Among the Renault Clio, Peugeot 208 and similar models, versions SUV have done, definitely a important gap in our streets. It may seem that the design It has been enough to prevail in many cases the traditional utilitarian, but there are few features that make them more capable and urban models grateful, not for their added dynamic skills.

In the Peugeot 2008 and Renault Captur it may be that less are its off-road capabilities. Do not include four-wheel drive with which they do have some concrete rivals, but have a possible good solution for those looking for an SUV certain properties to live more safely on slippery surfaces moderately. According finishes mounted series M + S tire (As tested 2008; not Captur with specific tires asphalt) and traction control It is working with different laws of action (Grip Control calls and Extended Grip Peugeot, Renault), Depending on the surface on we shoot (asphalt, snow, mud and sand). Such configuration can astonish for its simple real effectiveness, not only theoretical, but we tested on the 2008 a apparent elongation of braking distances in dry asphalt, rather, but also perceived lower lateral grip under demanding driving.

You feel more agile steering to 2008, but not slow the Captur. Curves are not a problem for Renault, which supports confidently. They do not stop being smaller and lighter cars that can greatly facilitate its guidance. Bachman both gently and generally they respond in all situations in comfort and safety.

Peugeot 2008 and Renault Captur: height issue
