Renault Captur Test: Deutsch

In this test, we put the Renault Captur up against its competitor from KIA in a reliability and safety showdown. Our research showed that visitors to our website rate the reliability of Renault with an average rating of 4.1 out of 5, while models under the KIA badge receive a slightly higher score of 4.6.

While it's essential to note that reliability is not just determined by the make level, we did find that Renault has a slight advantage when all its models are taken into account. Another important factor is kerb weight, and here the French car offers a marginal difference of 1% more metal compared to its competitor.

As both vehicles belong to the SUV segment, which is known for its safety features, this isn't necessarily a decisive factor in choosing between the two cars. However, there are other aspects worth considering beyond official crash test results. For instance, both cars underwent testing by the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP), with the Renault Captur displaying significantly better structural stability.

Looking at the powertrains of these two SUVs, we find that the Renault Captur is equipped with a Nissan-engineered 3-cylinder, 12-valve 100hp unit, while its competitor from KIA gets its power and torque from a 3-cylinder, 12-valve 120hp engine designed by Hyundai. Despite belonging to the same SUV segment and sharing the same 5-door body style and front-wheel drive system, it is ultimately the specific petrol engine choice that sets these two cars apart.

In summary, our Renault Captur test highlights the importance of paying attention to details when making a decision between two similar cars like this. While they may share many similarities, it's the subtle differences that could potentially make all the difference.
