Is newer better? Updated Renault Captur Review - Engine, Pricing, Interior, Rivals

The Renault Captur is a popular compact family car in South Africa and this particular derivative (66 kW dCi Dynamique) is 1 of 3 finalists in its category of the 2017/18 Cars.co.za Consumer Awards, powered by WesBank. #CarsAwards judge Juliet McGuire takes a closer look.
The Captur competes with the Ford Ecosport, Hyundai Creta, Mazda CX-3 and Suzuki Vitara (to name a few examples) and the model, with its funky and colourful character that allows buyers to create interesting colour combinations for the exterior, received a mild facelift for 2017.
As even the Renault doesn’t skimp on safety or entertainment features and therefore offers very good value for money. This diesel version costs R294 900, but pricing for the range begins at just R229 900. Factor in the 3-year/45 000 km service plan and 5-year/150 000 km warranty and it’s not difficult to understand why the fun-loving Captur continues to sell so strongly.

It's much easier to slide the back seats: You don't have to go inside the back seat compartment and slide the seats as shown, you can do it easily and effortlessly from the boot, by just pulling a lever :)

They used sharp pencils, didn't change very much. I really dislike the position of the screen. Besides that, it's an awesome car. Very practical. Loads of space. Punchy. A looker. Awesome review 🙌🏾👏🏽

What are the monthly sales numbers for Captur in SA?

[@sandeepanand2672]

Captur looks awesome. It should continue the chain of comfort from Renault like Lodgy and Duster.

[@LunaB5488]

Dream Car

[@SKIKR]

Best engine in my opinion

[@wyndts4]

It's not easy to fold rear seat... I guess...

[@davee9766]

You do it from the boot. Easy

[@jeancoetzee2800]

I'll stick to my 20l/100km. I would like to see the Opel Insignia GSI here in RSA.

[@Mr.word1995]

Hi

[@extremiztic]

Go home creep.

[@davee9766]

Why don't reviewers familiarize themselves with a product BEFORE going on camera? Just makes you look like a numb nut! The seats slide forward using a handle in the BOOT! Easy!

How does a blonde change the seat configuration.....haha
