Renault Captur / Kaptur (J87)

Subcompact Crossover

Product Gallery

Product Overview

Renault Captur / Kaptur (chassis code J87) is an entry-level subcompact crossover in production from 2013 to 2019. It was available with a range of inline-3 and inline-34engines that displaced 0.9 to 1.5 liters.

Essentially a jacked-up Renault Clio, the Captur is uglier and nastier. Whereas one could make the argument that a small hatchback is a sensible choice for budget reasons, the Captur destroys that while being horrible in every other imaginable way.

The only positive is that the regulators love it and tax the owners less.

Reviewer score 60% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

The new Renault Captur feels more structurally robust, better insulated, more cushioned, quieter and decisively better finished. The cabin’s extra width, a mildly high-rise driving position, comfortable front seats and the new-found civility make journeying fairly painless. The option of traffic jam assistance, enabled via radar-governed cruise control, and lane centring – both firsts in the segment – are appealing.

Pros

Comfortable to drive
Decent infotainment system
Good standard equipment

Cons

Lack of practicality
Alternatives are more fun to drive

Reviewer score 41% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

The Renault Captur is one of the French manufacturer's most popular models. Based on the same platform as the Clio, the Captur sits higher and boasts more interior space. It's a capable and competitively priced small SUV that does battle in a packed class that includes the SEAT Arona, Mazda CX-3 and the forthcoming Skoda Kamiq.

Pros

Competitively priced
Comfortable to drive
Good standard equipment

Cons

Lack of finesse
Not the most exciting to drive

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:

At 100mm taller and some 100kg heavier than the Clio on which it is based, the front-wheel-drive-only Captur is all about personalisation. A range of largely mouth- or, depending on your perspective, eye-watering colour schemes incorporate that all-important alternative paint-pot roof. Renault's optional, £450 R-Link infotainment system features an integrated 7in touch-screen, backed up by voice control.

Pros

Comfortable to drive
Excellent infotainment system
Decent ride quality

Cons

Lack of sophistication
Uncomfortable to hold
