  All-new Chevrolet Captiva Features Strong, Expressive Design Cues  
 
 
     
 

Chevrolet’s designers have got the all-new Captiva’s styling spot on with its expressive, sleek design, striking features and an attractive interior.

At the front of the vehicle, there's a boldly contoured engine hood with dynamic crease lines running from the radiator grille obliquely back to the A-pillars, with Chevrolet’s bow-tie emblem prominently placed on the cross bar of the grille.Large jewelled headlamps with clear glass covers give the vehicle a bold, contemporary look while generously sized outside mirrors with large bases and optional integrated turn signal lamps offer the driver clear rear view visibility.

The front fascia is also augmented with honeycomb style inlets and air intake ports in the front fenders and integrated round fog lamps integrated into the bumper.

The profile is encapsulated by several striking stylistic elements. A pronounced crease line rises to the rear complementing the dramatic bold wheel arches and protective exterior mouldings. High-grade details like a chrome strip at the bottom edge of the windows, a turn signal lamp integrated into the outside mirrors (optional in LS) in addition to front and side air intakes that add to the Captiva’s over-all modern design and dynamism.

The coupe-like shape of the rear window, concave design above the rear wheel arches and large wheels give the Captiva a sleek modern look with an adventurous edge.

At the rear, the Captiva is characterised by a large split tailgate with a tailgate glass that opens separately in addition to large vertical tail lamps, indicators and reversing lamps, all of which are designed as a central circular element.Adding to the impression of versatility, the Captiva comes with SUV-style exterior tailgate hinges, two exhaust tailpipes (right and left), silver coloured skid plate and stylish reflectors in the bumper.

The interplay of “rugged/sporty” with “stylish/elegant” continues in the all-new Captiva's interior which features high quality fabrics and materials.

The friendly décor displays a modern ambience, good ergonomic characteristics and a variety of comfort features.

The overall dimensions (length/width/height: 4,639/1,849/1,726 mm) guarantee that the occupants of the Captiva, an their luggage, have plenty of room be it in day-to-day use or on long journeys.The shoulder room in the first and second row of seats is a generous 1,455 mm - placing this exciting newcomer firmly at the top of the compact SUV class.The Captiva also provides passengers with spacious legroom, with 1,035 mm at the front and 940 mm at the rear.

It is one of very few SUV models to also be available as a seven-seater, providing two additional seats in the third row and luggage capacity of 85 litres.  If the sixth and seventh seats are not needed, they can be folded virtually flat, accommodating 465 litres of luggage. The seats in the second row can also be easily folded down, assuming van-like dimensions with a luggage capacity of 930 litres. Furthermore, if the passenger seat is folded forward, objects up to 2.70 metres in length can be transported and 1,565 litres of luggage can be stowed.
