Renault Captur
SUVs like the Renault Captur are becoming increasingly popular as many car brands seem to have moved away from making sedans and bigger models. While some of the reasons might involve the future of electric vehicles but it also comes down to the value for money, space and versatility of compact SUVs, something the Renault Captur offers in spades.
The Award-Winning Renault Captur
The automaker’s hard work has paid off as the Renault Captur has been awarded the title of Small SUV of the Year from the 2021 Auto Express. Fact is, this is the second consecutive win in the Small SUV category.
And, like last year, this practical and comfortable car takes home the gold for many of the same reasons as the Renault Clio which is the “Supermini of the Year”. Not only does the Renault Captur share its platform with the award-winning Clio but it also offers more space, more powertrain options and exceptional value for money.
The Renault Captur is a little bigger than the Clio but it’s still an affordable car with the added bonus of more interior room, hybrid powertrain options and more advanced technology. Today, these are all the things that small SUV buyers might be looking for when finding their next car.
The Perfect Compact Family SUV
With all the extra space, the Renault Captur may just be the best compact family car. For starters, the rear seats are a great example of how to maximise space with ample room for passengers. The bench seat also slides back and forth so you can choose whether to create more legroom or boot space depending on your requirements.
This means you can move the seats with relative ease to create more room for the kids on the daily school run. Or, maximise boot space for the monthly shopping trip and the weekend getaway goodies including luggage, sports equipment and even the family dog.
The boot space capacity is between 422 and 536 litres depending on where you set the bench. Even at its smallest size, the boot has more than enough space which means the Renault Captur is a great compact family SUV, offering the kind of versatility you need for all sorts of adventures.
Is The Renault Captur Comfortable To Drive?
The Renault Captur wouldn’t be winning this prestigious award if it wasn’t nice to drive. Thanks to some great engine options, softer suspension and bigger dimensions, anyone will love driving the Renault Captur.
It offers a smooth ride even on bumpy roads with good steering response and grip making it easy to drive and park. The Renault Captur is more relaxing to drive than other crossovers that are typically more firmly sprung even if there’s more body lean when pushing the car in corners.
The Renault Captur may not handle like a sports car but small SUVs are not supposed to. It performs above all expectations where it matters most with extra space, safety, precise steering and stability; everything a family car should be
