2020 Renault Captur (2nd Generation)

Renault Captur

Renault Captur is the B-segment "voiture à vivre" (car for living). It is versatile and multi-talented, both compact on the outside (4,23m) and spacious on the inside, modular to adapt to the uses of customers, equally at home in the city or off the grid. Its high driving position is appreciated by the customers, allowing easy access to the vehicle and good visibility of the road. All these qualities explain the success of a car that has sold over two million units in 90 countries around the world since its launch ten years ago.

New Captur adopts the new design language initiated by Gilles Vidal, Renault's Head of Design. Playing on light and matter with taut lines and precise detailing, the new language creates a more stylish and dynamic effect. With its new front end, New Captur gains a more premium look.

New Renault Captur will continue to set the standard in urban SUVs, a market accounting for half of all sales in the B-segment, which itself makes up 30% of the total market. New Captur maintains its versatility, two-tone body colours and generous interior space, along with a range of ingenious high-tech equipment. Alongside these qualities, which are all part of its DNA, new-generation Captur gains a range of new features. More expressive inside and out, the styling delivers a unique twist of elegance and sporting spirit with the new Esprit Alpine finish. The cabin is showcased by new upholstery and new dashboard screens. Available depending on the version, the OpenR Link multimedia system with Google built-in provides the very best in on-board technology with Android Automotive 12, a world first in the B segment. The entirely new electronic architecture takes safety to new levels, with a range of latest-generation driving aids including the predictive hybrid driving function and Active Driver Assist, for Level 2 autonomous driving.

Renault Captur facelift revealed, and it’s gone vegan

Renault is aiming for a more premium and sculpted look with the facelifted Captur that was unveiled in France on Thursday.

But hang on a minute, wasn’t the second-generation Captur only launched in South Africa last year? That’s true, but we received it more than three years after its international debut due to Covid-related supply delays.

Thankfully there won’t be as long a wait for the facelifted model, which Renault SA is aiming to introduce locally around the third quarter of 2024.

The facelifted Renault Captur adopts the French brand’s new design language initiated by design chief Gille Vidal, and already seen on the facelifted Clio and Scenic E-Tech.

Or as Renault puts it: “Playing on light and matter with taut lines and precise detailing, the new language creates a more stylish and dynamic effect. With its new front end, New Captur gains a more premium look.”

 
Now that’s a facelift! Renault Captur gets whopping mid-life revamp

Out goes the old cheerful face, in comes… well, this handsome thing. Like it?

Finally, a facelift that’s actually worthy of the name: Renault has revealed the updated version of its Mk2 Captur, and from the front at least it bares almost no resemblance to the old car. Quite the overhaul, huh?

The face of the Captur has been almost completely reimagined - new grille, new LED headlights, new Renault logo - bringing it more into line with the recent Scenic and Clio. Chief designer Gilles Vidal isn’t messing around…

At the back things are more familiar, although the brake lights and diffuser have been tweaked for what Renault claims is a more ‘contemporary’ look.

The inside has also been heavily revised: gone is the funky, soft-touch orange trim, replaced with a mix of recycled and low-CO2 fabrics. Leather and chrome has also been banished.

 
The heavily revamped Renault Captur is here, yours from £21,095

Props to Renault for the boldest mid-life revamp we’ve seen in quite a while

The refreshed Renault Captur has finally hit the UK market, priced from £21,095. The facelift is pretty radical, there’s new can’t-be-seen-with-the-naked-eye tech upgrades and that price point is competitively low.

As with the Renault Clio – which shares much of the gubbins and design points of the Captur – there are two powertrain choices: a 1.0-litre turbo petrol, or the full hybrid 145 powertrain. That’s Renaultspeak for a 1.6-litre four-pot petrol engine packaged with two electric motors and a 1.26kWh lithium battery. Renault claims that'll give drivers over 60mpg.

There’s now a choice of three trims: evolution, techno and esprit alpine. That last one tops out the range from £27,995 in hybrid guise.

The standard Captur evolution spec includes 17in alloys, rear privacy glass, automatic LED headlights, rear sensors and parking camera.
