Renault Captur in Black 2016 for £7,695

Description

The Renault Captur is the French manufacturer's smallest foray in the popular crossover market – a car that is tall and roomy like an SUV, but based on a normal hatchback underneath so it's easy to drive on the road and relatively cheap to run. So far the Captur has outdone all its sales targets and become the biggest-selling small SUV in Europe and the second biggest seller in the UK. Despite the missing 'e', its name is pronounced the same as the word 'capture' and Renault hopes it can continue to do just that to the attentions of buyers interested in fashion-led small 4x4s such as the Nissan Juke, Peugeot 2008, and Vauxhall Crossland X. It's in its twightlight years now, not that you'd know it it look at it.In appearance, it resembles a taller, chunkier Renault Clio hatchback with a raised ride height, plastic sill guards and large-diameter wheels to give it a tougher appearance. It's a good-looking beast, and although it's due for replacement in 2020, the original car still looks smart and contemporary, and bang on trend with what buyers want today.Its overall dimensions are relatively small (it's only 6cm longer than a Clio), which makes it easy to manoeuvre and park in urban areas. It's also relatively light, at less than 1, 200kg. The boot isn't quite as big as you might hope, but does include a generous amount of extra storage in a compartment under the boot floor, and there's plenty of space when the 60:40-split rear seats are folded down.There's plenty of standard kit, with even basic Capturs getting 16-inch alloy wheels, Bluetooth connectivity, keyless start, Hill-Start Assist and cruise control. Renault aims for personalisation options to be a key part of the Captur's appeal, with a range of contrasting exterior colours for the roof and mirrors available, as well as differing interior trim colours, wheel designs and decal packs. A selection of manual and automatic petrol and diesel powertrains are available with low fuel cost and CO2 emissions. 12V
