Test Drive and Review: Renault Captur I Facelift

04 Martie 2026 | Simple Rent

Renault Captur

In an era where the automotive landscape is dominated by ever more complex and bulky vehicles, there is one model that has managed to find the perfect balance between practicality, style and operating costs: the Renault Captur. Available in our car rental Cluj fleet, the 2019 model represents the peak of the first generation, a vehicle refined to answer modern needs of urban mobility and beyond.

A Design That Does Not Age: Aesthetics and Practicality

From the very start, the Renault Captur was a trendsetter, and the facelift version available at Simple Rent carries that legacy forward. The fluid lines of the crossover body are not only attractive, they are practical. With a compact length of 4122 mm and a width of 1778 mm, the Captur is the ideal precision tool for navigating the historic centre of Cluj or finding a parking spot in busy areas.

A distinctive feature of this 2019 model is its lighting system. While the main headlights use classic technology for maximum reliability, the visual signature is given by the Daylight LED daytime running lights. They give the car a modern, premium look in daily traffic and significantly increase visibility and safety, making the car easy to spot for other road users.

Turbo Efficiency: The 0.9 TCe Engine with 90 HP

The heart of this model is the 898 cm³ petrol engine, fitted with a turbocharger and an intercooler. This engine is a successful demonstration of downsizing, delivering 90 HP at 5000 rpm and a torque of 140 Nm available from as low as 2250 rpm.

For a customer looking for rent a car Cluj, this engine offers unbeatable economic advantages:

  • Urban consumption: approximately 6 l/100 km, optimised by the Start & Stop system that turns off the engine while waiting at traffic lights.

  • Extra-urban consumption: a remarkable 4.5 l/100 km, ideal for trips to the Turda Salt Mine or the nearby mountain areas.

  • Combined consumption: an average of 5.1 l/100 km, meaning fewer stops at the petrol station and more money saved for your holiday experiences.

The transmission is a 5-speed manual gearbox sending power to the front wheels, offering precise control and an engaging driving experience.

Space and Modularity: A Surprising Interior

Although it looks like a small-class car on the outside, the interior architecture of the Renault Captur defies expectations. With a wheelbase of 2606 mm, the cabin offers enough room for 5 passengers.

Modularity is the strong point of this crossover:

  • Boot capacity: the minimum volume starts at 455 litres, but by sliding or folding the rear seats, it can be expanded up to an impressive 1235 litres. It is the ideal space for transfers from Cluj Airport with large luggage or for weekend gear.

  • Ground clearance: with a clearance of 170 mm, the Captur gives you the freedom to tackle high kerbs or the unpaved roads leading to the most beautiful guest houses in the Apuseni Mountains without worry.

Safety and Comfort at European Standards

At Simple Rent, the safety of our customers comes first. The Captur 2019 is equipped with essential assistance systems, including ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), ensuring controlled braking in any conditions. The braking system uses ventilated discs on the front axle and drums at the rear, an optimal configuration for the vehicle's kerb weight of 1105 kg.

Road holding is balanced thanks to the front independent McPherson suspension and the rear torsion beam axle, offering greater comfort even over urban bumps.
