The Renault Captur is one of Europe's most popular small crossovers, built on Renault Clio technology. We look at how the 1st and 2nd generations differ, which engines and hybrid versions are available in the used market, how the trims vary, and what to check when buying.
The 1st generation Captur was produced from 2013 to 2019 and was based on the 4th generation Clio. The 2nd generation, produced since 2019, is based on the 5th generation Clio technology: it's larger, more refined, and comes with hybrid versions. The 2nd generation was refreshed in 2024 with a revised front end and multimedia system.
The Captur is praised for its higher seating position, sliding rear seats that extend the boot space, and often a two-tone body. It doesn't offer four-wheel drive — the car is always front-wheel drive.
The 1st generation (2013–2019) is more basic, with plenty of hard plastics inside, but it's practical: in some trims, the seat covers can be removed and washed. The 2017 facelift brought a slightly refreshed look, better trim, and LED headlights on higher trims. It's the more budget-friendly option.
The 2nd generation (from 2019) is a significant step up: the interior is more refined, there's a large vertical touchscreen, more driver assistance systems, and better sound insulation. This generation is the most popular in the used market, especially the 2020–2023 models.
If your budget allows, opt for the second generation — it's safer, quieter and more modern, with hybrid versions particularly economical in the city.
In the first generation, you'll commonly find 0.9 TCe (90 hp) and 1.2 TCe (around 120 hp) petrol engines, along with the 1.5 dCi diesel (90–110 hp). From 2018, the 1.2 TCe was replaced by the 1.3 TCe.
The second generation primarily features 1.0 TCe (90–100 hp, with factory-fitted LPG available) and 1.3 TCe (around 130–160 hp, later with a mild hybrid) petrol engines, the 1.5 Blue dCi diesel, the plug-in hybrid E-Tech, and the full hybrid E-Tech.
Gearboxes come in manual or dual-clutch automatic EDC. Hybrid E-Tech versions have their own unique automatic gearbox.
The first-gen 1.2 TCe engine is known for increased oil consumption — ask about oil top-ups and check if the engine smokes. The EDC gearbox should shift smoothly; any hesitation or vibration from a standstill often indicates a clutch repair is needed.
For diesel cars, check the particulate filter (DPF), and for newer Blue dCi models, the AdBlue system. For hybrid E-Tech versions, ask if all software updates have been performed.
Test the multimedia system — the screen shouldn't freeze or glitch. Check the mileage against service records and MOT history, and inspect the body for repainted parts.
Names and equipment vary by market and year; we list the most common trims found in Europe.

For most buyers, the best choice is the Intens or Techno trim with the 1.3 TCe engine or E-Tech hybrid. Zen is ideal for those on a tighter budget, while Initiale Paris caters to those seeking maximum comfort.
For many buyers, the best choice is the second generation: it's safer, more refined, and more comfortable. The first generation is better for a smaller budget, ideally with a 0.9 TCe, 1.3 TCe, or 1.5 dCi engine and a good service history.
Yes, if the gearbox is working smoothly and has a service history. Test the initial movement and slow driving in traffic — any hesitation is a sign that a repair might be needed.
The E-Tech full hybrid charges itself while driving and braking, so it doesn't need to be plugged into the power grid. The E-Tech Plug-in has a larger battery that can be charged from a socket and can cover short distances on electric power alone.
No, the Captur is always front-wheel drive. It's suited to city and suburban roads, but it's not designed for off-roading.
