The Chevrolet Captiva was the Koreans’ new weapon in their attempt to conquer the European market in the compact SUV class.
Despite its American badge, the Captiva was actually made in Korea and one of its strongest points was the attractive price.
Having a large size of 4.63 m long, the Captiva featured a giant wheelbase that offered a spacious interior that could accommodate up to 7 occupants.
Inside, the cabin was cheerful and built with good quality materials. The standard equipment offered represented a good choice.
Access to the third row was easy with the bench that folded up, while the seats in the third row could be extracted from the floor by just one gesture.
The Captiva was mostly designed for larger families’ trips, as it was not in its element in the city. The SUV was fairly wide and felt uncomfortable in narrow alleys, and rather lazy under 1,7000 rpm.
In 2006, the Chevrolet Captiva was available in 3 trim levels: LS, LT and LT Special Model.
Even in the entry level version, the Captiva was well equipped with air-conditioning, power steering, power and heated exterior mirrors, speed sensitive windscreen wipers, electric windows, vanity mirrors, a tailgate glass that could be opened separately and tinted windows.
The base LS was equipped with a 2.4-liter gasoline engine and was available with a front-wheel-drive system.
Another engine option was the 2.0-lite diesel unit that developed 150 hp, enough power to move the 2 tons SUV without making it feel underpowered.
