![]() ![]() ![]() The base Captur ticks most key safety boxes (stability control, rear parking sensors, reversing camera) but rear occupants – just like the Clio – miss out on the potentially life-saving curtain airbags afforded to those up front.Īutomatic-equipped Expression models kick off from $25,990 and are differentiated by their TCe 120 moniker. Renault's five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty is another tempter and service costs are capped to $299 for the first three services (three years/45,000km, with yearly/15,000km intervals). It packs a generous feature count for an entry-level model, with climate control, keyless entry/start, auto headlights/wipers, a fuel-saving auto start/stop system, Bluetooth and a seven-inch touch-screen infotainment system with satellite navigation all part of the standard fare. There are baby SUVs with lower entry points than the Captur but the cheapest model, the Expression TCe 90 manual tested here, is far from costly at $22,990 plus on-road costs. Renault has also joined the party with the Captur we're testing here, which blends Clio-spec mechanicals with its own uniquely funky body and all the necessary SUV accoutrements. So far this year we've seen Honda and Mazda join the class, making a tussle that was previously just between Ford, Holden, Nissan and Peugeot rather more interesting. And 2015, despite being just a few months old, has been when things have really taken off. It hasn't taken long for the baby SUV segment to go from curiosity to a competitive, fully fledged market segment. ![]()
