THE PROBLEM WITH being at the
top of your game is that there’s
always someone trying to topple
you. Take the Ford Puma. Despite
winning our overall Car of the Year
gong in January, there’s already
a brand new Renault Captur
gunning for it.
The original Captur was a smash
hit, thanks to funky looks, a clever
interior and keen pricing, and
this second-generation version
promises all of those attributes
but with a bit more polish. We’ve
got our hands on an entry-level
TCe 100 in mid-rung Iconic trim,
which costs well under £20,000.
Because of the Captur’s bargain
price, we’ve lined up a Puma in
Tall for their age
COMPARISON
Ford Puma
1.0 Ecoboost 125 mHEV Titanium
List price £20,845
Target Price £19,916
The top-spec Puma is our Car
of the Year; can the entry-level
model impress us just as much?
Renault Captur
TCe 100 Iconic
List price £19,095
Target Price £18,548
Based on the Clio, the second-
generation Captur has clever
rear seats and a keen price.
Skoda Kamiq
1.0 TSI 115 SE
List price £19,935
Target Price £17,421
Roomy, comfortable and good
value, the Kamiq is a strong
contender in mid-range guise.
