Renault Captur: Mk1 vs Mk1 Facelift
Verdict
Between these two CKD B-segment SUVs, the Renault Captur Mk1 Facelift asks RM107,980 against RM102,845 for the Renault Captur Mk1, a RM5,135 step up for 120 hp and 205 Nm instead of 118 hp and 190 Nm. The catch is that 0-100 km/h stays 10.9 seconds, top speed stays 192 km/h and boot space remains 377 litres. For a Malaysian buyer, the older Mk1’s 5.4 L/100 km figure and same RM85 road tax make it the thriftier paper choice.
Pick the Renault Captur Mk1 if you want the lower price, better 5.4 L/100 km fuel use and the same 377-litre boot.
Pick the Renault Captur Mk1 Facelift if you want the stronger 120 hp and 205 Nm outputs without giving up the same size, warranty or RM85 road tax.
