Welcome to the Captiva. The Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) from Chevrolet that offers style and flexibility. The economical alternative that carries up to seven people in comfort, yet is an absolute pleasure to drive. The big car with an eye for the small details. Let’s go.

The Captiva introduces you to a different world. On the outside, strong, sporty looks that turn heads. On the inside, it’s designed to carry plenty of luggage comfortably. Add a choice of 5-seater or 7-seater versions and a range of refined engines, including a sophisticated and economical diesel option, and you’ll begin to understand why it’s one of the most practical cars money can buy. Especially when its optimum road holding and handling characteristics ensure a quiet, relaxing ride wherever your journey takes you. Come aboard and find out how captivating the world can be.

The Captiva is designed to be both attractive and practical. The car is instantly recognisable by its prominent wheel arches, the sharp fold line that runs along the side and the dynamic roofl ine curve. Look closer and you’ll notice superb details like the protective silver-effect skid plates at the base of the bumpers and the contemporary headlight clusters. Then there are the fog lamps, aesthetically designed air vents, indicators incorporated into the rear-view mirrors, chromed tail pipes and charcoal roof rails. All of which make the Captiva much more than just a SUV.

The world inside the Captiva is just as attractive as the world outside. This is a welcome new world of space and ergonomic design that gives you, your family and your friends room to travel in comfort. Innovative use of space gives ample passenger room, using three rows of seats in the 7-seater version. High quality upholstery, a charcoal and brushed aluminium door finish and a sophisticated console make it appealing and relaxing. LTX models feature leather interior, heated seats and climate control as standard. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy the ride.

To onlookers, the Captiva is a big, stylish SUV. In the driving seat, it feels and drives like a luxury car with the added advantage of a great all-round view. Think a black and brushed aluminium-look dashboard. Add a fully adjustable steering wheel with integrated audio remote control and cruise control. Adjust the driver’s seat, tweak the electro-chromatic rear-view mirror and experience the stereo system’s 8 speakers, RDS FM/AM radio and 6-CD auto-changer with MP3 player jack. And don’t forget the driver trip computer with valuable feedback like average fuel consumption and speed, remaining range and compass. Driving has never been more pleasurable.

Few cars on the road offer as much flexibility as the Captiva. One day, you might want to carry six little football players to a big game or take the family to the beach. The next you may need to adjust the 60/40 foldable rear seats or even fold the seats down completely to give a huge 1,565 litres of luggage space. Then there are the innovative details that make the Captiva so practical. Like the floor-mounted load restraining net or five integrated storage boxes in the luggage compartment of the 5-seater version, the handy compartments in the front and rear armrests, and the opening glass window in the tailgate. Whatever you want to do, you can with the Captiva. And thanks to the electronic climate control, you and your passengers will always be doing it in comfort.

The Captiva offers a unique combination of power, acceleration and economy with a choice of responsive engines. The 2.4 litre DOHC unit delivers 100 kW (136 PS) at 5,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 220 Nm at 2,000 rpm. A powerful, yet frugal alternative is the 2.0 litre turbo diesel. This 16-valve engine delivers 110 kW (150 PS) at 4,000 rpm, a maximum torque of 320 Nm at 2,000 rpm. So take your pick – and let the generous reserves of power take you to faraway places.

Wherever you want to take your family and friends, it’s reassuring to know that the Captiva is as strong as it looks. A solid steel safety cage with impact absorption zones provides an extremely rigid safety zone. Front, side and curtain airbags are standard on all Captiva models. For active safety, Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) maximise control in all road conditions. And for yet more safety and control, the ESC includes Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA), Descent Control System (DCS) and Active-Rollover Protection (ARP). Level Ride Suspension is standard on all models. So there really is nothing stopping you and your family getting there safely.
