The Renault Captur has received a sporty-looking new R.S. Line flagship for 2022, as well as more standard equipment on some models.
UPDATE, 02/06/2022 – Renault Australia has announced it’ll be doing a range-wide “price realignment” as of July 1, 2022. This is due to rising shipping costs and an increase in the price of raw materials.
Before on-road pricing for the Captur range is up between $850 and $1210. The 2022 Renault Captur range now starts at $31,300 before on-road costs.
Four models of the Captur are now available in Australia and prices for existing models were initially up by between $1300 and $1900, depending on the trim, after a previous price increase.
The range opens with the Captur Life at $31,300 before on-road costs, and is topped by the Captur R.S. Line that costs $40,800 before on-road costs.
The R.S. Line flagship trim gets sporty exterior and interior design enhancements, including a “Formula 1-inspired” front bumper, but no extra power. It follows the equally sporty-looking Arkana R.S. Line that joined the local range in March 2022.
Mid-range Zen and Intens models now also receive standard adaptive cruise control with stop/go. It was previously a $500 option.
The Captur is currently Renault’s most affordable vehicle in Australia, following the discontinuation of the Clio and Kadjar.
In 2021, Renault sold a total of 533 Captur models according to VFACTS. It was outsold by the likes of the related Nissan Juke (2362 sales), as well as the Toyota Yaris Cross (7828 sales), Volkswagen T-Cross (6104 sales), and Ford Puma (3218 sales).
All prices exclude on-road costs and go into effect from July 1, 2022.
Only one engine is offered across the 2022 Renault Captur range.
The 1.3-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine produces 113kW of power and 270Nm of torque.
It’s mated with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, with drive sent to the front wheels only.
Claimed fuel economy for the 2022 Renault Captur is 6.6L/100km on the combined cycle.
All models have a 48L fuel tank and require 95 RON premium unleaded petrol.
The 2022 Renault Captur measures 4227mm long, 1797mm wide and 1567mm tall, with a 2639mm wheelbase.
Boot space is 422L with the rear seats in place, 536L including under-floor storage and the rear bench slid forward, and 1275L with the rear seats folded flat.
The Captur is backed by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty and up to five years of 24/7 roadside assistance.
Servicing is required every 12 months or 30,000km, whichever comes first, and the first five are capped as follows:
Captur 1.3L turbo four-cylinder | |
---|---|
12 months/30,000km | $399 |
24 months/60,000km | $399 |
36 months/90,000km | $399 |
48 months/120,000km | $789 |
60 months/150,000km | $399 |

It scored 96 per cent for adult occupant protection, 83 per cent for child occupant protection, 75 per cent for vulnerable road user protection, and 74 per cent for safety assist.
