The buying decision will come down to personal preference, but for this editor the build quality and classic lines of the Renault make Citroen's car look like a try-hard gimmick. The only car in this class that matches Renault in the looks department is the Citroen C4 Cactus. Compared to it, the Juke looks awkward and out of place, though the Nissan is widely considered ugly. The same level of customization is achieved by the interior, but we will talk about that a little later.įor now, let's just say that we are completely taken with the exterior of our XMOD, which is a sharper dresser than all its rivals. You want a white roof with orange paint? It is no problem for them, and neither is having all the chrome trim in orange or stripes on the roof. That is because the French have taken a long, hard look at the MINI business model and designed plenty of customization options into the Captur. There are already lots of Capturs on the road, but they still look classy and unique, especially in bright colors. On the inside, this car has enough space for four people to sit reasonably comfortably, but it's the outside that draws everybody's attention. Renault describes its baby crossover model as an "urban car" and that's because it measures a bit over 4.1 meters, making it a tad larger than the Clio, but visibly smaller than a Nissan Qashqai. Out test car was a loaded Captur XMOD with a 1.5-liter diesel engine, Renault's new twin-clutch EDC gearbox and a special traction control system for rough terrain. Since then, this model has been almost constantly upgraded with new engines, paint options and special editions. It was previewed by a very sexy orange concept with butterfly doors in 2011, after which full production commenced in 2013. The Captur is a brand new nameplate for Renault, who took cues from the Nissan Juke in order to target this very lucrative segment of the market.
