The second-generation Captur range opens with the sharply-priced Life, kicking off at $28,190 before on-roads.

The Life has 17-inch wheels, a cloth interior, auto headlights, air-conditioning, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on the 7.0-inch landscape-oriented touchscreen, full LED headlights (that’s a nice touch), front and rear parking sensors, a reversing camera and a space saver spare.

All three Capturs are powered by the same 1.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder with 113kW and 270Nm of torque, delivering a claimed combined cycle fuel figure of 6.6L/100km.

The standard safety package consists of six airbags, ABS, stability and traction controls, forward AEB (up to 170km/h) with pedestrian and cyclist detection (10-80km/h), reversing camera, rear parking sensors, forward collision warning, lane departure warning and lane keep assist.

Captur was awarded a maximum five-star ANCAP rating via its arrangement with Euro NCAP.

You can pay a further $1000 for the Peace of Mind package which adds reverse cross-traffic alert and blind-spot monitoring.

Peter grew up in a house in Western Sydney where automotive passion extended to white Sigmas and Magnas. At school he discovered "those" magazines that weren't to be found in the house. Magazines that offered him the chance to sit in the driver's seat of cars he’d never even heard of let alone seen. His path to rebellion was set - he would love cars, know cars and want to write about cars, much to his family’s disgust. They wanted him to be a teacher. He bought a series of terrible cars and lusted after Ford Escort Cosworths, the Alfa Romeo 164 Q and occasionally kicked himself for selling his 1977 Alfa GTV. From 1.0-litre three cylinders to roaring V12s, Peter has driven them all and can't wait to tell you all about it.
