Renault claims it offers “a new dimension of quality and comfort rivalling models from the class above” with extensive use of higher-grade materials and newly designed seats. The interior of the new car, like the Clio, has had a more substantial overhaul than the exterior. It’s said to weigh “about the same” as the old car despite its increase in size and equipment levels, thanks to details such as an aluminium bonnet and plastic tailgate. The Mk2 Captur sits on the same CMF-B platform first used for the latest Renault Clio. The result is claimed class-leading rear seat space, aided by a sliding bench that can be adjusted by up to 16cm, and a 536-litre boot that is 81 litres larger than the outgoing car. The new crossover is significantly larger than its predecessor, with 100mm added to its length – with a 33mm longer wheelbase – and a 19mm increase in width. To continue that success, the new Seat Arona rival adopts an evolutionary approach to the exterior design that Renault describes as “more modern, more muscular and more expressive, with more SUV design cues”. The French maker claims to have sold more of the outgoing Captur last year than when it first launched in 2013. Just three specification grades will be offered at launch, with Iconic (from £19,095) and S Edition (from £20,595) specs rounding the range off. Other engines include dCi 95 and dCi 115 diesel engines, (From £19,395 and £21,695 respectively) plus a range-topping TCe 155 petrol (from £22,895). Stepping up to the TCe 130, which uses a 1.3-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, adds £2,800 - although in Play spec it’s auto-only, which explains the big price jump.
