Chevrolet Captiva has taken the concept of SUV to a higher level, as it not only has power, but also a meliorate mixture of style & comfort. In this elegant looking SUV, the chassis is integrated with the body. As its tag line states, “CHOOSE YOUR TURF”, this versatile Chevrolet car having enormous power in it gives an open opportunity to rule the roughest terrain. It not only dominates off roads, but also rules the street lanes. Body of this vehicle lies on 17’’ alloy wheels, which, while at rest, commands attention. The air dam (spoiler), present on the sides, prevents from the aerodynamic lifting of the car. The side indicators, which are one of the safety features & style statement in the car, are not present on the front portion of the body instead they are present on the outer rear view mirrors, as LED indicators.
In the interiors of Chevy Captiva one can find, adjustable front arm rest, storage space in the rear arm rest & a music system which can be very easily controlled by the touch of fingers. All these make us believe that we are in the lap of comfort. The space below its hood is occupied by Variable Geometry Common Rail Direct Injection diesel engine. This, 4 cylinder with 4 valves in each cylinder, engine delivers a very high power of 150 PS & torque of 320 Nm. When you are descending down the hill, there is no need to press the brakes because the descent control system present in it is intelligent enough to control the speed.
The presence of self leveling suspension technology helps the car to be in firm state, not worrying a bit about the load or terrain. With this technology, the car wheels, with the help of shock absorbers, adjust accordingly to the terrain or load & the vehicle remains in the balanced state, thus enhancing the efficiency & the handling. Because of the presence of an all wheel drive technology, the wheels of Captiva Car get enough strength, in the form torque, that they came easily zoom out of loose sand.
For the driver, even the infinitesimal information, regarding the movement of the vehicle, is important & keeping this in mind, Chevrolet Captive depicts various information like speed, time, mileage, distance etc. either digitally or with the help of dials & needles. Although the car has plenty of space, but if the need for space grows, then the middle & rear row of the seats can be folded down & can be used accordingly. Except the driver seats, all other seats can be completely folded down, allowing you to carry anything for a party or for a weekend trip.
All other features take back foot, when the turn of safety comes as no compromises can be made in this section. Under the division of safety, Captiva protects its passengers by the presence of dual airbags, ABS & EBD. The car has an aggressive attitude & appreciable looks but we also came across certain Cons like the car would have given a commendable view of the road, had the driver seat been 6 inches higher. To adjust the side view mirrors with the help of switch is not a great idea, as it is quite in convenient while adjusting the mirrors while driving.
