Framed in an SUV category to more Juke Nissan, Peugeot 2008 and Renault Captur fight for leading its class. We analyze and measure 100 Diesel 110 hp version. What wins?

More and more … and more and more are also on the market. According to ANFAC data, with nearly 124,000 units sold, small SUVs and vans already managed to surpass 2016 registrations his older brothers, compact SUV. Even with a 35 percent growth, is the category Total market more has increased sales In our country. Every year come new unpublished models, and in this 2017 already announced new Seat Arona, Opel Crossland X, a new Hyundai, another model Kia possibly call Stonic, a possible VW Polo SUV… But still for many months will be the protagonists of this comparison the absolute leaders in the category. So get to see and analyze what interests you most.

If we must talk about a king now, that’s the Renault Captur (in the range and prices see link). With nearly 20,000 cars sold in 2016, it is the Total second SUV most successful … just behind the Nissan Qashqai, and growing every month: last December rose another 40 percent. Already behind the Peugeot 2008 it would place sixth overall best-selling SUV, and closes this trio the Nissan Juke, also in the top 10 of total sales. The three, together with a Opel Mokka X which is just renewed, fighting to dominate its segment. So we face in this battle of measurements to know which is better.

Nissan Juke dCi, 1.6 BlueHDi Peugeot 2008 and Renault Captur dCi: performance

Fruit of the Renault / Nissan alliance, two of our players share motor / change together, so more reason to match them and see which is better. So much Renault Captur and Nissan Juke mounted in this comparison engine Diesel 1.5 dCi 110 hp, in the two represents the top diesel engine, both with manual transmission 6 speed. Yes, the character of each car is completely different: the Captur bet more comfort rolling and softness control. While, the Juke represents the sportier choice of three, controls with harder, less sound and asphalt tared filtration and stiffer.

Alongside them we have today Peugeot 2008, possibly the most dynamically balanced between agility and comfort. And we Diesel 100 hp 1.6 BlueHDi, that it is precisely the engine speed range. Above cohabits one BlueHDi version 1.6 of 120 hp … but we do not consider more interesting: it costs 700 euros, not much improved performance and above is only available with the highest finishes Allure and GT Line. So even with 10 hp less, it is perfectly able to face them.

Analyzed and measured, it is of course the sports component of the Nissan Juke. Although the differences are not final between the three, Japan itself is the fastest, brakes forcefully and in return, I said, it is the most babbling. The Renault Captur, meanwhile, is very full, not failing in any section and complying very well in all measurements. He Peugeot 2008, lighter than his two rivals, He accuses her older mechanical weakness and ends up being the slowest, despite showing more than correct records. Yes yes braking penalizes both by touch and by far its two rivals and category average distances. Victoria here as for the Nissan Juke.

Nissan Juke dCi, 1.6 BlueHDi Peugeot 2008 and Renault Captur dCi: consumption

Enter and to assess the consumption section where, surprisingly, Yes many major differences are recorded than expected. In principle, three similar bodies and three engines not far, 1.5 liter and 110 hp the Juke and Captur, and 1.6 liter 100 HP that of a 2008 … unbeaten. Once again, and whether they are enough, Diesel engine 1.6 BlueHDi the French group PSA (Peugeot / Citroen) barre in efficiency. It happens in their segments with the Citroen C4 Cactus, the Peugeot 308, 3008, 2008 … and now this.

Outstanding in town, and without Stop / Start system andl Peugeot 2008 lowered to 0.7 l / 100 km to its two rivals, and roadside turns out to be the least consumed. Besides the engine, its nearly 70 kg less than Captur and Juke also play obviously in favor. Meanwhile, Captur and Juke are closer in values, especially urban, although the Captur road also ends up spending less than the Japanese SUV. Funny what a Juke that since mounted Stop / Start, we spend the same on city road. In consumption therefore clear victory of the Peugeot 2008.

Toca take the subway and check Which of these three small SUV offers better space and trunk. And, although none is born with character family car, the truth is that it must be solved largely needs. It is the case Renault Captur, the only one of its kind by the Mini Countryman, which features sliding rear row. And it’s not anecdotal. With it, you can have the Captur an almost identical trunk to its rivals with much more legroom (almost like a larger compact SUV) … or clearly have the largest trunk of the category ahead of the 2nd row and giving up a few centimeters of legroom. Fantastic.

He Juke Nissan, meanwhile, pays the sporting character we have already mentioned, and its riskiest and angular image. It is clearly the smallest, especially in width and back height, which is the most limited. In turn, the Peugeot 2008 is a good alternative, being behind the most width and height offers, but in possibilities to compete and leg space and luggage compartment with adjustable Renault Captur.

To choose which one is better need to set preferences for. If you want a versatile SUV, and what value most is the space and practical possibilities, The Captur is therefore your car. If you want a nice SUV, comfortable and friendly, and with the lowest possible consumption … then your car is the Peugeot 2008.
