Renault Capture

A compact crossover has to balance the raised seating and everyday practicality people want from an SUV with the easier footprint of a smaller car. Renault Capture is Renault’s small crossover, aimed at routine driving rather than heavy off-road use. Its format makes it a more city-focused alternative to larger SUVs, while still offering a higher driving position and a versatile cabin. The trade-off is that compact dimensions bring less room and hauling capacity than a bigger family SUV, and the crossover shape is not a substitute for serious off-road hardware. By our assessment, Renault Capture has a clear role in the small-SUV category, though the exact equipment and driving character depend on the version and market. It is most relevant where a raised seating position matters more than maximum interior space.
