“There’s a lot to recommend the Captiva Diesel. The engine is top class, the gearbox is slick and the interior comprehensively equipped. The generic aesthetics are saved by the front’s bold treatment and the seven-seat configuration, while compromised, deserves praise. Granted, the price tag isn’t exactly in the budget class. And while it is smart, [...]

Driven: Chevrolet Captiva 2.2D LTZ
“I vividly remember attending the launch of the Chevrolet Captiva in 2008, partly because it was one of the very first launches I attended back in the day, but also because the Chevrolet brand was still quite new in South Africa, especially in terms of SUVs. I tested both the 3.2 V6 LTZ and the [...]

Captiva-ting
“Chevrolet may have a problem on their hands. The recent introduction of the Hyundai iX35 and its brother from another mother, Kia Sportage, has left the Chevrolet Captiva looking a bit, well, bland. This problem has not gone unnoticed by the bigwigs at Chevy. First images of the all-new Captiva have been released to give [...]
