The 2017 Renault Captur 1.5 dCi 110bhp Signature Nav takes the compact crossover formula and injects it with a healthy dose of French flair. As Renault's answer to the growing demand for urban-friendly SUVs, the Captur combines sharp styling, practical dimensions, and a surprisingly frugal diesel engine, making it a strong contender in a crowded segment. Powered by the 1.5-litre dCi diesel, this Captur delivers 110bhp, which might not sound earth-shattering but feels perfectly adequate for its lightweight build. The engine is punchy and responsive in city traffic, while its long-legged nature shines on the motorway. Fuel economy is one of its standout features, making it a wallet-friendly choice for both urban commutes and longer journeys. The manual gearbox is smooth and precise, adding to the car?s ease of use. Inside, the Signature Nav trim elevates the Captur?s cabin with premium touches like part-leather upholstery, and a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with built-in navigation. It feels upscale without being over the top, and the practicality is spot-on for a car of this size. The rear seats offer ample room for passengers, and the boot is spacious enough for weekend getaways, with the added flexibility of a sliding rear bench to prioritize either legroom or luggage space. On the road, the Captur excels at what it?s designed for: comfort and agility. Its raised ride height provides good visibility, while the soft suspension setup ensures it soaks up potholes and rough surfaces with ease. It?s not a car for spirited driving, but it handles competently, with light steering that?s perfect for city manoeuvrability. The exterior design, complete with two-tone paint options, remains one of its strongest selling points, ensuring the Captur stands out from the crossover crowd with its chic, urban appeal.
