![]() ![]() This test typically gives lower performance values than the old New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) test that was used previously. From 1 January 2019, the new Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) has been used to measure the fuel economy and CO2 emissions of new vehicles.Interestingly, the Volkswagen T-Cross has marginally more overall space with the rear seats folded, but loses out when it comes to actual boot space with all seats in place – 385L/1281L. The Kia Stonic makes do with 332L/1132L, whereas the Toyota Yaris Cross gets 390L with all seats up. It’s not perfectly flat, but it’s still useful if you want to throw in your surfboard, skis or an MTB.įor those who might be shopping around and who value volume back there, the weakest contender is the Mazda CX-3 with 264L – expanding to 1174L, while the Ford Puma gets a commendable 410L/1170L. It’s got 422 litres behind the rear seats, which expands to 1275 litres when folded. The rear-seats slide fore and aft (you can do that from the boot), which is handy if you need more rear leg room for taller folks, or more conversely, require more boot space.Įither way, the Renault Captur is the class leader when it comes to boot space. While legroom is plentiful up front, it’s another mixed bag for those in the second row. It’s not perfect by any stretch, but this is one city-size SUV that merits a spot on your consideration set in this segment. ![]() As a result, the diminutive Renault never feels under-baked and more refined in that regard. Its punchy 1.3-litre turbo powerplant delivers greater outputs than any of its rivals. Moreover, in a class where passenger and boot space is always in short on supply by virtue of their modest proportions, it’s the Captur that offers the most room and versatility. That’s said, there’s still plenty of upside for the Intens, not least of which is its fancy, tech-laden cabin, all-leather upholstery, and a generous catalogue of features you might struggle to find in some high-priced luxury makes. Line which adds a bunch of new design accents for the exterior including an F1-inspired front bumper insert as well as a host of additional features inside. While the Captur Intens is hanging onto the top spot in the model range, it’s about to be de-throned by the incoming R.S. That leaves the Captur to compete with the likes of the Ford Puma, Nissan Juke, Suzuki Ignis, and to a lesser extent, the Suzuki Jimny – if you can get your hands on one, though, I’d argue it’s a very different proposition given its revered off-road attributes. ![]() Korean twins Hyundai Venue and Kia Stonic are also major players in the sales race, while both Toyota Yaris Cross and Volkswagen T-Cross have also been racking up solid numbers lately. The Mazda CX-3 has been the clear favourite over the last couple of years holding as much as 32.5 per cent share of the segment. Nonetheless, the Captur needs all the help it can get because although the Light SUV segment makes up only around 5.0 per cent of the total number of cars sold in Australia each year, it’s still one very hotly contested segment, with at least eight other well-known brands all vying for market share. And bear in mind, that’s on top of a particularly generous standard equipment list. Most buyers won’t mind, though, given the extra features that come with it.Īny Renault Captur Intens built from January 2022 also picks up adaptive cruise control with stop/go, wireless phone charging, and a shark antenna instead of the older screw-in type. ![]() At least with the Captur, it’s a relatively pain-free bump across the range of between $850 and $1210. ![]()
