It’s alright, but you’re better off upgrading to the Media Nav or faster R-Link system – the latter gives you live traffic updates and Android Auto smartphone mirroring, but there’s no Apple CarPlay support. The Captur looks like the results of a mating programme between a Renault Clio and a jacked-up SUVĪs standard the Renault Captur gets a phone cradle and a smartphone app that effectively turns your smartphone into the car’s infotainment system.
It’s a shame there aren’t any handy hooks or tethering points in the boot though. Flip the seats down and there’s a 1,235-litre space. You can drop the boot floor down to give you an impressive 455 litres of space, but this introduces a huge load lip to heave things over. The 377-litre boot is easy to load because there’s no lip between the boot floor and the opening. The door pockets in the front and back are small however, and will only fit small drinks bottles. There is a reasonable number of storage spaces in the cabin, including a useful lidded bin on the dashboard.
For a small car there’s plenty of room in the front, and your rear-seat passengers won’t feel cramped, although the middle seat is narrow – a Suzuki Vitara is a better small SUV for seating three in the back. The Renault Captur has a decent amount of interior space. You can brighten things up with a choice of seven interior colours ranging from Ivory to Blue and Smoked Chrome, each adds colourful plastics to the centre console, air vents and steering wheel. You won’t find the interior quite so funky, but the dashboard and door armrests are covered in squidgy plastics that distract from the cheaper plastics everywhere else in the cabin. You can get the Renault Captur in two-tone paint schemes, so it’ll stand out next to similar small SUVs such as the Vauxhall Mokka X, yet isn’t as divisive as the weird-looking Nissan Juke. The Captur’s cute looks didn’t need updating, but it now has front and rear skid plates to give more of an off-road look – though you can’t get it with four-wheel drive, so don’t expect it to go clambering up rocky slopes. Launched in 2013, the Renault Captur was updated in 2017 with new front and rear bumpers, standard-fit C-shaped LED daytime running lights, optional LED headlights, updated infotainment systems, a posher-feeling interior with more soft-touch plastics and the option to have a fixed sunroof. The Renault Captur is a small SUV that gives you a good view of the road ahead, but feels just like a normal small car to drive. Is the Renault Captur (2017-2019) a good car?
