The new Chevrolet Captiva SUV will be
seen for the first time at the 2010 Paris Motor Show, sporting a new
front end design, a range of enhancements to the interior and new
engines and transmissions. Chevrolet Captiva will be one of four
Chevrolet world premieres.
Captiva is Chevrolet's
full-blooded sports SUV with confident and dynamic new styling and
active on-demand all-wheel drive system that distributes power as
needed.
At the same time the new Captiva
retains the advantages of its adaptable, theatre-style seating in
three rows which comfortably accommodates up to seven passengers.
The Chevrolet Captiva has won
many friends for its exterior design since its launch in 2006, and with
the new model it just got even better. A number of features are
immediately noticeable when viewing the new Captiva from the front,
adding up to its athletic stance: the re-shaped and sharply sculptured
hood, a new larger grille with its dual-opening and the Chevrolet
'bow-tie' sited proudly in the middle, and the prism style headlamps
and integrated LED turn signals on the outside rearview mirrors.
Moving round to the front
fenders, the side air-vents now take on a more angular shape to
emphasize the new Chevrolet Captiva's sporting intent, while from the A
pillars back the Captiva retains its handsome profile, characterized
by a sleek, rising shoulder line.
Setting the new Chevrolet
Captiva's body off perfectly are the new exterior color palette and the
accentuated wheel arches which will accommodate wheel sizes of 17 to
19 inches.
It's under the Chevrolet
Captiva's new hood that many changes are also taking place, with no
less than four new powerful engines that will come standard with a new
manual or automatic six-speed transmission for a powerful, smooth ride.
The new engine line-up, which is comprised of two gasoline engines
(2.4L and 3.0L) and two turbo-diesel variants (2.2L), incorporates a
host of advanced technologies aimed at delivering an optimal balance of
performance and fuel economy.
With the introduction of a new
3.0 liter 258 hp V6 gasoline engine with direct injection and variable
valve timing, the Captiva will be one of the most powerful compact SUVs
on the market, while the new 2.2 liter common rail turbo-charged
diesel units will be available with either 163 or 184 hp outputs.
Rounding off the new line-up is a 2.4 liter dual overhead cam gasoline
unit with variable valve timing, rated at 171 hp. Both, the 2.2 liter
turbo-diesels as well as the 2.4 liter gasoline engine can be ordered
in front- or all-wheel-drive configurations.
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 Chevrolet
Captiva provides a high level of safety.
Climb aboard the new Chevrolet
Captiva and driver and passengers will still be welcomed by that airy
and spacious interior, with storage space that is among best in class
and with the option of either 5 or 7 seats.
The Chevrolet Captiva's
upgraded interior now features an array of new finishes and textures
including all-new seat fabrics and interior décor appointments to give
the car a more up-market feel and look. Designers have put to good use
some of the elements featured on other new Chevrolet models, such as
the ice-blue back lighting and the 'wrap-round' design of the front fascia which flows into the front driver's and passenger doors creating the dual-cockpit look.
The new Captiva features Hill
Start Assist, eliminating "roll-back" on hills and an electric park
brake that opens up space for further storage in the center console,
including two 1-liter cup holders.
The new Chevrolet Captiva's
audio system includes Aux-in, USB-port and Bluetooth connectivity.
Passengers will enjoy their audio experience all the more thanks to
improved acoustic engineering resulting in reduced road, wind and
engine noise. Captiva can be ordered with a touch-screen navigation
system with rear view camera for parking assistance.
Chevrolet Captiva offers a lot
of SUV for its price: powerful, yet efficient engines, all-wheel drive
capabilities, roominess and versatility for up to seven passengers. Its
launch in Europe is scheduled for spring 2011.
