New Car: 2018 Renault Captur Intens review
The Renault Captur crossover has been a regular market leader across Europe since it launched a few years ago, but here in Australia this French Mazda CX-3 competitor has never risen above niche status.
Of course this scarcity is in many ways the Captur's biggest asset, building on Laurens van den Acker's standout and timeless design. If the Renault isn't the prettiest small crossover out there, I'll eat my hat.
In a bid to keep the Captur up to date against newer rivals such as the Toyota C-HR and Hyundai Kona – and fellow niche players like the Citroen C4 Cactus – Renault recently rolled out a series of MY18 product updates.
Marketing for the range has been simplified, with trim variants now conforming to the nomenclature used on Renault’s latest Clio, Megane and Koleos models introduced over the past 12 months.
This means there's a base Captur Zen (priced at a sharpened $21,990 before on-roads for the manual and $24,990 for auto) and the Captur Intens tested here, at $28,990 for the standard EDC auto model – or $30,990 drive-away.
As such the Zen sits alongside fellow front-wheel drive city car crossovers including the mid-range CX-3 sTouring ($26,990), Kona Elite ($28,500) and C-HR 2WD ($26,990). Not bad, really, though it's $6000 pricier than a Clio Zen hatch.
Tweaks include the addition of familiar Renault trademark C-shaped LED daytime running lights, complemented on the flagship with new LED Pure Vision headlights that are said to be 20 per cent more powerful than halogen globes.
