Rivals: Kia Seltos, Haval Jolion, Volkswagen T-Cross. The Captur Trophy takes the price up to RM 93,400.00.

Entry to the Renault Captur range starts at RM 87,300.00 for the base model variant, going up to RM 92,700 for the Captur+.

The Captur also asks for 95RON premium unleaded. On test that worked out to a still decent 7.2L/100km with a largely urban test loop. Renault Captur 1,3L Turbo EDC Intens Fast Facts:Įngine: 1,3-litre, inline-four, turbopetrol Bearing in mind that all variants are pre-registered, pricing has changed a little over time. Renault rates fuel consumption at 6.6 litres per 100km. I look forward to not just road testing this vehicle alone, but doing a direct comparison with its rivals in an upcoming issue of CAR. It has to be good because South Africans are lining up to buy cars in this segment. Overall, the Captur is very difficult to fault, as are many of its peers. With the upcoming update, it is expected to. A non-negotiable is the auto-hold brake, which isn’t available on the Zen. At 4,329 mm (170.4 inches) in length, the second-generation Renault Captur currently holds the title of being the longest vehicle in the B-SUV segment. The lane departure warning, which can be adjusted for intensity through a menu, and blind spot warning I’m less worried about, but for the bulk of buyers it might come in handy. What sets it apart from its Zen sibling are add-ons I suspect many South Africans would tick off if buying new, such a larger infotainment screen, height adjustment on the driver’s seat. Inside, the Captur in Intens specification obviously has all the niceties.

Further into the trip, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the trip computer in my Intens was hovering at around 6,9 litres/100 km, particularly since I wasn’t exactly trying to drive economically. With many inclines thrown at it, which comprised of zipping through suburbs and stints on the motorway, I was sceptical about Renault’s claim of an average fuel consumption 6,6 L/100 km.
