Verdict
The Renault Captur Mk1 Facelift adds 2 hp and 15 Nm, reaching 120 hp and 205 Nm, yet its 0-100 km/h time remains 10.9 seconds. For a Malaysian buyer, the RM5,135 step up is therefore more about the LED combination taillamps and front-passenger auto window than outright pace. The original is the sharper used buy if running costs matter: its rated consumption is 5.4 L/100 km against 5.9 L/100 km, and it carries unlimited five-year warranty mileage rather than a 150,000-km cap.
Pick the Renault Captur Mk1 if you want the lower price, better 5.4 L/100 km rated economy and unlimited five-year warranty mileage.
Pick the Renault Captur Mk1 Facelift if you want 205 Nm, LED combination taillamps and auto up/down for both front windows.
