How reliable is the Renault Captur?
Is a used Renault Captur hatchback reliable? The Captur didn’t feature in our most recent reliability survey. In the previous one, it finished in a rather disappointing 14th place in the table of small SUVs. In the same survey, Renault as a brand finished in 30th place out of 31 manufacturers.
What weight can a Renault Captur tow?
900kg
This year’s winner of the Best Ultralight Tow Car award is the Renault Captur. A low towing limit of just 900kg rules it out for a full-sized caravan, but anyone with a trailer tent to tow should put the Captur at the top of their shortlist.
Does the Renault Captur have a timing belt or chain?
Every Renault Captur engine is cambelt-driven and this will need replacement every six years or 90,000 miles, which will cost around £420. Every five years or 90,000 miles the coolant should be replaced, and the brake fluid is due a change every three years or 72,000 miles.
How many MPG does the Renault Captur do?
Most Captur buyers will probably choose the mid-range TCe140 model, which is capable of a maximum 48.7mpg, or a little less when combined with the seven-speed auto transmission. CO2 emissions of between 131 and 136g/km can’t be bettered by the TCe90, and economy is actually a little worse at 47.9mpg max.
What’s the fastest Renault Captur?
PHEV
The PHEV is the quickest Captur, officially hitting 0-62mph in a lively 8.6sec. It has a claimed electric-only range of around 30 miles. The E-Tech Hybrid 145 is best suited to trundling along in town traffic at low speeds without needing the engine.
