Captur 2022 interior11/18/2023 Renault's operating system isn't as intuitive as something like BMW's iDrive software, but most will likely plug in their phone anyway.Įquipment is generous, with some ‘big car’ features such as keyless start, lane departure warnings and LED headlights fitted to even the standard Evolution trim. You’ll also forfeit sat-nav at the lower end, but Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, so you can use the map apps built into your smartphone. It works well and we prefer it to the standard analogue gauges, so it’s a shame it’s now only on the higher trim levels with the plug-in hybrid powertrain.ĭominating the centre console is a portrait-orientated touchscreen that’s seven inches in size on lower trims and 9.3 inches in top versions. One of the key talking points is the new digital instrument display, measuring 10 inches and boasting very crisp graphics. Technology is significantly improved too, with the option of digital instruments and an infotainment system that works well. There are now soft touch plastics covering most of the surfaces. 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 Captur is heavily influenced by the Renault Clio supermini and just like the latest version of that car, the Captur’s interior has taken a big step up in quality. 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. ![]() ![]() ![]() Check out the new seats which look suspiciously like they’re from a recent Volvo.
