Renault has updated the Captur, the first extensive reshaping of the car since its initial introduction in 2015 and with some 2-million global sales under its wheels.The exterior adopts Renault's newer brand identity. This includes a redesigned grille with a distinctive light play, a more horizontal bonnet and full LED lighting front and rear with a new welcome sequence. The rear features transparent light housings and a revised diffuser.

Five body colours are offered, including the new Urban Grey, with two-tone options remaining. Wheel designs grow to 18-inches and 19-inches on higher trim levels.
Inside, the focus is on a more premium ambience and connected technology. A 10,4-inch vertical touchscreen running the OpenR Link system is now standard across the range, offering smartphone-like integration. The cabin retains its practical hallmark: a sliding rear bench that adjusts by up to 16 cm to prioritise either passenger legroom or boot space, the latter expanding to a maximum of 616 litres. Sustainable materials feature more prominently, with certain upholstery incorporating 26% recycled fabrics.
A new Esprit Alpine trim joins the line-up, inspired by Renault's performance division. It adds specific styling cues, 19-inch alloy wheels, and interior accents such as blue top-stitching and aluminium pedals.

Powertrain options are simplified, with the range now powered by a 1,3-litre turbo-petrol engine delivering 113 kW and 270 Nm of torque, paired with an Efficient Dual-Clutch (EDC) transmission. Claimed average fuel consumption is 6,6 l/100 km. The Multi-Sense system, offering selectable driving modes, is available on mid-tier Iconic trim and above.
Safety and driver assistance features are enhanced under Renault's Human First Programme. Standard equipment includes Hill Start Assist, Blind Spot Warning and a 360-degree parking aid. The Intelligent Speed Assistance system and Predictive Eco Driving Advice, which provides feedback on driving efficiency, are also fitted.
The updated Captur range is covered by a 5-year/150 000 km mechanical warranty and a 3-year/45 000 km service plan.
