What we like

The Renault Captur is a stylish small SUV that manages to look good even in the lowest trim levels, and is generously equipped from the offset. It’s terrific value for money too, undercutting most of its core competitors by several thousand pounds and Renault historically offers some very tempting finance deals to go with it. The Captur is also spacious considering its footprint, a decent all-rounder behind the wheel and gets a well-finished interior packed with plenty of non-intimidating technology. 

What we don’t like

The lack of powertrain choice, and in particular a more powerful petrol engine, is a shame. Though the hybrid is impressively frugal, it’s not the most refined and could be smoother. A few cheap materials on the door cards also let down an otherwise very pleasant interior too.
