The purveyors of the new Renault Captur, Bidvest McCarthy Renault Gateway, recently proved their mettle when they walked away with the Dealer Of The Year (Large Dealer Category) 2022, along with a string of individual awards. "Our success is all thanks to our clients and their unwavering support. We go the extra mile for them and are forever grateful for their support, we would be nothing without them," says New Car Sales Manager Nick Davids.
I had the pleasure of test-driving the all-new Renault Captur and I can report that it was more than just thrilling. Having sold over one and a half million Capturs, Renault really got behind this model and made it special.
The out-of-the-starting-blocks, spirited acceleration I experienced comes from the thirteen-hundred cc turbo charged engine. With 113 kilowatts and impressive low down torque from the 270 Newton meters, the Captur came across as extremely capable. The feeling of power at your finger tips comes from the gear change paddles mounted on the steering wheel, which control the super smooth seven speed automatic Efficiency Dual Clutch (EDC) gearbox. Acceleration was always right there, waiting for just a little pressure on the pedal. If you take the pressure off the pedal, you can achieve fuel consumption figures of as little as 6.6 litres per hundred kilometres, another buying signal.
The new Captur follows quality build cues from the super successful Clio, and the refreshed modern body styling gives this crossover SUV a presence that speaks of confidence and power.
Renault have filled the Captur with safety specifications that have earned it a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating. Elements like the Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), Anti-Locking Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), and Hill Start Assist (HSA) combined with six airbags, make for a very comprehensive list.
There is so much more to the Captur, like Blind spot Warning Assist and Traffic Sign Recognition, more than I can tell you here, however the best way to really check out the new Renault Captur would be to take it for a test drive.
