It also comes with a generous list of standard equipment, clever safety technology and an intuitive infotainment system. On balance, the Captur looks great with plenty of interior charm. A selection of functions can also be activated by voice control. As well as changing the car’s engine and steering response, each mode adjusts the interior ambience to match by activating different lighting themes. Selecting Sport mode displays a picture of the car on a track on the touchscreen. Sport makes use of the petrol engine and both electric motors for a responsive drive when the accelerator pedal is fully depressed. The standard driving mode, MySense, automatically adapts the hybrid powertrain to the driver’s style and conditions, switching between electric power and the engine. Three driving modes are offered: Pure (all-electric mode), MySense and Sport. While it doesn’t deliver a thrilling ride, it does feel cool, calm and collected. ![]() ![]() The hybrid is capable of driving up to 28 miles at speeds of up to 83mph in pure electric mode. Our F1-inspired E-Tech plug-in model combines a reworked version of Renault’s 1.6 petrol engine with a 9.8kWh lithium-ion battery, two electric motors and a six-speed automatic transmission. In addition, front and rear parking sensors, rear-view camera and a 360-degree camera with bird’s eye view all help when reversing into some tight spaces. In the ADAS department, the Captur incorporates a suite of technologies, including adaptive cruise control, traffic and motorway assistance, blind-spot warning, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking and traffic sign recognition. In addition, the Dynamic Speed Compensation automatically adjusts volume and equalisation on the move, hence a seamless listening experience without the driver needing to constantly make adjustments. ![]() Occupants can tailor the audio experience to their tastes, switching from a neutral, studio-like setting to a more immersive sound. Integrated into the side of the boot is the optional Bose audio system, causing no reduction in load space. Instead, the sound is channelled to the passenger compartment through a patented duct system built into the car’s structure. Fitted to a Renault for the first time, the FCA offers bass frequencies without the need for a conventional large enclosure. ![]() There’s also a new compact subwoofer – the ‘Fresh Air Speaker’ (FCA). There are also two cupholders in the front console area plus two in the back, integrated into the central armrest.Ĭompared with the audio system in the previous Captur, there are now nine speakers rather than seven, with two additional tweeters in the rear doors. The glove box has an unusual pull out tray-like design instead of a hinged door. A sliding front centre armrest conceals a fairly deep storage area. The front door storage compartments can each accommodate a 1.5-litre water bottle. Boot capacity has been boosted by 81 litres to 536 litres, thanks to a sliding rear bench trading rear legroom for luggage space. In addition, a movable floor allows the boot space to be configured either for maximum space or to create a flat load entrance with hidden storage beneath the floor. The 60/40 rear seatbacks can fold down completely to give an almost completely flat load floor of 1.57m – 110mm more than in the previous Captur.
