Chevrolet Captiva all-wheel drive SUV: owner feedback and car specification

In 2006, at the Geneva Motor Show, the premiere of the relatively inexpensive and multifunctional SUV Chevrolet Captiva took place. The feedback from the owners is mostly enthusiastic, most characterize the car as passable, design-attractive and dynamic. This model is part of General Motors, it was delivered from Korea to Europe and looks like a massive SUV SUV. The name in English means "charming" or "conquering".

The look of this brand has turned out to be impressive, manly, and good dynamics, multifunctional exterior and modernity give the car additional advantages and excellent positions in this class. The design was designed by the Korean GM center - this is his main merit. Simplicity, elegance, power - these are the main characteristics of the interior of the Chevrolet Captiva. Reviews of the owners of this car in most positive: a spacious and reliable SUV.

Massive headlights only give the car a special gloss, confidence and swiftness. On the front fenders there are air intakes, the bottom at Captiva is finished with plastic, which is interrupted by a decorative gray insert on the bumper. On the side mirrors of the rear view there are repeaters of turn indicators, they are made using the latest technology Led. Violence and masculinity are attached to the massive wheel arches.

I was pleased with the internal exterior of Chevrolet Captiva. Reviews of the owners of the interior design is simply enthusiastic. Quality finishing harmoniously combined with modern materials. In the complete set of 3.2 liters. The salon is finished with natural leather, wood and high-quality plastic. As for ergonomics, it is quite understandable and simple.

Versatility of the model is complemented by three rows of comfortable seats, which can accommodate 7 people, including the driver. If you expand the rear seats, the seats will be doubled. If necessary, all of them can be folded, and you get a huge flat surface. The glass on the tailgate opens separately for the convenience of carrying oversized items.

The car is equipped with climate control and on-board computer, they are conveniently located on the central part of the console. A separate screen has an audio system. Particularly like the salon to women, because it literally scattered drawers and niches in which you can store a lot of things. What can I say - both external and internal look of Chevrolet Captiva at a high level.

Now let's talk about the technical characteristics and ease of movement Chevrolet Captiva. Reviews, as it turned out from the right holders, the most diverse. As for the 2.4 liter., Captiva with a five-stage MCP, it accelerates smoothly, confidently and maintains its dynamics. With the movement of special discomfort and aerodynamic noise is not observed, even with steep maneuvers the suspension keeps well, and there is no strong roll.

When descending automatically triggered a special function that holds the Chevrolet Captiva. Reviews of owners about this ultramodern car are positive, you can say enthusiastic. Absolutely everyone liked the following functions: stabilization of the trailer, a protective system from overheating of brake mechanisms and prevention from turning over. The second 3,5-liter Captiva with a five-speed automatic transmission and the option of a manual switch on the dynamics practically does not differ from the 2.4-liter. It was much heavier because of the engine and the box.

The main trump card, of course, is its attractive value. According to GM employees, the price for the car will start from $ 29,000, and an SUV with a seven-seat saloon will cost from $ 39,000. Indeed, the price bar is low enough for such a technically equipped Chevrolet Captiva. The reviews, as we were able to find out, are generally good. It should be noted that the car has 6 airbags, which are included in the standard equipment. It's not for nothing that GM corporation has great hopes for this improved model. In autumn it is planned to assemble Captiva at a Russian plant in St. Petersburg.
