RENAULT CAPTUR LEASE DEALS MANUAL
Next up is a four-cylinder 1.3-litre TCe powerplant with 140hp - also only offered in six-speed manual form. The 91hp three-cylinder 1.0-litre TCe with a six-speed manual gearbox is the entry-level option. Under the bonnet, there are three petrol units, diesel having been abandoned. 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. 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. If you really want a car of this kind, then you'll really want to try it. But it's a model you must consider before buying any one of them.
True, this Captur faces strong competition from a growing band of very talented rivals. They'll love the buying personalisation - and trendy touches like the clever infotainment system, the sliding rear bench and the double-height boot floor. None of which will bother most buyers at the smaller end of the Crossover segment one jot. It doesn't have 4WD, you can only just carry five people and you won't want to drive it on its door handles. Broadly speaking, this is a trap Renault has avoided here - provided your expectations in each of these areas aren't too great. Of course, there's always a danger with this class of car that in its mix of SUV, MPV and family hatch, you end up with a confection lacking the core strengths inherent in any of these three genres.
Passionate and practical, this MK2 model Captur is an endearing thing.
