"The Chevrolet Captiva is a big SUV that offers a very low price seven-seater practicality and many devices."

The Chevrolet Captiva was a big SUV rival cars like the Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento, Nissan X if not for the price of size - -Trail and Rover Discovery land. It was available in five and seven-seat form, and with two or four wheel drive. It was not a very good car, because the interior was dated and rather low quality were the engines a little noisy, the cabin was not particularly comfortable and it has not treat them very well.
However, it was the Captiva a very competitive price, that is, when it was still on sale, you would have to find a better seven ~~ POS = TRUNC fight. It cames with many standard equipment, also. Top-of-the-range models featured a range of accessories and a leather interior that felt relatively luxurious. The exterior design was bold and elegant, well
While this car was not great to drive his car or especially comfortable, it was not bad, either -. Just average. Seen as a good-value large SUV, it does make some sense. The Captiva is no longer new, but sold in the UK.

MPG, Rates & CO2 runs

not bad for a seven ~~ POS = TRUNC SUV, but hardly economically
Chevrolet Captiva fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are not particularly good, but that is of a large expected heavy SUV like this. Go for the turbo diesel and it is the bank run does not completely break. It is available with 161 or 181bhp, and both versions are able 45mpg back.

The lighter five-seat version with manual transmission 164 g / km CO2 for an annual road tax bill of £ emits 180th Go for an automatic transmission and the numbers get much worse: fuel consumption at 36.6mpg, while CO2 emissions to increase by more than 0 g / km, for a £ 20 road tax bill each year.

The Captiva is responsible, not large
to goThe Captiva is not very good to drive. When the car was updated in 2011, Chevrolet stiffened the suspension something slightly improves handling, but it still leans quite strong, when you go to a corner quickly. The steering is also easy, which means that it provides not a lot of feedback and feels inaccurate. the all-wheel drive version choice improves things a bit, since it has more grip, but even better rivals.
The Captiva engines are powerful enough, but. The entry LS model comes with a 161bhp 2.2-liter diesel VCDi which it gets from 0-62mph in 10.4 seconds. The higher-spec LTZ model has a 182bhp version of the same engine, which brings the 0-62mph time to 9.7 seconds -. Fairly quickly for a car of this size
The transmission is clunky and cumbersome, but the automatic seriously harms fuel consumption, so whichever transmission you go for, you end up with a weakened car.

Interior & Comfort

engines are loud and the Captiva is uncomfortable on uneven roads
(introduced in 2011) the latest version of Chevolet Captiva has a sportier exterior design and Chevrolet tried to give, handling sportier to make by the suspension significantly stiffer. The car is still comfortable on smooth roads, but unfortunately these are a rarity in the UK, so you every bump and pothole ripple through your spine in the Captiva.

the problem worse by the larger alloy wheels is produced, the higher-spec models come on. The other problem with the Captiva is noise. The engines will be rather noisy at higher speeds and the car is not particularly well insulated, so this is a pretty draining car to drive longer distances. Some of the interior materials used feel a bit cheap, too.

practicality & trunk
-
Very spacious inside, although the trunk is limited with all seven seats
space is the Captiva key strength. It's big on the inside, so there is no shortage of space for passengers in the front and back. The third row of seats in the seven-seater version will only take about two adults, but they are more suitable for children - you do not want to put back there for a long trip certainly, if you are six feet anywhere near high.

You can only access the third row of seats on the second row, but this is fairly easy to do, as a lever forward the seats a breeze tumbling. Boot room with five seats in place is a useful 465 liters, which expands to 1565 liters if you flatten the middle row. But the trunk is negligible with seven seats - there is barely enough room to squeeze in a little week business

reliability and safety
[ -
Top-quality security and Captiva seems mechanically sound
The Chevrolet Captiva originally scored four stars in the Euro NCAP crash tests, which was disappointing for a SUV, how many people who buy them for safety. But things even better if the car Chevrolet in 2011 refreshed and it has the maximum five star rating when it was tested again. There is plenty of safety equipment, including a range of airbags, hill start assist, electronic stability control, traction control, Hill Descent Control and ISOFIX child seat attachment points.
The Captiva was proved to be reliable, well - there were no major problems have been reported, and all its components are tried and tested. But inner material quality is poor in places, so that it could be quite thin in the long run. The Chevrolet brand was the 20th of 32 brands in our Driver Power 2013 Manufacturer rankings - a big improvement over 2012, when it did not make the cut. In addition, the vehicle with a three-year warranty.

price, price-performance ratio and options
-
equipment is good, but resale values are poor
There are only two levels of spec on the Captiva to choose. Entry-level LS cars come with 17-inch alloys, air conditioning, all-round electric windows, daytime running lights, an MP3-compatible CD stereo and Bluetooth phone connection as standard -. Add What is pretty good
Top-spec LTZ cars 19-inch alloys, leather upholstery with heated seats, automatic headlights and wipers, headlight washer system, an onboard computer and roof rails.
Unfortunately resale value for the Captiva are weak, so you take a big hit, no matter which model you choose. These cars can lose as much as two-thirds of its value after three years. They come with a three-year warranty, which includes maintenance and roadside assistance, though.
