About the Renault Captur
In both of its UK generations, the Renault Captur has been a five-door sports utility vehicle (SUV). The original design for the Captur was based on the Renault Clio, itself a replacement for the old Renault 5 model. Four trim levels were made available to British drivers, to begin with. These were the Expression, the Expression +, the Dynamique Media Nav and the Dynamique S Media Nav. Two further trim levels, the Iconic and the Signature, were made available later. One diesel engine was brought out, a 1.5-litre K9K dCi. Three petrol-driven versions were offered in the first generation, a 0.9-litre, a 1.2-litre and a 1.3-litre. Only two petrol engines were made available after the mark II came out in 2019, however, as well as a beefed-up diesel option. A plug-in hybrid version was also introduced at this time.
