One of the best value-for-money vehicles in the fast growing compact SUV segment , the exciting Captiva offers superior ride and handling qualities, providing customers with a great driving experience.

Chevrolet - the company which invented the SUV concept over 70 years ago with the 1935 Suburban Carryall - breaks new ground with the Captiva because the dynamically styled five door Captiva is the first compact SUV from Chevrolet not only for the Middle East but also the global market place.

From the first glance, it's clear that the versatile Captiva combines all the ruggedness of an SUV with the stylish lines and characteristics of a mid-size sedan.  There are a number of derivatives in the range including the LS, LT and LTZ, with each carefully designed to deliver great value for money.  With its compact dimensions, strong, sporty design and class leading range of features even in the base model version, the Captiva has the power to please  with a choice of two engines – 2.4 L and 3.2 L – delivering 136 gross hp and 230 gross hp respectively.

It is also one of only a handful of compact SUVs to offer a seven seater version – perfectly tailored not only for meeting but exceeding the busy lifestyle requirements of large Middle East families on the move.  Customers can choose between front wheel and all wheel drive.

Captiva has more than enough room to cope with just about any transportation task thanks to a cavernous load capacity of  930 litres.  Whether friends need help moving into a new home, or families want to go on a road trip, the Captiva’s generous and flexible interior dimensions make it the logical choice.

The range of standard equipment on the LS model is very generous. Standard features include power windows in the front and back, central locking with remote control, speed-dependant intermittent window screen wipers, a rear wiper,  a black roof rack, and an AM/FM radio with a tape player and an optional MP3 function. 

The LT is available in a combination all-wheel drive. It includes a four spoke leather steering wheel, a length adjustable steering column, an armrest on the console and the centre tunnel, fog lamps at the front, an automatically dipping interior mirror and a net on the floor of the luggage compartment. Its sound system consists of six speakers, an optional CD player and an MP3 function.

Irrespective of the equipment level, the LTZ is always fitted with ESP, automatic level control,

17 inch wheels and rear park assist.

Chevrolet Captiva does not compromise on safety measures, be they passive or active.  The vehicle is the first to offer ground breaking ESP technology, which compares the driver's intended direction in steering and braking inputs, to the vehicle's response and also integrates all-speed traction control.  This process senses drive-wheel slip under acceleration and individually brakes the slipping wheels until control is regained. 

When on a steep incline, Captiva’s Descent Control System (DCS) can be activated at the press of a button to automatically slow down the vehicle without the driver needing to press the brake pedal. This allows the driver to concentrate entirely on steering the vehicle.

The comprehensive Captiva safety package does everything it possibly can to reduce the risk of injury to the occupants should a crash occur. With a head-on impact, the side members, cross members, and front wheel members distribute the resultant force over a total of four load paths so that the interior is subjected to as little deformation as possible. The front doors are reinforced in the middle and upper regions to help make the overall structure more rigid. The rigid body shell structure, made of extra-strength steel, and ESP technology offers a high level of protection.
