The Renault is based on the Clio while the 2008 is a beefier version of \u00a0Peugeot\u2019s 208.<\/p>\n<p><b>Who is it aimed at?<\/b> If you are after practical family transport with a go anywhere appearance outside and a bit more space inside then one of these urban crossovers just might be the car for you.<\/p>\n<p><b>Styling?<\/b> Pronounced \u2018capture\u2019 Renault\u2019s new Captur is essentially a Clio on steroids, with chunkier SUV styling it shares styling features with its smaller sibling including a wide black grille and sharper\u00a0 and more aggressive-looking headlights. Similarly conceived the Peugeot 2008 is based on the\u00a0award winning 208 but is higher, longer and wider than its hatchback sibling. With smart styling and numerous personalisation options the Captur is a real head turner and makes the conservative styling of the 2008 almost dull by comparison.<\/p>\n<p><b>Under the Bonnet:<\/b> Our Peugeot test car was powered by\u00a0 a\u00a0 1.4-litre diesel. There is plenty of power for city driving but when overtaking it lacks some punch and its noisy with quite a bit of road and wind intrusion. \u00a0Other options include a 1.2 petrol or two 1.6 diesel units. Under the bonnet\u00a0 of the Captur lurks either a 1.4-litre diesel or a tiny 898cc petrol engine. Our test car was the petrol version and on the road its surprisingly good .<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6718\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/peugeot2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6718\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6718\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/peugeot2.jpg\" alt=\"Peugeot 2008\" width=\"400\" height=\"306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/peugeot2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/peugeot2-300x229.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6718\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Peugeot 2008<\/p><\/div>\n<p><b>What about Inside?<\/b> Behind the wheel there is great view in both thank to the raised driving position. Inside the 2008 the chic styling from the 208 is carried over and it is spacious, comfortable and very plush. The boot is larger than the 208 with all seats in place but it can stretch to 1,193 litres with the seats folded. In the Captur funky is the buzzword and there are some really nice details and clever touches. Families with small children will love the zip off seat covers that you can remove and wash and features like the sliding rear seat will only add to the appeal of this car. The quality of the 2008 is better throughout but for sheer quirkiness we preferred the unique styling of the Captur.<\/p>\n<p><b>On the Road?<\/b> \u00a0The Captur is good around the city, while the spaciousness and high driving position gives the impression of a larger car its compact proportions make it perfect for zipping around town and you can park it just about anywhere. The light steering makes easy work of city\u00a0manoeuvres. Negotiating the urban jungle it soon becomes apparent Peugeot\u2019s 2008 is neat and nimble. It is good to drive, there is little body roll on corners and it\u2019s very easy to manoeuvre. Both cars are set up for comfort rather than sport but they are engaging to drive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And Safety?<\/strong> The Renault Captur scored a max of five stars when it was tested by the EuroNCAP and\u00a0 has a\u00a0 variety of adult, child and pedestrian safety options. There\u2019s no Euro NCAP rating for the 2008 yet but there\u2019s no reason to think it won\u2019t achieve five stars. It\u00a0 comes well equipped with ESP, 6 airbags, child safety locks and cruise control-speed limiter as standard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Options?<\/strong>\u00a0 Two trim\u00a0 are available on the Captur,\u00a0 Life and Intense. There is also a long list of personalisation options including a contrasting roof. Three versions of the 2008 are offered, Access, Active and Allure. \u00a0Like the Renault Captur, the 2008 does not have four-wheel drive but it does however come with an optional grip control system that can be fitted on Allure models For an extra \u20ac255. This system gives you maximum traction on slippery or muddy conditions so it is a very credible alternative to traditional 4WD systems.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6719\" style=\"width: 412px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Renault_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6719\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6719\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Renault_2.jpg\" alt=\"Renault Captur\" width=\"402\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Renault_2.jpg 402w, https:\/\/www.wheelsforwomen.ie\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Renault_2-300x292.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 402px) 100vw, 402px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6719\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Renault Captur<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>What about fuel economy?\u00a0<\/strong> The Peugeot 2008 delivers an excellent 4\u00a0litres per 100 kms (70.6 mpg) on combined driving of motorway and city while the tiny little petrol engine \u00a0in the Captur manages 5 litres per 100 kms (56.5) over the same roads. Co2 emissions are 104 and 115 g\/km respectively so motor tax is \u00a0\u20ac190 for the 2008 and \u20ac200 for the Captur.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Okay so the Verdict?<\/strong> Both cars combine space, style and practicality and you will not be disappointed with either. The Captur is a very tempting proposition if you\u2019re looking for a stylish car with attitude that delivers economical driving on a budget while Peugeot\u2019s 2008 has a very chic interior and good handling. The 2008 just nudges ahead in our opinion. \u00a0\u00a0Overall it\u2019s better to drive and with the option\u00a0 of grip control it&#8217;s the \u00a0more practical of the two.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" width=\"475\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<colgroup>\n<col width=\"160\" \/>\n<col width=\"156\" \/>\n<col width=\"159\" \/> <\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"160\" height=\"20\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"156\"><strong>Peugeot 2008<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"159\"><strong>Renault Captur<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\"><\/td>\n<td>Active 1.4 HDi 5dr<\/td>\n<td>Intense Tce 90 S&amp;S<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\">No of Doors<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\">No of Seats<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\">Price Range<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac18,595 &#8211; \u20ac23,945<\/td>\n<td>\u20ac19,390- \u20ac22,490<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\">Euro NCAP &#8211; Overall<\/td>\n<td>Not tested Yet<\/td>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\">Engine Size cc<\/td>\n<td>1398<\/td>\n<td>898<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\">Power bhp<\/td>\n<td>68@4000<\/td>\n<td>90@5250<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\">Torque Nms<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\">Fuel type<\/td>\n<td>Diesel<\/td>\n<td>Petrol<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\">Combined MPG<\/td>\n<td>70.6<\/td>\n<td>56.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\">CO2 Emissions (g\/km)<\/td>\n<td>104<\/td>\n<td>113<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\">Max. speed<\/td>\n<td>99<\/td>\n<td>106<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\">0-100 kph<\/td>\n<td>14.9<\/td>\n<td>13.1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\">Boot capacity<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\">Seats Up (litres)<\/td>\n<td>360<\/td>\n<td>377<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\">Seats Down (litres)<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>1235<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\">Length (mm)<\/td>\n<td>4159<\/td>\n<td>4122<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\">Width (mm)<\/td>\n<td>1829<\/td>\n<td>1778<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\">Height (mm)<\/td>\n<td>1556<\/td>\n<td>1566<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"20\">Wheelbase (mm)<\/td>\n<td>2538<\/td>\n<td>2606<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more information<\/p>\n<p>on the Captur check out\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.renault.ie\">Renault Ireland\u00a0<\/a>or the \u00a0Renault Ireland<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/renaultireland?fref=ts\">\u00a0Facebook\u00a0<\/a>page.<br \/>\non the 2008<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>check out\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/peugeot.ie\/\" target=\"_blank\">peugeot.ie<\/a>\u00a0or the Peugeot Ireland\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Peugeot-Ireland\/120404616528\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0page.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Geraldine Herbert<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>9th October, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Small in stature but big on space the Urban Crossover has been steadily gaining fans since Nissan launched the Juke in 2009.\u00a0 We test drive two recent French arrivals, the Peugeot 2008 and Renault\u2019s Captur What is it?
