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.

We wouldn't recommend it though, because it's too expensive.
The engine
See full engine specsWe’re yet to try this manual-only 1.5-litre diesel, but given the price gap you’d have to cover a lot of miles before its economy started to pay for itself.
