![]() Soft-touch surfaces are everywhere and, in our S-Edition test car, the seats were wrapped in good quality leather, as was the steering wheel and gearshift. The big, portrait-oriented touchscreen in the centre of the dash looks good, as do the all-digital instruments. The new Captur's cabin (just as with the new Clio) looks great and seems to be made of very high-grade materials. ![]() As before, the Captur uses essentially the same interior as the Clio, but that's no longer a demerit. With many Captur buyers trading down from family hatchbacks, where quality standards have been much higher in recent years, it simply wasn't good enough.įair dos to Renault it has responded to such criticism with aplomb. Owners, as well as professional critics, rather hammered this point home to Renault. The old Captur basically used the same cabin as the old Clio and suffered for doing so - quality was never all that good, and such things as style were severely lacking. In the cabin, the changes are simply massive. ![]() Around the back, the change is a little more profound, with big C-shaped brake lights that form slim commas at either side of the boot, and which make the rear of the Captur look rather sharp. Really, only the more prominent grille and the new all-LED lights (as standard) that incorporate the C-shaped daytime running lights into the main units are especially different. At the front, you'll have even more trouble. The rear pillar is different - instead of sweeping up sharply to meet the roof, it turns over into a flatter line, giving more of a 'floating roof' look to the Captur. If you want to tell new from old, you'll have to look closely. The new Captur looks - almost to the millimetre - like the old one. In terms of exterior styling, there's nothing new here. With small crossover sales exploding, Renault has ramped up the Captur's quality levels, as well as its cabin space, for customers who are rapidly moving away from family hatchbacks and into these small SUVs.
