Renault Reviews

What a surprise. Today's Renault Captur has matured from a patchy curio to a sophisticated small SUV capable of taking on all rivals. From its smart design and packaging to the quality interior and engineering, the Captur II combines comfort and agility with class, to challenge premium alternatives like the Mercedes GLA. The flagship RS Line is expensive, but it's also one of this segment's best.

The Renault Captur is a stylish looking entry to Renault's smallest SUV range. It's a cute little package that could appeal to those who love the hatchback experience but need an SUV. Its size makes it well-suited to city living but has it compromised on some comforts to be this compact?

The Renault Koleos is getting on in years, but does the value-focused offering make sense against its newer rivals?

The Renault Arkana is a new nameplate for the French brand, and indeed offers a new direction for the company. This coupe-style SUV - with its lower, sleek roofline - is clearly inspired by the likes of the BMW X4 and X6, and Mercedes GLC Coupe and GLE Coupe, but comes in at a far more affordable price than any coupe-style SUV that has come before it from a European brand. But is it good value?

The Zen is the second in the three tier range and is the best value of the three at $30,790.

The top-of-the-range Intens finishes the Captur range at $35,670, $5000 more than the Zen.

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

The 2021 Renault Captur aims to expunge the shortcomings of the car it replaces, with more space, better drivetrain and a whole heap of new tech.

The growing popularity of mid-sized (2.5-3.5 tonne GVM) commercial vans that can carry up to six people, generically known as crew vans, has seen an increasing number of rivals from mainstream manufacturers with a second row of seats. These include Toyota, Ford, Hyundai, Renault, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz.There’s no argument that 4x4 dual cab utes are by far Australia’s most popular and versatile light commercial vehicles. However, not everyone needs high-riding off-road ability and some would happily trade that for more spacious rear seating and a huge fully-enclosed cargo bay to carry their crew and all their gear – be it for work or play.It's those two key attributes which present a compelling argument for crew vans – but which one would you choose? We’ve combined our most recent road test activity of three of Australia’s best examples from Toyota, Ford and Renault to see how they measure up in a side-by-side comparison.

The Renault Kadjar Intens looks like the perfect urban car on paper, but what's it really like to drive in the city?
