View dealThe Renault Captur is a small five-seat SUV that sits between the supermini-sized cars and the larger family SUVs in Renault's line-up. It's aimed at drivers who want a raised driving position, easy town manners and low running costs, without the bulk of something bigger.
There's one body style - a five-door SUV, 4.24 metres long - and two powertrains: a 1.2-litre turbo petrol with a manual gearbox, or a self-charging hybrid automatic that never needs plugging in. Three trims follow: Evolution, Techno and Esprit Alpine.
Reviewers consistently praise the styling, the cabin quality and the infotainment, while noting that ride comfort is the Captur's weaker suit, particularly on the biggest wheels. If that trade-off suits you, the rest of this page will help you pick the version.

Manufacturer data for the versions we currently offer. Last updated 5 October 2026.
The Captur is Renault's small SUV and one of the brand's best-known models in Europe, now in its second generation, on sale in this form since 2024. It seats five, carries 326 to 422 litres in the boot depending on the version, and comes with a three-year or 60,000-mile manufacturer warranty.
Road testers tend to land in the same place: a handsome, well-finished small SUV with genuinely good screen tech and strong real-world economy from the hybrid, let down slightly by ride comfort on poor surfaces. The Captur's cabin and screen tech are also well regarded by testers.
Euro NCAP awarded it four stars, with 76% for adult occupant protection and 80% for child occupant protection.
Because the standard kit list is strong from the entry trim upwards, and the Captur's running costs are modest whichever powertrain you choose. Every version gets keyless entry and start, wireless phone charging, a digital instrument cluster, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a rear-view camera and rear parking sensors.
Safety and assistance equipment is standard across the range too: autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assist, traffic sign recognition, automatic high beam, LED headlights, rain-sensing wipers and an electric parking brake.
On the practical side, it's 1.80 m wide and 1.58 m tall, with a 48-litre fuel tank, an 80 kg roof load and servicing due every 12 months or 18,000 miles. The petrol version can tow up to 1,200 kg braked. Worth checking before you order: the spare is a tyre repair kit, not a wheel.
Two choices: a 1.2-litre turbo petrol manual for simplicity and the lowest insurance group, or the self-charging hybrid automatic for town economy and easier driving. Both are front-wheel drive, and neither needs a charging cable.
The 1.2-litre turbo three-cylinder makes 112 bhp and 190 Nm, drives through a six-speed manual and officially returns 48.7 to 49.6 mpg with CO2 of 130 to 131 g/km. It's the roomier one in the boot at 422 litres, tows up to 1,200 kg braked, and sits in insurance group 14.
The hybrid pairs a petrol engine with a 1.2 to 1.4 kWh battery for 141 to 156 bhp, driving through an automatic gearbox. There's no plug and no charging: the car tops the battery up itself. Official economy is 60.1 to 65.7 mpg, CO2 97 to 105 g/km, and boot space is 326 litres with the seats up.
| Hybrid | Petrol | |
|---|---|---|
| Boot | 326 litres | 422 litres |
| Power | 141–156 bhp | 112 bhp |
| Seats | 5 | 5 |
| Battery | 1.2–1.4 kWh | – |
| 0–62 mph | 8.9–10.6 s | 12.1 s |
| Braked towing | 750–1000 kg | 1200 kg |
| Economy (WLTP) | 60.1–65.7 mpg | 48.7–49.6 mpg |
Three trims, each adding wheels, comfort kit and driver assistance over the one below. All three offer the 112 bhp petrol as their entry version, with cloth upholstery throughout.
Evolution rides on 17-inch "Ediris" diamond-cut alloy wheels and includes wireless smartphone integration compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a synthetic leather steering wheel, a rear-view camera, a wireless phone charger, air conditioning and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror. The Evolution is currently available from £259.04 a month.
Techno swaps to 18-inch "Black Hole" alloys and adds built-in navigation with Google voice assistant, side and front parking sensors, adaptive cruise control with speed limiter, roof rails, power-folding mirrors and Multisense with four driving modes and up to 48 ambient lighting colours. The Techno is currently available from £283.93 a month. Against the Evolution, that is currently £24.89/mo more expensive.
Esprit Alpine is the sportier-looking one, on 19-inch "Elixir" alloys, and adds a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, an electrically adjustable driver's seat, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and active lane-change assist. Reviewers do note the biggest wheels firm up the ride. The Esprit Alpine is currently available from £310.30 a month. Against the Techno, that is currently £26.36/mo more expensive.
