Renault Captur 1.6 CVT 2020 costs R$ 71.5 thousand at Fipe, has 437 liters of trunk space, 120 hp, and a highway consumption of 11.7 km/l.
The Renault Captur Life 1.6 CVT 2020 has dropped to R$ 71,495 in the Fipe Table for September 2026, placing a 4,329 mm long SUV, with 437 liters of trunk space and an engine delivering up to 120 hp in a price range currently occupied by many used compact cars. The model still features an X-Tronic CVT automatic transmission, a 50-liter fuel tank, and an official fuel consumption of up to 11.7 km/l with gasoline on the highway.
According to Webmotors, the national average listed for the Captur Life 1.6 X-Tronic 2020 is approximately R$ 73.3 thousand, while the listings found on the platform range from R$ 58.9 thousand to R$ 78 thousand.
The combination of a price below R$ 80 thousand, a wheelbase of 2,673 mm, and ample cargo space helps to reposition the Renault SUV among options for families looking for space without resorting to much more expensive new models.

Renault Captur 2020 costs R$ 71,495 at Fipe in September 2026
The current price is the first figure that changes the perception of the used Captur. The Life 1.6 16V SCe Flex X-Tronic 2020 version is listed at R$ 71,495, after registering R$ 72,265 in August and R$ 72,392 in July. In just two months, therefore, the reference dropped by R$ 897.
On average, listings monitored by Webmotors show values just above the Fipe price, around R$ 73 thousand. The platform records examples between R$ 58,900 and R$ 78,000, a difference of over R$ 19 thousand between the extremes, highlighting the importance of considering mileage, history, location, and condition before comparing offers.
Interestingly, the Life version was sold in 2020 for R$ 69,990 before exemptions aimed at PCD (people with disabilities).
Directly comparing this nominal price with current values does not accurately reflect depreciation or appreciation, as it ignores more than six years of inflation, but it does illustrate how the Brazilian automotive market has shifted in scale during this period.
The 437-liter trunk is one of the strong selling points of the used Captur
Renault specified 437 liters of capacity for the Captur’s trunk, a figure that remains competitive even against many compact SUVs launched years later. For a family, that’s 437 liters available for luggage, shopping, a stroller, or other items without the immediate need to fold down the rear seats.
The rear seat features a foldable configuration, enhancing versatility when the vehicle has fewer passengers. The advantage lies in offering this space within a body that does not exceed 4.4 meters in length, maintaining manageable dimensions for parking spots and urban use.
In absolute terms, the Captur measures 4,329 mm in length, 1,813 mm in width (excluding mirrors), and 1,619 mm in height. Thus, the body occupies a considerable external area for a compact SUV and helps explain the visual perception of a vehicle larger than some direct competitors.
2.673-Meter Wheelbase Helps Explain Interior Space
The most important structural measurement for understanding the space allocated to occupants is the wheelbase. In this generation of the Captur, it measures 2,673 mm between the front and rear axles, which is a high number by the standards of compact SUVs of its time.
In official materials, Renault presented the Captur as having the largest wheelbase in its segment during that period. The manufacturer also highlighted its 4,329 mm length and 212 mm ground clearance as key dimensional attributes of the design.
The official classification from Inmetro was compact SUV, so the Captur should not be technically classified as a midsize SUV solely based on its visual size. Nonetheless, its dimensions help explain why it conveys the stature of a vehicle in a higher category compared to many smaller urban utility vehicles.
1.6 SCe Engine Delivers Up to 120 hp and 16.2 kgfm
Under the hood is the 1.6 SCe four-cylinder engine with 16 valves and 1,597 cm³, a naturally aspirated flex engine that develops 118 hp on gasoline and 120 hp when fueled with ethanol. The maximum power peak occurs at 5,500 rpm.
The maximum torque is 16.2 kgfm at 4,000 rpm with both fuels. Unlike modern small turbo engines that concentrate a large amount of torque at lower rpms, the SCe requires higher revolutions when the driver requests more intense acceleration.
However, the goal was never to turn the Captur 1.6 into a sports SUV. The setup was designed for urban commuting, travel, and family use, combining a familiar naturally aspirated engine with automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.
X-Tronic CVT Transmission Simulates Six Speeds
The transmission is the X-Tronic CVT, a continuously variable system that does not operate like a conventional six-speed automatic transmission. Renault noted the possibility of sequential shifts simulating six speeds, a feature used to replicate gear shifts in certain situations.
The CVT can continuously vary the transmission ratio, adapting the engine speed to the demands for acceleration and fuel efficiency. During relaxed driving, this allows the engine to remain in ranges more favorable for fuel consumption; when the accelerator is pressed hard, the system raises the revolutions to extract more power.
For buyers of a used Captur, the transmission maintenance history deserves special attention. The evaluation should consider smooth operation, the absence of abnormal noises, and proof of the services recommended by the manufacturer, avoiding making a purchase decision solely based on the advertised price.
Captur 1.6 CVT achieves up to 11.7 km/l with gasoline on the highway
Under the Brazilian Vehicle Labeling Program, the 1.6 SCe CVT recorded 10.5 km/l with gasoline in the city and 11.7 km/l on the highway. When using ethanol, the figures were 7.3 km/l in urban settings and 8.1 km/l on highways.
Renault recorded a D rating in the compact SUV category for the evaluated 1.6 CVT configuration. The manufacturer also emphasized that these numbers were obtained under standardized laboratory conditions and adjusted to approximate common usage situations, thus they did not constitute a promise of fuel consumption under all conditions.
Heavy traffic, speed, terrain, temperature, tires, load weight, and driving style significantly alter the results. Nevertheless, the figure of 11.7 km/l provides a concrete reference for those looking to calculate the potential cost of driving the Captur.
50-liter tank allows for nearly 585 km of theoretical range
The Captur’s tank holds 50 liters of fuel. Using the homologated 11.7 km/l figure with gasoline on the highway, a simple multiplication yields a theoretical range of approximately 585 kilometers when utilizing the full nominal capacity.
In the city, using the official 10.5 km/l figure, the same calculation results in about 525 kilometers. These numbers are merely for estimation, as a driver should not plan trips assuming they will use all the tank’s liters until completely depleted.
Used Captur below R$ 80,000 fills the void left by new SUVs
The current scenario changes the market perception of the Captur. For R$ 71,495 in the Fipe, the Life 1.6 CVT 2020 version is now far removed from the price ranges practiced by the latest zero-kilometer compact SUVs, all while maintaining family dimensions and automatic transmission.
More than just costing less than R$ 80,000, the model combines numbers that help explain its continued presence in the used market: 4.329 meters in length, 2.673 meters in wheelbase, 437 liters of trunk space, 50 liters of tank capacity, and up to 120 hp.
The pricing of listings also expands the choice margin. With examples listed below the Fipe itself, buyers can find units for under R$ 70,000, but substantial price differences require diligent inspection to differentiate a real opportunity from a car with accumulated maintenance issues or a problematic history.
Renault Captur 1.6 CVT combines family space with the price of a used compact
The Renault Captur Life 1.6 CVT 2020 arrives in September 2026 in a very different situation from when it was sold new. With a Fipe price of R$ 71,495 and an average listing price just above R$ 73,000, it has become an automatic SUV that comfortably fits into an R$ 80,000 budget.
The technical sheet explains much of its appeal. It includes 437 liters of trunk space, a 2.673-meter wheelbase, a length of 4.329 meters, a 212 mm ground clearance, a naturally aspirated 1.6 engine rated at up to 120 hp, and X-Tronic CVT transmission simulating six speeds.
The official consumption of up to 11.7 km/l on the highway with gasoline, combined with the 50-liter tank, provides an approximate theoretical range of 585 km. It is not an SUV aimed at high performance nor a luxury model, but the combination delivers ample body, luggage space, and interior capacity within a price range that is now very close to that of used compacts.
For those looking for an automatic used SUV for under R$ 80,000, the Captur 1.6 CVT is no longer just an alternative for its appearance. With a price of R$ 71,500, 437 liters of trunk space, and dimensions that surpass several compact utilities, the Renault becomes a family-friendly option that deserves consideration before making a purchase.
