We checked after a random 164km of mostly hilly and vigorous driving, and found a 7.2 average, which began to drop as we slowed round town and in Eco.Īs an aside, and given recent petrol price rises, the Captur’s on-board computer encourages you to get competitive with your own fuel-frugal performance. Hit the Eco button down by the gear lever, and it relaxes – no doubt it was on ‘eco’ when it achieved its 5.4l/100 official consumption figure. It feels eager off the line, energetic at any legal speed, and though the gearbox sometimes changes up or down when you may be happy with lower revs, that does make it an engagingly lively performer. So Captur gets a perky 1.2-litre turbo that percolates along very well when mated to this six-speed dual clutch transmission.
Over there, many countries levy tax disincentives to buy big motors, not to mention the likes of congestion charges set with cutting both fuel use and emissions pollution in mind. It’s certainly striking, especially in this eyeball-flaming colour with the contrast black roof and the black and chrome ‘body kit’ elements – though those side steps are an option we’d do without, at $1200 plus fitting, plus GST.Įurope plays a great game when it comes to looks and character in small cars, and fields some pretty good small engines, too.
