Quiet and refined Chevy Captiva

The entry level Captiva is a front-wheel drive 2.4-litre four-cylinder DOHC engine, which delivers 89kW of power. Two all-wheel drive engines are available in 2.0-litre four-cylinder SOHC diesel (producing 82kW) and 3.2-litre V6 petrol (producing 126kW) engines. A five-speed manual transmission is available in the 2.0-litre and 2.4-litre engines, while five-speed automatic transmission is available with the 3.2-litre Chevy SUV. In the Captiva, all-wheel drive engages only when the system senses that two wheels are not providing optimal traction; in which case an electronic clutch automatically brings added torque to the drivetrain. Hydraulic Brake Assist and an Electronic Stability Programme also support wheel grip.

Luxury exterior features in the Captiva SUV include satin silver roof rails, large alloy wheels, heated and power-adjustable mirrors and a front fog lamp. In the Chevy V6 the door handles are finished with sleek chrome, a tilt-sliding power sunroof provides fresh air and the mirrors fold electrically.

Standard interior features across the range include a tilt telescopic steering column, power windows, Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and an Anti-lock Brake System (ABS). Features in the middle-of-the-range LW AWD model include an eight-speaker audio system, automatic climate control and driver, passenger and roof airbags. The Captiva Driver Information Centre, which is standard across the range, provides temperature, fuel consumption, speed and fuel readings as well as directional information (satellite navigation) via the centre console.

Understated and elegant, the Chevy Captiva has functional dials in a comfortable interior that hosts climate control and MP3 compatibility. As secure in the city as it is off-road, the Captiva supports adventurers via its traction and braking technology, such that it maintains its centre of gravity and is able to negotiate tricky surfaces without endangering passengers. Overall, the Captiva price offers value for money, particularly against four-wheel drive diesel SUV and crossover off-road vehicles that offer fewer standard features.

Choose from the 2.0-litre diesel, 2.4-litre DOHC or 3.2-litre V6 and enjoy the Captiva’s rugged elegance off-road, which you can control by selecting any one of the all-wheel drive, front-wheel drive, 2x4 or 4x4 Captiva models. With seven seats and plenty of safety appointments, these SUV cars have room enough to safely transport your family in comfort and with peace of mind.
