The Captur's fairly supple suspension does a good job of soaking up bumps and potholes in urban environments, although things get slightly fussier the faster you go. That said, this makes the car feel stable on the motorway. The steering is light, which makes for easy urban manoeuvring, but it's also rather vague and lifeless when cornering. There’s plenty of grip through corners, and while there’s noticeable body roll, the Renault is more predictable and planted than a Nissan Juke or Peugeot 2008. The 1.2 offers all the other virtues of other Captur models. However, it’s much better to simply leave the ‘box to its own devices. Instead, you simply knock the gear lever forwards or back to change up and down.

While the six-speed auto does have a manual mode, there are no paddles behind the steering wheel.

It’s best left in Eco mode when you’re queuing, which restricts power delivery and keeps things as smooth as possible. Similarly- or better-equipped crossovers for around the Captur Intens’ $30,000 asking price include the brand new Citroen C3 Aircross and Hyundai Kona Elite, Mazda CX-3 sTouring, Peugeot 2008 Allure and Toyota C-HR.In stop-start traffic, the auto ’box is impressive. The Captur still oozes Gallic charm, however, the belated entry of the Japanese and Korean carmakers to the small-SUV segment means it no longer has that unique appeal. And it was too easy for the driver’s seat cushion to snare takeaway coffee cup lids, with soggy results.

The cupholders are small and poorly placed between the seats slightly behind your hip line and under the armrest so you have to reach back and under to grab your drink.

The infotainment display is a little dated and the full-screen satellite navigation map view is partially obscured by a menu that can’t be hidden.

It still lacks advanced safety features such as automatic emergency braking which is now becoming standard equipment in the small-SUV segment.

The Captur shares the Clio’s 1.2-litre powertrain which brings with it a bit of turbo lag and the added handicap of being 100kg heavier.

Bluetooth syncing is very quick and simple.

There’s a deep centre console bin and a hatch on top of the dashboard reveals a decent space to leave things like sunglasses and phones. Fold the rear seatbacks down and it carries 1255 litres.

Boot space is a class-leading 455 litres, significantly more than the Mitsubishi ASX (393 litres), Mazda CX-3 (263-litres) and even the larger CX-5 (442 litres).

The ride is pretty smooth, even on the Intens’ bigger 17-inch wheels, and rides over speed bumps particularly well.

We averaged around 6.1L/100km, mostly around town.

It’s pretty fuel efficient – with an official combined fuel consumption figure of 5.4L/100km.

That said there’s a bit of power in reserve for overtaking.

It can be a bit sluggish on takeoff, but once it gets going the Captur moves along even if it will never threaten any speed records.

The rear seats are comfortable and offer plenty of leg and headroom for two adults.

The facelifted interior is an improvement over the previous model, with more soft touch plastics and sporty steering wheel borrowed from the Clio.

It has charming looks and a broad appeal that some crossovers try for but don’t quite achieve.
