Renault Captur

Wednesday, Jul 24, 2024 12:00 PM

Renault’s market-leading crossover is back with a new face, fresh tech as part of a mid-life update Since the second-generation Renault Captur's launch in 2019, Gilles Vidal has taken the reins at Renault's styling department and brought in a new design language, leaving the Captur looking a bit last-gen.So this mid-life facelift is quite dramatic, bringing the look in line with cars like the Renault Scenic and Rafale. As well as the exterior changes, the update brings a reworked interior and multimedia system.Unchanged is that Renault continues to offer strong value. Prices start at £21,095, undercutting many rivals like the Ford Puma (£25,000), the Hyundai Kona (£26,000) - and the Nissan Juke (£23,500).These new changes and additions become even more interesting when you look at that Juke rival, which was also updated this year, but very minimally.Although welcome, it’s not like Renault desperately needed to make the changes. The Captur is a popular model, selling more than two million units since its 2013 launch. Together with its Renault Clio sibling model, it captures a significant portion of the global B-segment share.So, can this update, along with the car’s mix of style and value, help continue the Captur’s sales? Renault will definitely hope so, especially given it is now competing in what has become one of the most oversaturated segments in the market, with competitors ranging from the Puma and Volkswagen T-Cross to the Peugeot 2008.Renault Captur range at a glanceVersionPowerTCe 9090bhpE-Tech Hybrid 145 Auto147bhp
