#RENAULT CAPTUR 2014 REVIEW MANUAL#

On the motorway, the Captur needs to be revved hard in low gears to pick up speed, although the five-speed manual in our car felt nice and slick. The saving grace is that the claimed fuel economy of 47.1mpg looked easily achievable on our drive through the Cotswolds. The 99bhp unit can only muster 160Nm of torque, and it’s every bit as pedestrian as the 13.3-second 0-62mph figure suggests. The Captur’s biggest failing? That’d be the 1.0-litre petrol engine tested in this TCe 100 model.

So it’s good news that Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity is also standard. The graphics are sharp enough and the screen responsive, but the set-up is not as intuitive as systems in VW Group rivals. The engine range for the Renault Captur range kicks off with the TCe 90, an 89bhp turbocharged 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol that comes exclusively with a six-speed manual gearbox.

The Captur may be more convincing yet when it's able to go fully electric, though - or when Renault launches a different weeny crossover with battery power alone. The rear end, which retains a modern appearance, is expected to remain largely unchanged, with minimal updates focused on the bumper and the LED taillight graphics. The hybrids offer an interesting option, and up against the likes of the Kia Niro in the (currently) limited plug-in compact crossover segment neither is a bad choice, if that’s what you’re after. It won’t be the most interesting car you read about today, but it’s good enough. The spec list is strong and it’s roomy enough to justify its existence next to the Clio. The looks and the road manners are the standouts. It’s a fitting contender for the fastest growing car sales segment in the UK. It’s hardly interesting to drive, but then again barely any crossovers are, and that’s not their purpose, either. Renault’s pulled off exactly what it needed to with the Captur Mk2. That the Captur is a night and day improvement over what it replaces in looks, refinement and cabin quality is not up for debate, backed up by the fact it's the firm's best-selling car in Britain. There’s also little to tell the electrified version apart, beyond a subtle badge here and there. There’s plenty of other exterior changes too, with a wider front grille, tough-looking front and rear protection skid plates, prominent wheel arch extensions, slimmer LED lights at both ends, and touches of chrome trim bringing it in line with its Clio and Mégane siblings, with little of the stylistic quirkiness that some of its rivals suffer… no names mentioned. Roomier too – but that’s courtesy of the whole car swelling in every dimension. Sure, that’s like saying a hotel room is smarter than a windswept tent, but still, the Captur isn’t just a whole load more handsome on the outside – it’s grown up and gotten its act together inside, and that’s most welcome. In fact, the whole cabin is the headline here.
