Recommended Variant

Even the base RXE variant of the Captur makes sense as it does not miss out on most of the essential features, it is also fitted with a whole host of safety features. Renault is also offering a vast accessory catalogue which can help spec the base variant to a respectable level. The best variant to go for is the RXT, with gets almost all the features offered on the top-of-the-line Platine variant except for mostly cosmetic updates.
