Renault Captur vs Toyota Yaris Cross
Verdict
At RM107,980 against RM99,900, the Renault Captur asks RM8,080 more and gives you the stronger drivetrain: 120 hp and 205 Nm versus the Toyota Yaris Cross at 105 hp and 138 Nm. The Toyota hits back where small-family SUV buyers will feel it daily, with a longer body, slightly longer wheelbase, much taller roof and a 471-litre boot against 377 litres. The Renault is narrower only by height? No — it is actually 8 mm wider. But the Toyota also gets six airbags to the Renault’s four.
Pick the Renault Captur if you want the stronger petrol drivetrain, lower RM85 road tax and a slightly wider body.
Pick the Toyota Yaris Cross if boot space, cabin height and six airbags matter more than outright power.
