b The Energy TCe 150 was introduced in 2018.

a The Energy dCi 110 was introduced in 2015.In some versions, it also adds removable seat covers with zippers, a new Renault satellite navigation system with touchscreen, reverse cameras and automated head lamps and windscreen wiper. As standard, it has parking sensors and voice activation for certain functions. In 2018, the Captur added the sportier S-edition. In December 2013, Renault added a top-of-the-range Signature trim and, in 2015, the Iconic. The Captur originally had four trim levels in the UK: Expression, Expression+, Dynamique Media Nav and Dynamique S Media Nav. The Captur has some new elements, such as a large drawer-like glovebox that is more easily reachable by the driver, instead of a conventional glove compartment in left hand drive models. Brakes are discs on front and drums on rear. The car suspension is made up of MacPherson struts on front and a twist-beam axle on rear. It has various customisation options for the interior and the exterior. It incorporates design lines from the homonymous concept, as part of Renault's renovated design strategy developed by Laurens van den Acker. Nice.The J87 Captur is based on the fourth generation Clio and rides on the B platform.

Oh, and you’ll get a free wallbox charger for your house, courtesy of BP Chargemaster. Lines also include an Active Emergency Braking System as standard. There’s lane-departure warning, traffic sign recognition and automatic high and low beam, while R.S. All get a hefty 447-litre boot in Sport Tourer form and come with a suite of standard safety systems. On the Megane, though, the only options are Iconic or R.S.

That means on the Clio and the Captur you’ll be able to buy the powertrain no matter what trim level you can afford. Well, Renault says it wants to democratise hybrid power with its E-Tech systems. That’s impressive for something with a 0-60mph time in single figures, and although it might not appreciate completely on-the-edge driving, the Megane retains most of that efficiency even if you get excited with your right foot. In Sport Tourer form Renault claims this Megane manages 217.2mpg on the WLTP test and emits only 30g/km of CO2. They’re really rather good is what they are. Renault should shout about it and make a feature of it. The steering is well weighted too, and there’s a linear feel to the brake pedal despite its regenerative properties.Īll-in-all you can sense that this hybrid system is an extremely clever one, even if it’s meant to be a cheaper alternative, and it being made obvious really isn’t an issue. There are three drive modes – the aforementioned ‘Pure’ as well as Sport (does what it says on the tin) and MySense which optimises for efficiency in hybrid driving. It’s nothing to be alarmed about though, and listening to the drivetrain to work out what it's doing at which point in time becomes an interesting way to pass the time.

The engine speed will generally match road speed pretty well and only sounds a little strange as it keeps spinning just a second longer than you’d expect after lifting off.ĭrain the battery and you’ll also get a slightly different noise as the four-cylinder ICE transforms into a generator – sending its power directly to the battery to ensure you’ve got enough charge to always start the car in EV only mode. Gearchanges are smooth and there’s far less of a rubber band rev effect than you’d get with a CVT-equipped hybrid system.
