US, which means I will never get to buy any of these cars. Great review mate, even if I can only dream . Just discovered your channel and I'm now a fan.
Just hired this for a few days, the most dangerous feature is that slow response to acceleration. Almost out me in several dangerous situations- they need to fix this issue. There is either a very slow gradual acceleration or an instant and fast one after 1-2 seconds of your foot going down. Seriously bad. Don’t recommend for that reason but otherwise a nice little car.
The other major issue is the start/stop, when it stops it doesn’t start unless you press the accelerator down and only moves after a 1.5-2 seconds, that’s far too long when you’re trying to drive off with cars behind you! The car should creep forward as soon as you let the break go. Very annoying.
Hey Rory, will you please tell us about its sound system, for example what make its using, how many speakers and bass, if any...because theres us audiophiles who just want to buy a car with good sound aswell as the other features and comfort. :)
I know this was 3 years ago, but was looking at them as a used buy. Might sound odd, but drum brakes on every model at the rear is a deal breaker for me. Even the crappiest cheap hatch has safer and more efficient disk brakes all round.
Most people that will drive this car cannot drive like Rory so can't enjoy a fantastic handling car like it can be enjoyed. That is why they will buy a Renault Captur and be over the moon with it.
I v got the previous model and its fine. Modern rear drum brakes are as good as discs (not for high performance car or race track) . My captur brakes stop better than my Passat (discs all round)
Wow I never thought the day would come where Rory and Autotrader would do a review on a non performance vehicle... still European but something different
"Gold bullion, hand sanitizer, toilet rolls." Gold bullion largely useless at the moment if you can use it to get the other two LOL. Great review Rory. I'm not a massive fan of these jacked up hatchbacks, but as you say, it's a good looking beast.
There’s too many gears, before you get to 45 mph it’s saying change to 6 th gear. The spacing is too close you can change up 2 gears at once easily enough.
Sedans?? nobody in the UK is daft enough to buy saloons any more, as they lose value like a an anvil going down a lift shaft, remember the VW Jetta when did you last see one?>
Absolutely love this review, sad thing is though, we don't have this version of the Captur available in Mexico. It's much more boring inside and out, shame :(
you have already some parts of renault with nissan but you won't see renault logo in usa because Nissan has the US market in first. They have choosen their zones of influence in the world . May be renault will sell its sport brand Alpine in USA but not sure . It would be great for you because Alpine is a nice little sport car with a perfect handling winner of monte carlo rally in the past. an historic brand
It looks really cool. Purposeful and sporty, even butch. But for me, it really needs to have a lot more 'go' to compliment all that 'show'. I'll wait for the Renaultsport version... or probably go for the Puma ST when that comes out.

I bought Renault Captur and I’m very happy,very nice car
I disagree about the key - it is awesome. Slim Line, never bulky in your pocket.
Renault have been doing the keyless thing since the MkII Megane. I didn't realise how much I'd miss it until I bought a SEAT Leon.
what people dont know is if u take the back off u have a key inside for emergencys or u do with my kadjar
Agree, and in my country Renault actually gives you a small lether wallet for the key so you can carrying it with your driving license and other car's documents which works great for me personally and I never actually put the key in my trousers nor looking for a space to put it in the car as they always stay in my backpack.

Your kidding. This Covid nightmare will be remembered for decades to come, never mind a few years.
@@jeffallinson8089 That or there will be a dozen more sorts of covid... i believe we don't yet know just how much we f***ed up this planet
Underrated car.
Looks great.
We rented a reno captur, we are amazed how nicely stilled and all off the tech elements.

The French are knocking out some funk looking cars.
Overstyle junk car
Better than the Renault feugo
Still French though!
Why no mention of the 5year guarantee on Renault cars surely a good selling point and good PEACE OF mind feature
Because autotrader wasn't only inUK.... So the market are very wide.. some market didn't have 5 yes gurantee like u said
I would buy a renault with 5 year warranty over Kia with 7
Bless at least Renault trying
HMiller is a good friend and I will miss the rest of the week is fine for him to have Lots Lots And Jordan 7 fors
Only 5 years? Not good.
Drove the plug-in hybrid version for 2,000km in Iceland, great performance and economy and overall hugely practical and fun.

i owned the 2018 model of captur..it is fun to drive..cant wait for 2020 model to enter my country..
Another excellent review Rory !

Regardless of the gearbox the car is slow and sluggish.
It is not the top edition which is Initiale.It is the lower edition as I can tell from the seats and interior.
The bells and whistles with drum brakes for the rear. In 2020.
The top spec is the one with the Bose sound system.
I have the manual version and it is sometimes very sluggish accelerating from a stopped position. It’s a car that definitely needs you to keep the momentum going.

Big fan really appreciate your each and every review
It's an improvement on the older model, however I do prefer the Juke out of the two, although neither are great or best in class just now.

So did you bought it? I have two kids and captur. It enough space to travel and boot space is good. Only think is hard to buckle seat belt for kids,
Renault very impresive look, new line design
Great review! Love your channel. Me being from the states, I torture myself, knowing I’m watching vehicles that won’t come state side...😔
you can have some renault chassis with Nissan or mitsubishi . look under the body lol
Me too, I enjoyed listening to him and his style
Great review as usual thanks
I drove this car today, it is sooooo lush
Bought a Renault Megan sport back in 2008 it was built like tank, but didn't ride like one and it was fast as hell,
Lol No silly touch screen to worry about I like the way you say that Rory
gonna trade in my clio gt gt (grandtour for the motor 120 PS, 2nd grandtour because its a mini combi) for a Capture with 155 Ps. Iam so stoked when it will arrive. 35.000€ automatic, leather, all assistance and glas roof that can be open. Everything i ever wanted from a car.

If the dash is a hard cheap scratchy plastic then is a deal breaker for me. I loveee soft touch interior. One of the best looking crossover
Mzwandile Harmans the dash is soft touch plastic. Same as the Clio
Renault design direction is fabulous, all their cars look great these days imo..
No wonder, beacuse they have three best car designers in the world, all in one company.
Best review I've seen so far. Thank you!
Succinct and to the point, I really like your video reviews...
if they make new Kadjar and Koleos as good as this Capture improvement now that will be best sellers also.
I can’t decide between this car or the Skoda Kamiq 🤔 I absolutely love the captures technology but the Skoda boot space is very impressive 😬 anyone have this capture? I here’d that Renault have improved their reliability and quality recently otherwise I’d of NEVER considered a Renault I always wanted a Kia Sportage but this capture looks like it tops the sportage by a good few miles 🤷♀️ would love some genuine reviews though?
Really enjoying this guy's videos. Thanks Tucker.
I was torn between this or the Peugeot 2008 GT Line, I chose the Peugeot, but the Captur is a nice looking car!!
Boring boring car. A car that states i have given up on life
Thank you for this great review. Looking out for a Captur actually, for me best car "all extras in" for city driving and decent motorway traveling. Do you think the panorama roof is worth the extra money?

Why did you not show the steering wheel and instrument cluster... Nor did you show bottle space in the doors...
Funky car
Funky jacket 👍

In SA too. Are you enjoying your car?
@@renegaderogue6310 Definitely I am enjoying it and getting compliments as well
Its not just a Tweak and a new front, its all new built on a brand new platform.
Renault is smashing it over the last few years
Excellent review thank you
Very useful review, better than usual :-)
This car looks and feels like a truly funky, stylish and premium product, as opposed to the drab Audi Q2.
I like the design both exterior and interior but sadly resale value and engine reliability are terrible here in Malaysia.
Its really sad to see that Renault discontinued Captur in India.
What would you recommend as a competition and choose
Step away ,Clio, Peugeot or maybe other ?
Hey Rory, will you please tell us about its sound system, for example what make its using, how many speakers and bass, if any...because theres us audiophiles who just want to buy a car with good sound aswell as the other features and comfort. :)

Just bought one,like a lot but wish I had got red with Black roof against my grey and black roof, but it is nice!
Great review ! Thanks a lot 👍
Also worth mentioning are the fantastic rear drum brakes. Frankly, I can't believe that!
Tamara Slotkowski why, who cares? The car can stop
I v got the previous model and its fine. Modern rear drum brakes are as good as discs (not for high performance car or race track) . My captur brakes stop better than my Passat (discs all round)
Great review.Though, it seems that next to the front USBs there is an audio jack port to connect your sound source, not the 12V.
Woooooo am ln love,Captur is my dream car
Really??
Great video! Has anybody drove the TCE 155 version? How does it compare to the TCE 130?
Hate watching a review to find no mention of how many models in the range and no pricing structure....
Bring it stateside... nice looking little car.
What's the title of the music at 4:28?
how about the energy rating, most of. the captur I have found are C
Missing sliding armrest in front & rear leg space issue
Hence why it's a compact crossover
What is this model called? I can't seem to find it anywhere in South Africa. 😢
renault Captur
Wow I never thought the day would come where Rory and Autotrader would do a review on a non performance vehicle... still European but something different
Awesome delivery
Thanks mate. Getting one.
All eyes on me! 😜👍🏽 Bose sound system?
hey in which mode is it sluggish when driving off ...sport eco or my sense?
Everything except sport. -Rory
Excellent review!
Piekny model,Francja elegancja.
For the first time ever we see a man that is confident admitting he is 5'11.

There’s too many gears, before you get to 45 mph it’s saying change to 6 th gear.
The spacing is too close you can change up 2 gears at once easily enough.
Whats the better Car? Ford Puma or Renault Captur?
Ford puma takes away your spare tire space and gives you a dumb little box space. I'd go Captur personally if I had to choose.
@@Orielparadise hm yes but how often you need spare tires? Im driving 21 years and never needed the spare tire
They hate Renault here in the United States but I have to say they make nice looking vehicles.

Sedans?? nobody in the UK is daft enough to buy saloons any more, as they lose value like a an anvil going down a lift shaft, remember the VW Jetta when did you last see one?>
The key is just too wide
If it’s smaller it’s kinda the best key cus it’s thin
