The Renault Captur is well priced, comfortable, has a great infotainment system and is one of few small SUVs with sliding rear seats. It’s only average to drive though, and interior quality could be better. So far, we've driven the hybrid version, but the cheaper TCe 90 petrol is likely to offer better value. Mid-spec Techno is our pick of the trims.

We'd avoid range-topping Esprit Alpine trim, because this removes one of the Captur's most appealing strengths: it's low price. Mind you, it certainly comes with plenty of kit.

This 141bhp 1.6-litre hybrid is much more expensive than the regular petrol, and the way it delivers its power is slightly inconsistent. We don't think it's worth the extra, even though it offers much better fuel economy.
