Choosing between these two Renaults comes down to practicality and how you load your cargo. The Renault Captur has a bigger boot than the Renault Clio, as well as more room with the back seats folded. Loading items into the Captur is made simpler by having no boot load lip and rear seats that fold completely flat, whereas the Clio has a high load lip and leaves a prominent ridge in the floor when the seats are down. Both models share a few drawbacks in the back: neither has a folding rear armrest or rear cupholders, and carrying three adults across the rear bench will be a struggle in either car. Fitting a child seat brings different experiences, as the Clio features easy-to-access ISOFIX anchor points behind plastic caps, while the Captur’s unzipping covers and hidden anchors make fitting one fiddly. For adaptive cruise control, both require you to pick the top-spec Esprit Alpine model.
