I have a Captur II and find it a fine car, but the one thing you must know is to have a set of chains or socks, because the anti-skid system cannot be cancelled temporarily to gain added traction. Recently, I was caught on a frozen road and only 5 cms of snow. The car is equipped with all-season tyres, but to no avail, because the anti-skid system kicks in at once and on the slightest slope there is no movement possible, leaving you a potential target for any oncoming traffic. This is a real disadvantage and a potential danger. The hybrid plug-in is no longer manufactured, I believe, but I'll keep mine and buy a pair of tyre socks.
I am waiting for this car at the moment. I think its a great car with options. Diamond white WITH BLACK ROOF. ALSO PETROL AND ELECTRIC. THANKS RENAULT. XX.
"Unless you have a very dedicated charging regime". Well, if you buy a PHEV or an electric, you plug it every day like an electric, full stop. If you don't, there's no point in buying one. For other types of cars, you struggle to match the official economy figures, on a PHEV, you can easily exceed them, if you can commute in EV mode, your fuel tank will last forever.

Not quite forever. The petrol fuel starts to degrade after a few months
