Verdict
The Renault Captur Mk1 Facelift costs RM5,135 more at RM107,980, and its 120 hp/205 Nm 1.2-litre turbo brings a useful 15 Nm torque gain over the Mk1’s 118 hp/190 Nm. Yet both weigh 1,180 kg, hit 100 km/h in 10.9 seconds and retain the same 377-litre boot. For a Malaysian used-car buyer, the Mk1’s 5.4 L/100 km rating, unlimited-mileage five-year warranty and lower entry price make it the sharper buy; choose the facelift for its LED tail lamps and added convenience kit.
Pick the Renault Captur Mk1 if you want the lower RM102,845 price, a 5.4 L/100 km rated consumption figure and unlimited mileage within its five-year warranty.
Pick the Renault Captur Mk1 Facelift if you will pay RM107,980 for 205 Nm, LED combination tail lamps and front-passenger auto-up/down window control.
