This is the Renault Captur, a new Clio-based SUV that's designed to steal sales from the Nissan Juke.

The Captur sits on the same chassis as the new Renault Clio, but it's slightly longer, at 4.12 metres, and sits a little taller in a bid to give drivers the more elevated seating position of a SUV.

The new car's front-end styling sticks closely to that of the Clio, which ushered in a new bolder family 'face' for Renault. However, the Captur gets a differently coloured roof that creates a sharp contrast, particularly from the side.

Renault claims the standard equipment list will be comparable with those of cars that are larger than the Captur; keyless entry, hill-start assist and rear parking sensors will be standard on all models.

No engine details have been released, although, given the Captur's underpinnings, they're likely to mirror those offered on the Clio. That would mean a choice of 1.2-litre four-cylinder or 0.9-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol units, although we'd expect the cleanest model – which Renault says will emit 96g/km of CO2 – to be one of the 1.5-litre, four-cylinder diesels.

Sorry, but that could be almost any manufacturers car these days. Looks a lot, at first glance, like that Vauxhall Mocca thing they're advertising currently.

Leaves me cold. Si. <This is my name.

I eat rat poison.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.

The t180 is to be avoided at all costs!!! They are shocking for ride, quality and reliability

Stick to a 1.8 petrol!

The Renault looks good but I'm not a fan of this two tone sh17 that's going on! What's wrong with a nice strong bonnatti grey colour  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

Yes, seems strange that people, some of them not French, still go into a car showroom and hand over many thousands for a new one.

Will probably have same running gear as Dacier Duster which are very popular in France and dirt cheap Mine was a blue one!
