As more and more cars keep getting introduced in the market’s current sweet spot, the mid SUV segment, it does become essential to know the variants inside out and understand the detailed comparison in order to make the right choice.

So, here’s one such comparison between the Renault Captur and the Nissan kicks.

Although both these cars share the same platform and are almost identical, there still remain to be notable changes in the design, features, performance and price ranges.

And hence the detailed comparison in these categories follows:

Design:

The Renault’s Captur is built on the B0 platform similar to the Renault Duster, and the while the Duster has a true SUV stance, the Captur is designed for a much more refined and an elegant look.

With its stooping lines, curves and edges, the Renault Captur exudes a European charm in its design, the appeal of which itself is rather subjective. The Renault Captur is essentially designed to be a crossover; however, it retains SUV’s sporty elements like the C-shaped LEDs, daytime running lights, swiping indicators, ripple effect tail lamps, contrast roof and 17-inch alloy wheels.

Renault also allows personalisation of every detail from chrome highlights to roof sticker.

On the inside too the Renault Captur has a very practical and ergonomic design with lots of personalisation options. The quilted leather seats, stylized dashboard, butterfly shaped instrument cluster with gold and silver detailing on the Platine range, enhance the cabin experience of the car, while providing enough room, head space and expandable boot space for added convenience for those long rides out of the city.

The Nissan Kicks with its robust Chassis and a rugged DNA, has a rather regular SUV stance.

While the seats and dashboard are leather lined for the premium look, the small glove box, the front centre arm rest, the dummy controls on the steering and the lack of a dead pedal do not offer a good driving experience from the driver’s seat. Instrument cluster is unsually large and has more than few hard plastics.

Nissan Infotainment
