Technical characteristics of the Chevrolet Captiva. Updated Chevrolet Captiva FL. Top equipment LTZ

Chevrolet Captiva is an urban SUV with the makings of an SUV. Solid appearance, plug-in all-wheel drive, the presence of a seven-seater saloon - this car has many advantages. Its release began in 2006, in 2012 a restyled version appeared. Its origin is Korean, but the quality and style are American, which provides it with a stable demand for Russian market where large jeeps are traditionally valued.

Test drive Chevrolet Captiva

The best way to check if a car is right for you is to drive it. Everything official dealers Chevrolet offer a test drive, which will allow the future owner to decide on a purchase. The target audience Chevrolet Captiva primarily men. His whole brutal appearance suggests that it is serious car. Strict body contours, nothing superfluous in interior trim, a minimum of details.

At the same time, Captiva is very functional. But, as they say, everything is on point. A spacious trunk with an additional compartment under the floor allows you to load even a small elephant. A large glove compartment with a hidden compartment holds a set of wrenches and a bunch of other similar “little things”. The desire for minimalism in the exterior of this car has reached the steering wheel. It is, of course, big, like in a trolley bus, but why is it so thin? The grip is uncomfortable, but this can be compensated for by a case with a foam lining.

It has rich traditions. Learn about the changes he has made in our material.

How does this city SUV drive? You have to get used to its dynamics, it is ambiguous. The first speed in a manual transmission is very short and slurred. But, if necessary, to shake the car that has sat down “on its belly”, it is good. Automatic up to 2000 rpm is rather weak, does not pull. But after 2000, Captiva suddenly comes to life, and then the real drive. In general, in this car you either fly or crawl.

The jeep is resistant to rutting, despite the relatively narrow transverse dimension. The post-styling version does not have the effect of longitudinal rocking. New chassis settings allow for crisper cornering. The suspension is energy-intensive, perfectly absorbs all the bumps and bumps in the road. The driver and passengers feel comfortable. The car lacks the “pendulum” effect that all large SUVs are prone to when maneuvering with sudden stops, here it is reduced to zero, through special suspension control settings.

Pro off-road qualities Captives argue a lot. At the jeep that claims to be good cross, they are like honey from the cartoon about Winnie the Pooh - either there or not. Chevrolet Captiva has them. But, in many respects they depend on the power and thrust of the engine. Chevrolet, of course, is not a Hummer, but it is rushing well. According to the reviews of the owners, parking on a snowdrift is not a problem, as well as driving up a steep mountain through mud.

Captiva is not very stable. The ratio of the longitudinal and transverse distance between the wheels, plus high ground clearance, do not allow her to cling to the road with a stranglehold. It is too narrow for an aggressive driving style. The steering wheel, sometimes not too informative, and this does not allow you to completely relax while driving.

But you can get used to this behavior of Captiva, after all, but still she is an all-wheel drive SUV, albeit a light class, she is supposed to be somewhat rolled and thoughtful.

Specifications Chevrolet Captiva

This car is delivered to Russia with three types of engines. The most budgetary -2.4 liters with 136 horses under the hood. It will not provide crazy dynamics, but it is quite reliable and traction. A small tax will be a nice bonus for the owner of Captiva with this modification of the engine.

Gasoline consumption of a car with such a unit, according to General Motors engineers, is eight liters on the highway, 10-12 in a combined cycle in the city. In reality, according to the owners, it turns out more. City cycle 14-16 liters, highway 11.5 l / 100 km. 3 liter petrol engine This version of the engine appeared in updated version, after restyling, and replaced the V6 3.2 liter. It became more powerful, the number of horses was increased to 249. At the same time, the 3 liter engine became more economical than its predecessor.

Acceleration to the coveted hundred is now 8.6 seconds, which improves dynamic indicators for 0.2 seconds. Claimed fuel consumption is 14.3l/100km urban and 8.3l/100km highway. Top speed is limited to 198 km/h.

Another serious unit is the V6 3.2 l / 230l.s. It is only available in pre-styling version. This is the optimal engine for a car weighing 1770 kilograms. With this ratio of mass and torque, the car accelerates to hundreds in 8.8 seconds. Quite a decent indicator for an SUV, which allows you to comfortably navigate through city traffic jams. gasoline engine 3.2 eats in the city of 18 -20 liters. His maximum speed- 198 km / h.

Diesel engine 2.2 The Chevrolet Captiva with a diesel engine under the hood has 184 hp. Acceleration to hundreds - 9.6 seconds. The maximum speed that he is able to develop is 191 km / h.

The appetite of this unit is good, according to the owners, in the city it consumes 17-18 liters, on the highway 14, against the manufacturer's declared 14.3 and 8.3 liters per hundred, respectively.

The high fuel consumption that many Captiva owners complain about is a sensitive drawback. But it can be fixed by switching the car to gas. Those who buy Captiva seriously and for a long time solve the problem big expense fuel installation HBO.

Transmission

The Chevrolet Captiva comes with both automatic and manual transmissions. A mechanical 6-speed transmission provides throttle response and a smooth ride, both on urban asphalt and off-road. It is better to take an automatic box with a 3.2 or 3 liter engine. An automatic with a 2.4 engine is stupid. For driving around the city, its dynamics are enough, but sometimes, if necessary, enhanced maneuvering, it is annoying with its slowness.

Salon Chevrolet Captiva (+ photo)

Salon in Chevrolet Captiva is spacious. Even a very tall driver can comfortably sit behind the wheel, and the ceiling will not put pressure on him, thanks to the large windshield. Passengers sitting in the back do not rest their knees on the backs of the front seats. The same passengers of the second row will not have to pretend to be professional divers, sitting in the cabin.

A large door opening allows you to get into the car without making complex gestures. For the convenience of using the cabin space, various functions of seat transformation are provided. The rear row, which can be laid out both in the floor and in the proportions of 60/40, will allow you to load both a wardrobe and a bicycle into the car. Heated front seats and lumbar support for the driver's seat (not in all trim levels) will ensure driving comfort. And in seven-seater modifications, the rear row of seats can also be removed, or folded in a 50/50 ratio.

The Captiva has a very high quality interior trim. Our fellow citizens love to criticize Americans for cheap plastic. Like, if you knock on it - it rattles, if you hit it - it hurts. It is not clear, of course, why many car owners are experimenting with such trivial materials as interior trim ... But, their finest hour has come! The Chevrolet Captiva plastic is very soft, looks beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, does not rattle or rattle on bumps. Seat materials meet high quality standards. fabric salon(in cheaper versions) does not fade, does not wipe off, lends itself well to dry cleaning. Leather and eco-leather are used for seat upholstery in more expensive trim levels. They don't stretch or rub off.

The only negative is the lack of perforation; in hot weather, sitting in such chairs is not very comfortable. Salon budget versions designed for five people, but three healthy adult men in the back seat will be cramped. It is rather intended for children. But here, too, a problem arises - it is also difficult to put three car seats in a row there, rather a pair of car seats and a booster. The seven-seater option will cost more, both used and new. It is less common. You will have to wait when ordering a new car, and look when buying a used one.

Options and prices Chevrolet Captiva

Everyone chooses a car for themselves. Based on this principle, General Motors engineers have released many different trim levels for the Chevrolet Captiva. LS

The simplest equipment - LS, already includes the main comfort elements, without which it is impossible to imagine modern car. The safety and stability of the car on the road is provided by ABS and traction control, as well as ESP, equipped with a subsystem (TSA), which stabilizes the trailer when skidding. Side, frontal and even ceiling airbags provided Captiva with a high crash test score. For the comfort of the driver and front passengers there is heated seats. Air conditioning, CD player, 6 speakers with MP3 player support are also included in this package. Light alloy 17" wheel disks are also supplied in the database.

The LT package completely repeats the LS, and is complemented by cruise control, steering column adjustment, rain sensor, foglights, and an electrochromic interior rear-view mirror. The salon in this version is combined, made of fabric with leather elements. Also lined with leather wheel and the "skirt" of the gear lever. LT Plus Chevrolet Captiva's configurations are built on the principle of nesting dolls - each next one repeats the previous one, but a little more. Discs added to LT Plus larger diameter than in the LS, there is a sunroof, and power driver's seat adjustment. The interior itself is upholstered in black leather. The rear-view mirrors are electrically adjustable and heated.

And, finally, the top-end equipment - LTZ. It included all the best from the previous ones, and added such nice little things as roof rails, tinted side windows. The discs have grown by one inch again, and the number of speakers has increased to 8.

Chevrolet Captiva options

Options There are a lot of useful and pleasant options in the Chevrolet Captiva. In more detail it is worth talking about the most popular. There is a towbar in any configuration, which allows you to use the Captiva as a tractor, and transport boats, motor homes and other trailers. Pneumatic shock absorbers do not allow the car to sag even with an overloaded trunk. Stand, they, respectively, only behind. Equipped with vehicle level sensors.

The front shock absorbers are simple, non-pneumatic, with level sensors and adjustable stiffness. Chevrolet suspension repair expensive pleasure. But breaking it is not so easy, despite the tales of the unreliability of pneumatics. A careful owner has no problems with it. And lovers of off-road driving should buy a Niva or UAZ, because Captiva is more of an urban SUV. The handbrake is designed in an unusual way for those who have not ridden an American before. It's just a button on the dashboard. Controls for the audio system and cruise control are located on the steering wheel, like most Chevrolet SUVs.

opening glass tailgate allows you to throw in the trunk of any object that is not too large, for example, a tool box, without opening the main door. This is true if the luggage compartment is already heavily loaded. The cabin has a spacious compartment for small items, which can be used to cool drinks. Nice feature, which many owners do not know about until the end of using the car, until new owner won't call and ask how this thing turns on. Generally, read technical guidance to the car - a very rewarding activity. Thanks to this, you can get acquainted with all the options (and there are many) in the Chevrolet Captiva.

Is it worth choosing a used Chevrolet Captiva

Of course, getting into a new car specially made for you is always more pleasant. But also harder. After all, the minimum price for the most “empty” car starts from a position of 950,000 rubles. The most expensive equipment exceeds the bar of two million. So is it worth that kind of money? Maybe yes. This reliable car, with good interior fittings, and, according to the reviews of most owners, in the first years of operation it practically does not break. You only have to change consumables and undergo scheduled maintenance.

At the same time, just after leaving the threshold of the cabin, any car becomes cheaper. So that all invested funds cannot be returned. Selling Captiva is hard, and buyers are often good at knocking down the price. Basically, such a decrease is due to the expensive maintenance of a used Chevrolet Captiva, but also because of its good appetite. The rest of the car is very decent. In used condition, this Jeep is affordable.

The minimum price for a car in 2007, in Moscow, where, traditionally, the lowest price tags for used cars, starts from the position of 450,000 rubles. By becoming the second or third customer of Captiva, you can get more rich equipment at the price of a new, "empty" car. But, at the same time, you can get a bunch of "sores", which we will discuss below.

What "sick" Chevrolet Captiva

The most expensive thing to treat is suspension. It is pneumatic, spare parts are expensive, their installation is a technologically complex process. Since the Captiva is still a jeep, many owners are trying to storm off-road on it. It is better not to do this, it will be more wholesome. Catalyst is another headache owners of this Chevrolet model. When buying a used car, you should splurge on an inspection at the service, so as not to get into expensive repairs later.

The stabilizer struts are being replaced already at 30,000 - 50,000 kilometers. Unpleasant, but this is done under warranty. Other problems are not of such a large scale. These are, basically, various "glitches" of electricians - errors, incorrect work algorithms, which are well treated by masters in authorized services.

Conclusion

Most often, buyers of this SUV, both used and new, are deterred by the price of maintenance. But with careful and careful operation, the car rarely breaks down, it is reliable. For the rest, big problems Captiva will not create, opting for Chevrolet Captiva, the owner will receive good car for families and trips to nature, which will organically fit into the city stream.

In 2011, the Chevrolet Captiva crossover for the first time was overtaken by a full-scale modernization (without a generation change) - both the exterior and interior of the car changed significantly, and it also underwent serious technical improvements.

In 2013, the crossover was slightly corrected appearance.

And already in November 2015, the all-terrain vehicle went through modernization again, having made its official debut at the Dubai International Motor Show - the five-door "matured" outwardly, trying on a more solid front end, received minor adjustments to the interior decoration and "armed" with new options, but at the same time did without any technical improvements.

In general, we can say that the appearance of the “updated Captiva” is always promptly “customized” in accordance with the corporate design of the brand, and the car looks most interesting (and even menacing) from the front - narrowed head light optics, the “mouth” of the radiator grille and a powerful bumper with sections fog lights and a low "lip" (interfering on the road).

The silhouette of the crossover, endowed with embossed wheel arches, expressive stampings and stylish mirrors on legs, also has a spectacular look, but the feed is perceived somewhat simply - a large tailgate, LED lights and a bumper with massive plastic protection and two nozzles exhaust system.

It is worth noting that in Brazil in 2016 they presented “their vision of modern Captiva”, but, most likely, this option will remain local - i.e. outside of Latin America will not go.

The dimensions of the Chevrolet Captiva allow us to consider it a “mid-size”, but formally it is listed in the compact class: length - 4673 mm, height - 1756 mm, width - 1868 mm. Wheelbase crossover fits into 2707 mm, and ground clearance in running order is 200 mm.

The curb weight of the car varies in the range of 1843 ~ 1978 kg (depending on the version), and it is ready to take on board ~ 550 kg.

Inside, the crossover is perceived as a real "American" due to the characteristic design - large "saucers" of instruments glowing with white backlight, and a large multifunctional wheel with a 4-spoke layout.

The visual center of the front panel is the visor of the multimedia complex, which can be expressed as a small monochrome screen or a 7-inch “TV”. Bottom part center console somewhat overloaded with buttons - the control units for "music" and "climate" are based here.

decoration updated Captiva finished with soft plastics, dilute elements silver color. The seats, depending on the version, are dressed in fabric, artificial leather with fabric inserts or genuine leather.

The front seats of the Chevrolet Captiva have a suboptimal profile and slightly pronounced support on the sides, so they will not be comfortable for everyone. The middle row of seats is spacious and free for passengers of any height, but the “gallery” is suitable for children or short adults.

With a seven-seat layout, even a few travel bags will hardly fit into the trunk of a crossover - its volume is only 97 liters. Third row seats folded down cargo compartment increases to 769 liters, and also with the second - up to 942 liters (reaching a maximum of 1577 liters - without passengers).

To load small luggage, the glass of the car opens in a separate section, and the spare wheel is located under the bottom.

The Chevrolet Captiva FL power range consists of two petrol units and a turbodiesel:

• The four-cylinder gasoline “aspirated” with a volume of 2.4 liters is equipped with distributed injection and variable valve timing. Its maximum potential is 167 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 230 Nm of torque at 4600 rpm.
• The "top" version is an atmospheric "six" with V-shaped cylinders, equipped with direct fuel supply. The 3.0 liter aluminum engine produces 258 hp. (249 in the Russian Federation) at 6900 rpm and 288 Nm of peak thrust, reached at around 5800 rpm.
• A 2.2-liter unit with a variable valve timing mechanism and a turbine with adjustable impeller geometry is installed on the “diesel Captiva”. The result is 184 hp at 3800 rpm and 400 Nm of torque delivered from 2000 rpm.

Four-cylinder engines are combined with "mechanics" or "automatic" (in each case, six gears), and the V6 engine relies exclusively on automatic transmission.

System all-wheel drive available to everyone - rear axle is connected using an electronically controlled clutch: under standard conditions, 100% of traction goes to the front wheels, and in emergency situations up to 50% is transferred to rear wheels.

Depending on the modification, the crossover accelerates to the first hundred in 9-11.1 seconds, its peak is 175-198 km/h.

Gasoline consumption varies from 9.3 to 10.7 liters (combined cycle), for diesel engine this figure will be 6.4 ~ 7.9 liters.

The Chevrolet Captiva crossover is built on the GM Theta architecture, which implies the presence of classic MacPherson struts in the front axle design and a multi-link suspension in the rear axle.

The brake system "flaunts" disk devices with ventilation "in a circle", which is assisted by four-channel ABS, and rack and pinion steering- hydraulic booster.

In the Russian market, sales of Captiva were stopped back in 2015, but in Kazakhstan, a restyled car of 2018 is sold with two gasoline engines in three options equipment - "Base", "LT" and "LTZ".

• An SUV with a 2.4-liter "four" in the basic version costs a minimum of 8,502,000 tenge (~1.6 million rubles).

Its features include: leather interior trim, blind spot monitoring system, front parking sensors, heated second row seats, eight-speaker “music”, a rear-view camera with dynamic markings and some other functionality.

They have not undergone significant changes over time, although the car has gone through two restyling. The first model of the famous American SUV saw the light in 2006. In 2010, a model was presented to motorists after the first restyling with an updated exterior and a modified chassis.

After the second restyling in 2013, the equipment of the car was expanded.

The interior has undergone more significant changes:

• the front panel and console have become completely different;
• the dashboard has become more convenient and understandable;
• on the steering wheel is the control of all systems of the car;
• the interior is trimmed with new plastic materials and fabric inserts;
• interior transformation is possible.

The designers did a good job with the ergonomics of the cabin: now you do not need to look for buttons for a long time - they are all at hand. In the updated Chevrolet Captiva, the characteristics of the cabin are amazing: everything is added and unfolded here. Spacious inner space allows comfortable accommodation for passengers of any body weight and height. From the inside, the SUV began to look more expensive and nobler. For a fee, it is possible to order a fully leather interior trim.

This is where all the changes end: specifications chevrolet captiva 2007 and the price scale remained the same.

Unfortunately, this version of the SUV cannot boast of optimal ground clearance for the Russian complex landscape. It is not mentioned anywhere in the attached documentation for the car. true size clearance, which is a small amount of 17 cm. The distance from front bumper to the track is halved by the "toothy skirt". In accordance with these indicators do not allow him to be called a car off-road, whose value it claims.

History of Chevrolet Captiva / Chevrolet Captiva

In 2006 to the line available models GM joined relatively inexpensive SUV Captiva, which the concern brought to Europe from Korea. The premiere took place on Geneva Motor Show. This time, the company presented not a huge and heavy american jeep, a compact car class SUV (Sport Utility Vehicle) or, in popular terms, SUV. Captiva is translated from Italian as "captive".

The look is quite masculine. The grille is crowned with a large Chevrolet badge. Originally located foglights give the car a certain charm. The rear part fits very harmoniously into the overall look: two exhaust pipes, beautiful taillights - it turns out to be a very solid image.

The interior has a sense of carefully thought-out functionality. Nothing superfluous, but everything that is - to the place and looks great. In the decoration used only high-quality plastic. The dashboard indicators are easy to read, all control buttons are at hand, and the woodgrain and aluminum trim (in the expensive version) looks high quality and appropriate. Inside, up to seven passengers can comfortably accommodate. The basic version is designed for five people. The seats are adjustable in various planes. The steering wheel can also be adjusted in height and angle. It has an audio control panel, as well as, in some trim levels, also buttons for controlling the cruise control system.

Trunk volume is quite impressive, and if you fold the rear seats, the usable area doubles. The rear seat can also be folded in parts (in a ratio of 60/40). With all the passenger seats folded down, the volume of the cargo compartment will increase to 1565 liters. By the way, for the convenience of loading into Captiva, you can separately open the rear door glass. In the cabin for storing small luggage there is a roomy glove box, which is also cooled. In the pockets of the front doors, in addition to places for the map, there are round niches, for liter bottles of water, for example.

The basic package of the Chevrolet Captiva includes 6 airbags, Dynamic Stability Program (ESP), alloy wheels 17, power accessories, air conditioning, CD / MP3 with the ability to control the radio on the steering wheel. There are versions of the Captiva with cruise control, fog lights, heated seats, trip computer, leather upholstery and 18-inch alloy wheels.

The car is offered with three types of engines: two petrol and one diesel. Diesel unit 2.0 l / 150 hp and front-wheel drive modification Captiva in Russia will not be sold. So you will have to choose among all-wheel drive options with two gasoline engines(2.4 l / 136 hp and V6 3.2 l / 230.s.). Gearbox to choose from: manual and 5-speed automatic.

The V-shaped "six" well pulls the 1770-pound Captiva, coupled with a 5-speed automatic transmission gear accelerates the car to 100 km / h in less than 9 s.

In normal mode, the car is front-wheel drive, and only when the drive wheels start to slip, the electronics connects the rear wheels, to which up to 50% of torque can be transmitted, if necessary. There are no locks and lowering on Captiva. If necessary, it is possible to turn on the descent assistance (this system artificially lowers the speed of the car when descending, slowing down the engine and wheels so that the car does not turn across the slope). Fully independent suspension Captiva (front - McPherson, rear - multi-link) copes with road irregularities without any problems.

The updated Captiva model was presented at the Paris Auto Show in October 2010. compact SUV received an updated exterior, improved interior and new engines as part of the restyling. The car has also become safer.

The front of the car has changed significantly, has become more pointed and aggressive. This is facilitated by a more streamlined front bumper. A new hood with sharp lines catches the eye. The radiator grille, like the pre-styling version, is divided into two parts. Only now these are not narrow stripes, but a real combat visor from the edge of the hood, through the entire bumper to the plastic skirt. The head optics have been noticeably upgraded. Large rectangular headlights are slightly upturned. Powerful fog lights, framed in chrome, are located in a special plane integrated into the bumper. Air vents on the front fenders give the car a dynamic look. Behind changed only lights. Rear optics received a fashionable transparent case, in which multi-colored signal lights are located. The 2011 Captiva also received LED turn signals integrated into the mirrors, new body colors and fresh alloy wheel designs.

The developers paid no less attention to the interior. updated crossover. V better side the seats have changed, they have good lateral support. The central part of the dashboard has also changed, it has become more modern. The liquid crystal display, which broadcasts navigation and a picture from the rear view camera, fits perfectly into the overall concept of the central panel. The mechanical parking brake was replaced by a more modern electric one. Thus, the designers freed up space for a multifunctional glove box between the front seats. Designers used elements from other Chevrolet models, such as blue lighting and instrument panel cladding that blends seamlessly into the front doors. Captiva is offered in 5- or 7-seat versions, and the rows of seats themselves are arranged with an increase, like in a movie theater. V standard equipment all cars have a full power package, including electric mirrors, rain and light sensors and many other systems that help the driver drive the car. Trunk volume is 769 liters, it can be transformed by folding the second row of seats to 1577 liters.

The range of engines for the Chevrolet Captiva has been radically changed. Engines are completely modernized, power increased. Customers are offered 4 new engines of the Evro-5 standard, which are serially combined with a 6-speed "mechanics". A 6-speed automatic is also available as an option. The base is the ECOTEC gasoline engine with a working volume of 2.4 liters, equipped with a modern VVT system, which provides adjustment of the valve timing. The power of this engine is 167 hp, and the fuel consumption is 8.9 l / 100 when using mechanical box gears. Acceleration to hundreds declared on the passport is 10.5 seconds. by the most powerful engine is a 3 liter V6. Direct fuel injection and flexible valve control deliver 258 hp. He is able to disperse the Captiva to hundreds in 8.6 seconds. The maximum speed is 198 km / h, fuel consumption is 10.7 l / 100 km in a combined cycle.

New 2.2-liter turbodiesels are presented in two versions: 163 and 184 hp. The engines have a turbocharger with variable geometry, intercooler and " common rail". Unlike previous generation diesels, the new engines have a lower compression ratio. Thanks to this, the power new Chevrolet Captiva is higher and CO2 emissions are lower. With a 163 hp diesel engine, technical Chevrolet specifications Captiva are as follows: acceleration in 9.9 seconds to 100 kilometers per hour from standstill, top speed of 189 km/h. With a diesel engine, the power of which is 184 hp, Chevrolet Captiva accelerates from standstill to 100 km/h in 9.4 seconds, top speed is 200 km/h. For both versions, fuel consumption is 6.4 l / 100 kilometers.

The new car is also equipped with an all-wheel drive system. Active system all-wheel drive controls the connection of the rear wheels through an electronically controlled clutch. The distribution of torque along the axes is constantly adjusted in automatic mode and can be adjusted to a ratio of 50:50. Under normal driving conditions, 100% of the torque is transferred to the front wheels. The all-wheel drive system is fully integrated with anti-lock braking system and a dynamic stabilization system to ensure maximum controllability of the car's behavior.

The updated chassis of the Chevrolet Captiva improves the vehicle's dynamic qualities, improves handling in tight corners, reduces roll and improves overall driving characteristics. Basic equipment Captiva includes systems that provide active safety high level. The vehicle is equipped with ESC (Dynamic Stability Control), TCS (Traction Control) and BAS (Brake Assist).

Six airbags (side, front and curtain airbags to protect rear passengers) are part of the system passive safety. The front seats have diagonal lap belts with pretensioners and force limiters. The second-row side seats are equipped with Isofix anchorages, which allow you to quickly and securely install child seats.

In 2013, the updated Chevrolet Captiva was officially presented at the Geneva Motor Show. As before, the restyled crossover is available in both five-seater and seven-seater versions. The exterior has changed slightly. The radiator grille was updated, it received a black honeycomb crate, chrome trim around the edges and an additional bar in the center. The shape of the front bumper has undergone a slight change, the fog lights. The new headlights have taken on a more narrowed shape. Small holes appeared on the front fenders. Behind the car also received a new bumper, updated design reflectors, and the round tailpipes of the exhaust system gave way to chrome-plated rectangular pipes with a sporty design. Rear lights slightly enlarged and equipped with LEDs.

In the cabin, there are also few changes. The instrument panel has changed slightly compared to the previous generation, now there are two distinct scales with a nice blue backlight. Between them is a small display that displays engine temperature, oil pressure and a few more indicators in real time. The steering wheel has changed shape and received additional adjustments vehicle systems. In addition to the design in the cabin, ergonomics have improved significantly. From the inside, the car began to look much more expensive. The interior trim used better plastics and fabric elements. Top-of-the-line trims have got an updated leather interior with new trim colors, new front panel trims and a few other minor innovations.

The possibilities of transforming the interior deserve a separate discussion. Everything is added here and in any combination. V previous version Captiva did not have such opportunities. Even the crossover version with a third row of seats allows you to make a flat floor for loading without dismantling the third row. The seats fold down in any proportions you need, that is, you can carry the required number of passengers and at the same time get excellent cargo space. In a completely transformed state, the car offers almost a thousand liters of usable volume. In the standard version, the volume of the luggage compartment is 477 liters.
