![]() ![]() For the best readings, you'll most of the time want to stay in 'MySense', a hybrid setting which blends the petrol and electric motor output for maximum economy. ![]() But you're not going to want to use that too often for fear of decimating the frugal fuel returns which would have prompted you to choose this car in the first place. There's plenty of mid-range pulling power, so plenty of scope for enthusiastic progress here, particularly if you select the most dynamic of the three drive modes on offer - 'Sport'. The rest of the drivetrain has somehow been shoehorned beneath the bonnet. The gearbox is an auto of course (but of the more unusual 'dog box' clutchless variety) and the motor is powered by 1.2 kWh lithium-ion battery pack located beneath the boot floor. Like the brand's racing powerplant, this one is extremely compact and features two electric motors, one with 36kW on the rear of the gearbox and one with 15kW on top of the transmission, along with a four-cylinder 1.6-litre normally aspirated petrol engine which contributes most to the 145hp total output. Renault makes much of the way the design of this car's engine borrows from its F1 racing technology. Here, Captur customers are offered a 'self-charging' full-Hybrid unit like that in rival Toyota C-HR or a Hyundai Kona Hybrid small SUV models, so it can, for very short periods, run independently on full-electric power (unlike the 'mild hybrid' engines you'll now find in quite a few of this car's small SUV rivals). And you don't have the hassle of having to continually plug it in. We suspect that this lighter HEV derivative might sometimes be more frugal to run in the real world too. While delivering very similar fuel and CO2 efficiency figures.Īdvantages over the PHEV variant include a huge £5,000 price saving and a much larger boot. Unlike its PHEV stablemate, this self-charging HEV model sells for diesel variant money and will cost a lot less than a black pump-fuelled small SUV to tax. ![]() BackgroundĪlmost un-noticed was Renault's decision at the end of 2020 to dump all the dCi diesel versions of its Captur small SUV in preparation for the launch of this model, the Captur E-Tech Hybrid 160. You do without the PHEV variant's 31 mile electric driving range and super-low Benefit-in-Kind taxation exposure, but there's a big price saving to compensate and a more real-world-achievable set of efficiency stats. Having brought us a Plug-in version of its Captur small SUV, Renault completed the E-TECH part of this compact crossover model's range with this self-charging HEV 145 version. With self-charging hybrid tech, an electrified version of Renault's Captur makes more sense, thinks Jonathan Crouch Weight and Capacities Fuel Tank Capacity (Litres) Standard manufacturers warranty - Mileage NCAP Overall Rating - Effective February 09 Manufacturers Paintwork Guarantee - Years Manufacturers Corrosion Perforation Guarantee - Years Insurance Group 1 - 50 Effective January 07 Please speak to the dealership for full current specification.Įlectric Vehicle Data Battery Capacity in kWhįuel Consumption - ICE WLTP - FC (l/100km) - Comb The vehicle information above was correct at time of manufacture.
