The model
Read full reviewWhile we can see the appeal of the Captur’s funky looks and affordable starting price, by the time you get an engine with enough power coupled to the right trim, it's not that cheap. And all the engines are relatively weak next to those offered in the better-handling and better-packaged Ford Puma; it doesn't ride anywhere near as well as a Volkswagen T-Roc; plus, if it's space you're after, the Skoda Kamiq is much bigger and has a nicer interior.

See full equipmentThis expensive top-end model comes with 18in alloy wheels that make it ride worse and an eight-speaker (with a subwoofer) BOSE sound system.
The engine
See full engine specsAvailable only with a seven-speed automatic gearbox, this top-spec 1.3-litre feels a bit stronger than the TCe 130, but given its higher price, we’d avoid it unless you must have more poke.
