Driving Impressions: Chevrolet Captiva 2.2D AWD LTZ
Dave the Car guy recently had our new diesel Captiva out for review, have a look what he thought of the updated SUV; “Chevrolet’s attractive facelifted Captiva had one glaring omission in its range – a much-needed diesel version. Now with a 2.2 diesel motor, does it fill the gap? It has taken awhile but [...]
Reaching for higher ground
“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, [...]

Add the fact it is of monocoque or unibody construction, and it is separated even further from those more [...]
Seven-card stud
“Buy a Chevrolet Captiva and you can be sure that you’re getting a lot of car for your money. Not only is it comfortable and spacious, but it offers seven seats. So if you’re looking for a budget-friendly SUV that can accommodate the whole family, the Chev is hard to beat If a vehicle wants [...]
Chevy’s captivating SUV
“The first thing you notice about the facelifted Chevrolet Captiva is exactly that — its facelift. You see, the Captiva’s redesign seems to have focused on the front of the mid-sized SUV, and the results are rather pleasing. The new dual-port grille features black honeycomb inserts, chrome surrounds and the distinctive Chevrolet logo set in [...]
