The rear seats, which comfortably seat two adults, also have good under-thigh support but the fixed backrest feels a little too upright. It appears to float over a more conventional but low-lying central compartment with the obligatory cupholders, a place to put the Renault keycard and a small tub with a sliding armrest. The Intens is also the only Captur variant to feature the ‘flying centre console’, which juts out from under the dash to house the gear shifter and a place to plug in your phone.

The driver’s seat has power adjustments and a manual lumbar support setting and both seats are heated, as is the leather steering wheel. The Intens comes with leather front seats that are firm but comfortable and feature stylish curved headrests, side bolstering and good under-thigh support.

The new Captur is 110mm longer than the previous model, resulting in a 36mm-longer wheelbase that brings an additional 17mm rear knee room and translates to one of the roomiest cabins in its class. What is the Renault Captur Intens like to live with? The Intens stands out in the Captur range with exclusive kit, including a new 9.3-inch portrait-orientated touchscreen, 360-degree parking camera, digital instrument display and a host of other extras which we’ll go into below. Priced from $28,190 before on-roads, the Captur goes on sale here in April 2021 with three variants Life, Zen ($30,790) and the Intens that’s priced from $35,790.Īll come with 113kW/270Nm 1.3-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, which gains 22kW/60Nm over the outgoing model to be one of the most powerful in a segment dominated by smaller three-cylinder turbos as per the Ford Puma, Nissan Juke, Kia Stonic GT-Line, Toyota Yaris Cross and Volkswagen T-Cross. In Australia, it’s been a niche seller at best, but this new model brings additional space, power, refinement and a sharper-looking athletic design that should make it more attractive to local buyers. Okay, when I say popular I mean in Europe, where the Captur pioneered the light SUV segment in 2013 and has since dominated it with 1.5 million sales. It’s not the roomiest car around (a similarly-priced Skoda Kamiq has more space) but if your budget is tight then the Captur is still one of the more practical options.This is the range-topping variant of the second-generation model of Renault’s popular crossover. The Captur has a reasonable amount of legroom in the back seats, and headroom is fine even for tall adults. There’s plenty of room in the front seats and Renault has given the car useful storage areas, including deep door pockets and a handy cubby in the car’s centre console. It means Renault was able to fit the seats higher up, which gives the SUV-like feeling that buyers love. It’s quite compact in terms of overhead footprint, but since it’s rather tall (1.6m is higher than many cars that are much larger) it has a roomy feel inside.



The Renault Captur is 4.1m long, 1.8m wide and 1.6m tall. Sadly, converting the Captur from right to left-hand drive means UK models don’t get the same 11-litre glovebox capacity as cars sold on the Continent. It helps if you add the parking sensors or reversing camera, though. The Captur’s short bonnet and vertical tail mean you’ll find parking is pretty easy, too.

The Renault Captur is a small SUV, so it’s not as roomy as the brand’s larger Kadjar model, but as it’s 60mm longer than the Renault Clio, there’s more rear legroom and the rear seats can slide backwards and forwards to free up even more space either inside the cabin or in the boot as needed.
