For 2020 it’s improved and my test car felt better constructed with the addition of a large central touchscreen that was easy to use. It’s clear that Renault paid close attention to the feedback on the old car’s interior quality. It’s a clean sheet for the new-gen Renault Captur, right? Not quite.

With the exception of the Ford Puma, the Renault Captur is the most handsome in the class including the rival Nissan Juke and Volkswagen T-Roc. It also scores well in child occupancy protection.

Renault offers strong driver safety systems including automatic emergency braking, lane assist and departure warning, emergency call function and traffic sign recognition. The Captur is off to a good start with a 5-star safety rating from Euro NCAP. By putting sliding calculators with representative examples on the site, buyers are already 80pc through the buying process before ever arriving at the dealer. To entice new buyers Renault’s Irish website focuses on the payment plan per month and the value of their trade-in vehicle. The new Captur range starts from €21,995 with three trim levels available – Play, Iconic and S-Edition. The key to the Captur’s sales appeal are three things: keen prices, looks and safety. The big question is this: has Renault done enough with the new car to stay ahead of the pack? Renault sells more versions of the Captur than the Clio and Megane so it has a lot of ground to make up when chasing excellent rivals that are chomping at its heels. Renault claims the Captur was the most successful compact SUV ever in Ireland. Irish prices for the Captur range from €21,995 to €31,445 and there is a choice of petrol and diesel engines. Truth be told, the exterior styling on the new car could well be mistaken for a mid-cycle facelift.

In this second-generation the Captur has been lengthened by 110mm and the changes externally are minimal. Seven years ago it was a striking design by Julio Lozano with much of the rakish coupe concept’s design lexicon carried over into final production.

It’s a strong testament to the old car’s exterior styling that the second generation Captur appears to have hardly changed at all. Now there is a brand new Captur for 2020. The new platform meant the Captur can accommodate E-Tech Plug-in hybrid system from next year with possible 45 km range of electric mode as the Clio.“Renault sells more versions of the Captur than the Clio and Megane so it has a lot of ground to make up when chasing excellent rivals that are chomping at its heels” It is the second Renault model based on the CMF-B platform following the Clio and has bigger dimensions. The interior is brand new with added creature comforts and safety technologies. With an evolutionary approach to design, the Euro-spec 2020 Captur does look appealing on the outside. While the future of the Captur remains uncertain in India as it’s struggling to reach three digit sales, Renault released the images of the all-new Captur bound for Europe in July 2019 ahead of its global premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show this year. With the mid-size SUV segment under the spotlight for seeing increased competition due to the arrival of new models such as Tata Harrier, MG Hector and Kia Seltos, the Captur could not just match their potential. The crossover never got away well in the sales table and struggled to match the numbers of even the much older Nissan Terrano and Renault Duster.
