The standard driving mode, MySense, automatically adapts the hybrid powertrain to the driver’s style and conditions, switching between electric power and the engine. Three driving modes are offered: Pure (all-electric mode), MySense and Sport. While it doesn’t deliver a thrilling ride, it does feel cool, calm and collected. The hybrid is capable of driving up to 28 miles at speeds of up to 83mph in pure electric mode. Our F1-inspired E-Tech plug-in model combines a reworked version of Renault’s 1.6 petrol engine with a 9.8kWh lithium-ion battery, two electric motors and a six-speed automatic transmission. In addition, front and rear parking sensors, rear-view camera and a 360-degree camera with bird’s eye view all help when reversing into some tight spaces. In the ADAS department, the Captur incorporates a suite of technologies, including adaptive cruise control, traffic and motorway assistance, blind-spot warning, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking and traffic sign recognition.

In addition, the Dynamic Speed Compensation automatically adjusts volume and equalisation on the move, hence a seamless listening experience without the driver needing to constantly make adjustments. Occupants can tailor the audio experience to their tastes, switching from a neutral, studio-like setting to a more immersive sound.

Integrated into the side of the boot is the optional Bose audio system, causing no reduction in load space. Instead, the sound is channelled to the passenger compartment through a patented duct system built into the car’s structure. Fitted to a Renault for the first time, the FCA offers bass frequencies without the need for a conventional large enclosure. There’s also a new compact subwoofer – the ‘Fresh Air Speaker’ (FCA).

There are also two cupholders in the front console area plus two in the back, integrated into the central armrest.Ĭompared with the audio system in the previous Captur, there are now nine speakers rather than seven, with two additional tweeters in the rear doors. The glove box has an unusual pull out tray-like design instead of a hinged door. A sliding front centre armrest conceals a fairly deep storage area.

The front door storage compartments can each accommodate a 1.5-litre water bottle. Boot capacity has been boosted by 81 litres to 536 litres, thanks to a sliding rear bench trading rear legroom for luggage space. In addition, a movable floor allows the boot space to be configured either for maximum space or to create a flat load entrance with hidden storage beneath the floor. The 60/40 rear seatbacks can fold down completely to give an almost completely flat load floor of 1.57m – 110mm more than in the previous Captur. Rear legroom has been boosted by 17mm, thanks in part to re-designed front seats that also benefit from slimmer, comma-shaped headrests to improve visibility. Size-wise, the overall length of the car has increased by 110mm, providing a spot more room for occupants and their luggage. When combined with the 9.3-inch infotainment display it gives the Captur one of the largest screen combinations in its class. It allows the driver to choose their preferred set-up, including turn-by-turn navigation instructions displayed directly in front of them. A reconfigurable instrument cluster is available as an option for S Edition models.

The latter allows drivers to choose from eight different LED colours that provide a calming glow. Other creature comfort and convenience features (depending on the trim level) include an auto-dimming rearview mirror, rear privacy glass, high-beam assist, and an ambient lighting pack. This elevated centre console incorporates the ‘E-Shifter’ gear selector on top, additional storage space and wireless phone charger below. One of the highlights of the interior is the new ‘flying console’ available as part of the optional Comfort Pack for S Edition models. The steering wheel has a smaller diameter allowing an improved view of the instrument display, as well as re-designed backlit controls adding to the ambience. Soft-touch plastics and satin finishes are used throughout, while the front seats have a new architecture.
