Then there’s the white leather upholstery which is exclusive to this top-spec Platine trim along with LED illumination for the cabin lights which comes as standard. There are modern bits in the form of an analogue-digital instrument cluster which sits inside a butterfly patterned housing and if you love iPhones, you’ll appreciate the Rose Gold detailing around the AC vents and the centre console. Renault Captur Interiors and Featuresīehind that striking appearance on the outside, the Renault Captur follows French minimalism to the T on the inside. Talking about pedals, there isn’t one inside the Captur which acts dead. Moreover, the pedal lacks feel and it took quite some time for our right foot to figure out as how much pedal travel is required for the desired braking force to come into effect. The heavy at parking speeds steering system loosens up as the numbers increase and there is a good amount of feedback which comes back through the wheel.īrakes do their job pretty well, but one has to push the pedal quite deep before any serious bite arrives. However, it feels safe and stable in a straight line at high speeds. The Renault Captur dips a fair bit to the opposite side if you are aggressive around bends. The trade-off for that massive ground clearance is quite a bit of body roll which creeps in when we attempted to attack corners. Even at times when we encountered a sudden deep rut at a decent speed and were too late to brake, the Captur simply carried on without unsettling itself or the passengers inside. Ride quality is fantastic and the crossover simply flattens all undulations as it rolls over them. Renault’s newest for India sits 210mm (Unladen) above the ground and for the intent that it wishes to serve, the Captur really shines in that department.

From there on, that number climbs effortlessly at a mere dab of the pedal. Although, in urban driving conditions, the lack of an automatic option and the not so great bottom end performance could be somewhat unimpressive for some.įor numbers, the engine spun lazily at an indicated 1,900 rpm in sixth gear as the Captur chugged along at an indicated 80 – 85 kph. The added luxury of a sixth ratio makes the Renault Captur an able cruiser on the highways. As long as the engine is spinning above 1,600 rpm or so, in gear acceleration is strong and feels effortless, courtesy of some really strong mid-range performance. If you keep pushing, it revs quite neatly till its 5,000 rpm limiter, but you don’t really need to do that. Off the mark, the engine starts building up from the 1,500 rpm mark and delivers its punch at around 2,000 rpm, which is also when you hear a little whistle from the turbocharger.
