Skoda Kamiq and Renault Captur are two new B-crossovers on the market. The Skoda Kamiq is new to the game, and the Renault Captur is the market leader. Both are based on regular superminis - Skoda Scala (Skoda claims this is a compact model), and Renault Clio. Which is the better crossover, and what to look out for, when buying one?

For my money I want a car that is economical & reliable & they can shove all the video game screens as I will take a simple button over a plethora of interactive steps that remind me just how distracted other drivers are instead of actually driving. My choice would be the Kamiq for it's sensible design & functionality.

@tzuamourshihtzu9871 3 года назад

The only thing that makes me sway slightly more for the capture is that fantastically handy 360 camera, I have mobility issues so not having to twist and turn all the time will be very convenient for me HOWEVER I do wish they had the electronic tailgate 😭 still debating between the 2 but I think it’s going to be the Renault. Does anyone know if the automatic Renault is still as good as the manual?

@jjwoody6532 Год назад

Loved the both but found the fixed height Captur's passenger seat harder to get into with out hitting your head. We test drove both cars found the 1.5 ltr 4cy engine in the Kamiq went just as well as the Captur and the Skoda feels better built, has more internal room and we found it to be more comfortable. On looks the Captur. On the drive experience, the Kamiq. Both very good but the one we found would be easier to live with was the Kamiq.

@gianlucahead5397 5 месяцев назад

In my opinion the design of the Skoda Kamiq is more sober therefore timeless. Is going to looks decent even in 5 years time. The design of the capture is already looking obsolete compared to their new renault models. The Capture, I drive one, is cheap. Fully hard plastic on all of the doors, and no space at the back for passengers taller than 1,75cm. If I could choice, I would pick the kamiq. No brainer. Great video man

@candyman3108 4 года назад

I drove the new Skoda Kamiq for almost a week, didn't had a chance to drive the new Captur yet. Purely based on my opinion, I think a mid-spec'd Kamiq is a better bet. The ride was very good, sound insolation also, and the 1.0 TSI with 115 HP was decent. However, it might not pursuade younger audience with the "classical" approach to the interior (compare that to the new Pug 2008 or Captur and you'll know what I mean by this). All in all, If I was in the market for a B-Segment crossover, I would consider the Kamiq for the best mix of value, equipment and substance.

@Tonytruand09 4 года назад

I had the new captur, the kamiq and the 2008 on my shortlist, but had to drop the 2008 off because of the dated infotainment screen and software......... What a shame............... I really like it outside design but as i will spend a lot of time inside, this system is one of my top priorities. Also the 2008's boot is the least practical.

Despite Skoda is more practical and rational choice (sound proofing), I still vote for Renault. For my taste a car must provide some emotions to you, that's why I have chosen Civic instead Golf despite Golf is more rational choice.

I own new Civic too. But Civic is quality. And Renault is just a 💩 plastic. You can’t compare good quality Skoda with Renault. Sorry.

@Tonytruand09 4 года назад

Thanks for the comparison! They happen to be the 2 cars i am hesitating between... Budjet wise, i am looking at the Initial Paris finish for the Renault, and the Style finish for the Kamiq. But I have a question: I really like the white trim for the seats and couldn't configure it on the Kamiq in the Netherlands... Is that country dependant? Thanks

@MarekDrives 4 года назад

It could be market specific or taking into account the pandemic, there may be some limitations as far as configuring cars is concerned.

@Stevieboy130664 3 года назад

I am leasing a Kamiq here in the UK though I won't get the car until later in the year. Reasons I picked it: roomy, quite refined and well built and £200 a month. Plus if I want fun when I drive i have my old Porsche sportscar for high days and holidays.

@NapoleonDynamites 4 года назад

If you're not reviewing any cars for a while it would be fun for you to do a video where you build your own car/crossover. Take all the best features from every car you reviewed over that last year to come up with the perfect car.

Good one. I'll keep that in mind for the near future.

@nikolaidiqnov6801 4 года назад

In this class and price I am thinking of buying the Renault. The Kamiq is allright but it is too ordinary. The 2008 looks really appealing but what bothers me is the position of the steering wheel. Its upper part gets in the line of sight. The Renault seems to be the perfect combination between style and function.

@DonDixit 4 года назад

Marek, as to 'most will buy lower trim' ..... definitely not. As with most SUV / CO pundits, >60% of Renault Captur buyers opt the 2 most expensive versions. Other than that, this quality comparison test - in trademark MD brilliance - brought tears of joy.

@awesomemike-4411 4 года назад

Hi Marek! Hope you are having a great week! Would you recommend the 1.5 tsi in the Kamiq in the Style trim? I would not mind slightly more litres per 100 km, since i do not (yet) trust the 3 cylinder and i like a little punchier engine and more performance. The captur looks great, but i fear Renault's reliability.

@MarekDrives 4 года назад

AFAIR I haven't driven any car with the 1.5 TSI engine since Mk7 FL Golf launch event a couple of years ago. I don't know if/what software tweaks were made since then.

@cmartin_ok 4 года назад

I've had a 2014 Captur from new and apart from the occasional software glitch, no issues. I had a Skoda Octavia 1.5TSI as a hire car in Scotland last year (automatic) and was so impressed I was hoping to get one as my next car (I need something a bit larger than the Captur now). So I'd say no worries over buying either of these 2

@Waechter_im_All 4 года назад

Hi Marek I really DO like your videos. Above all your distinguished kind of humor. On your final question: I'd prefer the Kamiq's technics with the Capture's tin around it. Means: The Skoda is probably the better car, but the Renault beyond all doubt the prettier one. Technical question to you: Why do the LED Headlights flicker sometimes and sometimes they don't? Stay brave! Stay well!

@MarekDrives 4 года назад

Thanks! Flickering LEDs have to do with camera frame rate. In some cases I can adjust the frame rate manually to fix the issue, but in the Kamiq there seemed to be no good camera setting. Or I would get flickering on the Captur :)

@F-MK96 Год назад

All the stuff about renault infotainment and the driving asisstance is corrected now... they did alot of updates since launch and finaly its better and stable but when I got my clio (which is same as captur in terms of tech) it was bad...

@RobbertHoek 2 года назад

Thank you Marek! Having driven the new Captur with the 145 hybrid setup i found the entire car to work very well, i really like the hybrid system but the issue that i had was with the seats in the captur. they are too narrow at the shoulders, it gave some strange pressure at my shoulder blades which wasnt painfull or anything but it just felt weird. which is a real shame because the rest of the car suited me really well. I expect the Kamiq to suit me better when it comes to the seats and with the 1.5 engine it should be a good car to drive on longer journeys, im planning to testdrive one soon

@MarekDrivesENG 2 года назад

Since I recorded this review, I have also driven the Captur E-Tech. It was during the winter (something like -10 degrees Celsius), and a transmission error popped up on the dash (Risk of Transmission Damage). The solution (from Renault) was to turn everything off, lock the car, and wait a couple of minutes for the computer to reset itself, but this doesn't inspire confidence. Apparently the PHEV doesn't do well in low temperatures.

@UTopia-eg7gm 3 года назад

Hands down; I’d chose the Renault Captur. More beautiful, more comfortable, better pricing, nicer interior, four cilinder engine (1.3), and very reliable (yes it is!)

@enginbilgun975 4 года назад

Hi Marek What about interior material and build quality? I guess Kamiq leads there I will order it Thanks

@freedomandjustice 2 года назад

What is the difference in riding hight? The idea with this segment is to give you an SUV-like feeling, but I heard Kamiq had a seating hight of a hatchback. The Captur is taller on paper at least, but how it translates in seating hight?

@MarekDrives 2 года назад

Depends on the hatchback. I recently sat in the Fiat Tipo, where I had to pump the seat up. In the Ford Focus on the other hand I always feel I'm sitting too high.

Kamiq offers a lot more on Basic editions. Renault's basic editions are too basic! You have to pay a lot to add them. So, at the same price, I believe Kamiq offers a lot more. Let's say with 20-21k Euros, you get a way better car if you select the Kamiq.

Captur was really cramped for me. And the bench, when moved forward for more boot, means that NOBODY can sit in the back seats. Also some of the plastics in the floor get in the way of your feet, especially when exiting the car. IMHO they did great with the exterior design, but really dropped the ball on the interior. Kamiq on the other hand had to be made "artificially" smaller, because otherwise it would outcompete Karoq. It makes no sense to me that Scala has a bigger boot then Kamiq, yet they are virtually the same car. An SUV is supposed to be more practical car shape :)
