Chevrolet’s first compact SUV with a diesel option has been unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show. The Captiva was based on the Chevy/Daewoo S3X concept SUV shown back in 2004.
The Chevrolet Captiva comes with 3 engine options, a 2.4 litre inline-4 DOHC (142hp@5200rpm, 220Nm@4000rpm) and a 3.2 litre V6 (225hp@6000rpm, 302Nm@3500rpm). The Captiva also has a turbodiesel model, a 2.0 litre 150hp common-rail direct injection turbodiesel sourced from Daewoo. It’s also Daewoo’s first turbodiesel engine.
The compact SUV is 4,639mm long, 1,849mm wide and 1,726 mm tall with a wheelbase of 2702mm and comes with 5-seater and 7-seater seating arrangements. It’s available in front-wheel or full-time 4WD options.
Considering it’s pretty hot looks, I hope Hicomobile adds it to Chevrolet’s local line-up, but it’s not sure if it’s likely because this SUV has been designed and targetted at the European market.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Reminds me of Hyundai Sante Fe :p
I hope it has good safety ratings. The only Chevy model I like is the Nabira because it's German made (used to be Opel Zafira) and the quality of the interior looks very well made.
But the other Daewoo models looks too Korean. Any interior pics?
