Renault Captur (2013) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 11 June 2013 09:00

The new Renault Captur is based on the Clio supermini platform, but offers an elevated ride height and quasi-SUV looks. It's aiming to take a slice out of the fast-growing compact-crossover car market, but is it talented enough beneath the funky garnish? Read on for the full CAR verdict. What sort of first impression does the Renault Captur make? Were ...

Renault TwinRun hot hatch concept (2013) first official pictures

Rated 4 out of 54

Ollie Kew, 24 May 2013 12:30

Renault will show off this mid-engined supermini concept at the 2013 Monaco Grand prix race weekend. Called the TwinRun, the R5 Turbo-inspired creation is powered by a mid-mounted 3.5-litre V6, and will hit 155mph flat out. The TwinRun is the latest in a series of wacky Renault concept cars, following the Twizy RS F1 and Twin-Z supermini into the limelight. What's ...

Renaultsport Megane Red Bull Racing RB8 (2013) first pictures

Rated 1.5 out of 51.5

Ollie Kew, 21 May 2013 10:00

Five months after winning its third consecutive F1 constructor’s title, Red Bull has teamed up with F1 engine producer’s Renault to celebrate with a special hot hatch. It’s called (deep breath): Renault Megane Renaultsport Red Bull Racing RB8. Surely the engine supplier to the mighty Seb Vettel has upped power for this RS Megane? Nope. It’s still a 2.0-litre turbocharged ...

Renault Twizy RS F1 concept (2013) first official pictures

Rated 2 out of 52

Andy Downes, 25 April 2013 17:00

Renault has given the Twizy electric car a mad twist by bolting on an F1-style KERS system for Megane Renaultsport 265-worrying performance available for the very brave. The Twizy Renault Sport F1 Concept sits on single seater racing wheels, has an F1-apeing front splitter, side-pods, rear wing and even a rear diffuser to make the link to the racing side ...

Renault Twin-Z concept (2013) first official pictures

Rated 4 out of 54

Ollie Kew, 08 April 2013 11:30

This is the Renault Twin-Z concept (say it 'Twin-Zee'). Although it packs the usual concept car madness of suicide doors, a pared-back cabin and LEDs everywhere, it actually previews the look – and drivetrain – of the next Renault Twingo. The big news is that it'll be rear-engined, rear-drive, and offer an electric option for less money than the £13k Renault ...

Renault Zoe EV (2013) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Steve Moody, 28 March 2013 12:00

This is a massive launch: the new Zoe is an electric car Renault really needs to succeed, as it’s the tip of a four billion euro arrow, fired years ago by Carlos Ghosn. Certainly, it’s a cracking looking thing, with its cute, stubby looks and stylish, airy interior that is techy without being weird. But is it four billion well ...

Renaultsport Clio 200 Turbo (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 19 March 2013 09:00

This is the new Renaultsport Clio 200 Turbo, and for hot hatch fans it’s as controversial as the latest PDK-only Porsche 911 GT3. Out has gone the old RS Clio 200’s rev-hungry naturally aspirated 2.0-litre engine and manual gearbox, and in the pair’s place are a turbocharged 1.6 and dual-clutch transmission. Renaultsport is hoping the combination will appeal to a ...

Renaultsport Clio 200 RS (2013) full spec low-down

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 15 February 2013 11:00

The new Renaultsport Clio RS 200 Turbo is lighter, more powerful, faster and more economical than the outgoing car. It's also got a wealth of performance aids that wouldn't embarrass a Porsche 911 Turbo. Renault unveiled this new Clio RS 200 at the 2012 Paris motor show, but now it's released the full technical spec. Read on for the full details. Renaultsport ...

Renault Scenic XMOD (2013) first official pictures

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ollie Kew, 04 February 2013 11:20

This is the new Renault Scenic XMOD. Following the Kaptur compact-crossover, it's Renault's latest attempt to jump on partner Nissan's niche-building bandwagon. Replacing the regular Scenic MPV in the Renault range, the XMOD adds a dash of utilitarian crossover pretensions to the mumsy Scenic. The seven-seat Grand Scenic will remain, albeit with a facelift cribbed from the Scenic XMOD's look. So ...

Renault Captur (2013) finally to be unveiled at Geneva

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Jonathan Burn, 10 January 2013 09:00

Renault teased us earlier in the week with a single shady image of the new Captur - and here it is, fully revealed today in all its compact SUV splendour. Coming in the wake of the new Clio’s renewal, the Captur marks the next step-up in Renault’s design offensive. New stylist in chief Laurens van den Acker is rebooting La Regie's wardrobe ...
