I brought top end diesel variant. Very underrated and all arround impressive car. I was considering Maruthi S Cross, Duster, XUV300 but after delibration and a sweet deal zeroed in on Captur.
Pros: good mileage for a near 1.4 ton car . I have driven few hundred kms. In highways under sedate driving conditions 22kmpl is a given and can achieve upto 25kmpl max with ac on and let me tell you the ac is very impressive.
The build quality is very reassuring, there is a thud with which you ought to close the door, else it wont lock, pretty much ford like built quality.
Engine is very punchy and even in eco mode with passengers, there is no lag and pick up is pretty good. The car is very stable and almost no rollover in high speed. Small potholes are negligible and the comfort seats add to the almost magical carpet ride.
Full LED headlights with DRLs illuminating the sides gives a wide berth all the time during night which acts as cornering function too. Android n apple auto car play has been updated n the rear passenger leg space has been tweaked which is now as spacious as a Maruthi S Cross backspace.
Overall very much satisfied with the product with an engine of a Merc, floating indicator of an Audi, eye catching heavy road presence, great road grip n handling and being a Renault engine, a confidence that the car is good enough for 3 lakh kms drive, it is mighty underated.
Cons: The gear knob n steering feel isnt premium but can be overlooked by adding accessories.
