Without any sporting, extravagant, or technological pretensions, the Captur embraces its status as a reasonable model.
Renault has always aimed to satisfy a broad audience. While the manufacturer is betting on electric for the future, it continues to offer combustion solutions for heavy drivers. Not everything is as binary as electric or thermal. Many hesitate to switch entirely to electric, fearing charging constraints or an inadequate network. Others want to reduce their emissions without necessarily joining the “zero CO2” community. And why not choose French to support an industry faced with foreign giants? Ultimately, choosing a car remains a matter of freedom.
SUVs, although often criticized for their size and weight, offer undeniable comfort and safety. A raised position allows better anticipation of dangers and protects both the driver and pedestrians. So why blame a compact, lightweight, and well-designed SUV? With manageable dimensions and a weight under 2 tons, it’s no worse than a sedan.
The king of compromise
The Renault Captur embodies this idea of balance. This compact SUV offers a hybrid powertrain combining the advantages of electric and thermal engines. Its modularity stands out with a sliding bench seat over 16 cm, providing either more legroom or a spacious 616-liter trunk. In hybrid mode, it allows up to 80% electric driving in the city and 40% fuel savings, while reducing emissions. Its battery charges while driving, without the need for plugging in, a boon for electro-skeptics. With 145 horsepower, it also guarantees driving pleasure.
Until the end of May 2025, Renault offers the Captur Evolution E-Tech 145 through long-term leasing for 37 months and 30,000 km starting at €290 per month, with an initial contribution of €3,500. This offer includes warranty, assistance, and maintenance. It’s neither the most advanced nor the cheapest model, but it proves that a sensible alternative to all-electric or all-thermal is possible. And for that alone, it deserves attention.
