Renault Captur 2020 good-looking, refined and comfy.

Cons
Untested reliability
Imprecise gearbox
Digital dials cost extra

The Renault Captur looks great, has a spacious, high-quality cabin and a big boot. Its infotainment can frustrate, though, and there are more comfortable small SUVs around town.

Pros
Space and practicality
Large boot
Efficient engines

Cons
Infotainment system
Low speed comfort
Safety tech reserved for top trim

Narrow, cramped interior

Price rises quickly with options

Small cargo area
