![]() In terms of safety, all trim levels come with ABS with EBD and dual front airbag. The top-spec W10 variants also get keyless entry and go, an electric sunroof and a six-way adjustable, powered driver’s seat. The XUV500’s interiors are dual-tone beige and black, and feature aluminium pedals, blue backlighting and a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system (that doubles as a rear-view camera). The Compass gets ABS, ESP, Panic Brake Assist, Hydraulic Booster Failure Compensation, Electronic Roll Mitigation (essential in the US), Electronic Brake Pre-fill and six airbags. FCA hasn’t skimped on safety features though. While you do get the ‘luxury car’ vibe from the Compass, there is some essential kit missing in the form of cruise control, a sunroof, auto-dimming mirror and auto headlights and wipers. ![]() However, there are a few not-so-nice bits of hard and shiny plastic. Jeep has fitted the Compass’ cabin with soft-feel textures, supple leather and some chrome-finished bits. The Creta gets ABS with EBD, two airbags for all variants except the top-spec that gets four, and ESC and hill-start assist for the top-spec automatic. The quality of plastics used is good, and so is that of the switchgear. You get a touchscreen infotainment system, rear camera, projector headlamps with LED DRLs and cornering lamps, etc. The Creta, in typical Hyundai style, is well-kitted. The international car features several bits borrowed from the Duster, though some aspects of the design such as the instrument cluster are expected to be different. The infotainment system is expected to be the same 7.0-inch touchscreen unit found in the Duster. The Captur will get LED headlights with LED DRLs. ![]() The Renault Captur will get a two-tone dash and dual-tone interiors. This is the second-smallest car in this spec comparison following the Creta. The Captur is likely to come with either 16- or 17-inch wheels. A contrast-coloured roof will be available as an option. SUV styling cues comes in the form of all-round body cladding, massive, flared wheel arches, muscular bumpers and high ground clearance. Wrap-around headlights lead to a rising shoulder line that culminates way up top in a roof-mounted spoiler. The Renault Captur, unlike traditional SUVs, features a flowing design as opposed to a boxy one. Does it, however, stack up well against its rivals? Find out here. The Captur is based on the same platform as the Duster – in fact, it uses the same powertrain too – but looks radically different, is more spacious and is better equipped. ![]() The Hyundai Creta and Jeep Compass are already entrenched in this segment, but Renault isn't dissuaded by that. ![]() The Captur is Renault's take on a premium small SUV, and is good-looking, comfortable and well-equipped for the discerning urban buyer. The standard-fit autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system performed well in tests of its functionality at the low speeds at which many whiplash injuries occur, with collisions avoided in most test scenarios.Renault has launched its Captur at Rs 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). A geometric assessment of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. Even in the more severe side pole test, protection of the chest was adequate and that of other body regions was good. In the side barrier impact, protection of all critical body areas was good and the car scored full points in this test. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection was good or adequate for all critical body areas, both for the driver and the rear passenger. Protection was rated as good for all critical body areas for the passenger. Renault showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger. The passenger compartment of the Captur remained stable in the frontal offset test. ![]()
