Renault, like its French rival Peugeot, didn't quite nail the first attempt at a compact SUV. The first Captur was a Clio with some ride height and a new body and didn't quite make the cut for Australian buyers. Partly because the original engine was borderline anaemic but secondly, it was really small.
When you're French, you have more work to do in the Australian market. I don't make the rules, which is a shame for a number of reasons but my colleagues seem to think it's better this way.
Anyway, I didn't mind the old Captur but was well aware of its shortcomings. This new one - on paper at least - looks far more promising.
More market-appropriate pricing, more space, a better interior and lots more tech, the second-generation Captur even rolls on a whole new platform, promising more space and better dynamics.

Having owned a 2017 model, i can vouch for the quality of the build. They are very solidly built vehicles , with no creaks or groans with excellent paint quality and comfort i very good.

Great review for the 12 people that buy a Renault a month in Australia.

Not true, and Aussies should buy them because they're great value for money and superior in a few ways to other SUVs. The rating systems for publications like Carsguide are so arbitrary, French vehicles seem to be limited to a score of 7.5 yet it's smooth driving, peppy and has a very fresh interior.

Looks good, terrible resale

@ytlurker220 3 жыл бұрын

@@andrewgreen215 resale is ok considering costs are brought down by a low upfront price considering what's included and long service intervals. Besides, most Australians keep new cars for 10+ years so resale shouldn't even be considered upon purchase. What's wrong with buying a car that's superior in every way than rival SUVs? Look at the interior and exterior design, infotainment system, boot space, and engine performance. Nothing wrong with paying a similar amount for a niche car that your heart is set on.

@@ytlurker220 no arguments there it looks like a really nice car but I worked in the car industry for years as an appraiser and every time someone pulled up in a Renault, Peugeot etc the salesman would run to the toilets knowing that the people would hit the roof when told what their cars were worth

Is the dual clutch transmission a wet clutch on this new model? The old EDC was a dry clutch Getrag unit that was also used on the Ford Focus.

The 2023 Mitsubishi ASX will be an identical car rebadged. I’ve looked at the Renault and love it’s design and tech but will put it off till the new ASX hits the shores as the accessibility to a Mitsubishi dealer is a lot easier and although the same car resale will be better (go figure). Renault may have to look at its price with a twin living next door.

those new ASX car rebadged wont enter Australian market , its only for European market , it's not planned for Australia. I read it from drive website back in October 2022.

@@rio20d its actually all over the news, even in carsales website. It is designed specifically for the European market. I am actually glad that it won't come to australia because its really just a rebadge captur - kinda lazy for Mitsu to be doing that if you ask me. I still like the exterior look of the current ASX but they really need to update its interior.
