    What a surprise. Today's Renault Captur has matured from a patchy curio to a sophisticated small SUV capable of taking on all rivals. From its smart design and packaging to the quality interior and engineering, the Captur II combines comfort and agility with class, to challenge premium alternatives like the Mercedes GLA. The flagship RS Line is expensive, but it's also one of this segment's best.
