The new Captiva will be seen for the first time at the Paris Motor Show, sporting a new front end design, a range of enhancements to the interior and new engines and transmissions.
A number of features are immediately noticeable when viewing the new Captiva from the front: the re-shaped and sharply sculptured bonnet, a new larger grille and the Chevrolet 'bow-tie' sited proudly in the middle, prism style headlamps and integrated LED turn signals on the outside rearview mirrors. The side air-vents now take on a more angular shape to emphasize the new Captiva's sporting intent.
It's under the Captiva's bonnet that the most significant changes are taking place, with no less than three new powerful engines that will come as standard with a new manual or automatic six-speed transmission for a powerful, smooth drive. The new engine line-up comprised of one petrol engine (2.4L) and two turbo-diesel variants (2.2L). The new 2.2 litre common rail turbo-charged diesel units will be available with either 163 or 184hp outputs, while the 2.4-litre dual overhead cam gasoline unit with variable valve timing, is rated at 171hp.
The new Captiva's chassis has been re-tuned to further enhance vehicle dynamics, improving cornering, roll characteristics and ride feel. With Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Traction Control System (TCS) and Braking Assist System (BAS) standard, as well as front-, side- and curtain airbags, the Captiva provides a high level of safety. The new Captiva features Hill Start Assist, eliminating "roll-back" on hills and an electric park brake.
