Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Renault Captur 2020 good-looking, refined and comfy.

Pros
Higher-quality feel than the old Captur.
Actually rather handsome,
and plenty roomy enough.

Cons
Laggy,
fiddly infotainment.
Too much wind noise

By: 
topgear.com

The Renault Captur is one of the crossovers to beat, thanks to low running costs and plenty of style.

Pros
Easy to drive
Sliding rear bench
Good value

Cons
Untested reliability
Imprecise gearbox
Digital dials cost extra

By:

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

By: 
carwow.co.uk

The Arona is perfectly ok, but Seat found it too easy to leap on the small-crossover bandwagon. They just faxed it in. Get a Leon instead.

Pros
Decent chassis,
good infotainment system and tech

Cons
Updated cabin still a little drab,
trim levels restrict your kit choices

By: 
topgear.com

Pros
Looks great
Well equipped across the range
Nice and easy to drive

Cons
Tight on space for rear passengers
Lags behind on boot space
Some cheap-feeling interior bits
