The Renault Captur offers a range of fuel consumption figures depending on the model year, engine, and driving conditions. Recent owner-reported averages show that:
- The 2017 Renault Captur averages around 34.5 mpg[1].
- Earlier models, like the 2016 and 2014 versions, can achieve higher averages, up to 40.1 mpg and 39.3 mpg respectively, based on real-world driving data[1].
The E-Tech Hybrid versions of the Captur show notably improved fuel efficiency:
- The official WLTP (combined) figure for the full hybrid E-Tech is up to 65.7 mpg, while the Captur TCe 90 petrol scores about 47.9 mpg[8].
- Independent testing found real-world figures for the Captur Hybrid typically in the high 40s to low 50s mpg, with some motorway driving returning over 70 mpg. Average real-world mixed driving saw figures around 47–51 mpg[3][6].
- Fuel economy tests for the 2024 Captur E-Tech reported 5.6 L/100km (about 50.4 mpg) in everyday driving, with slight improvements likely as the vehicle runs in[7].
For diesel models, especially the 1.5 dCi variants, official consumption can reach as high as 76.3–78.5 mpg under optimal conditions, while real-world averages are typically lower[3][5].
Hybrid and plug-in hybrid options provide the best efficiency, particularly for drivers with frequent city journeys, due to their ability to run on electric power alone during low-speed conditions[6][8].
