chevrolet corvette c 6

Although Chevrolet is it, shall affix a durable sheet metal dress is anything but a true American. The Captiva with Daewoo in Korea will be built, is planned for the European market. We have the multi-cultural SUV.

"Badge tightness Institution of Electrical Engineers Ring" is the magic word when it comes to the development and production costs lower for a car. For the Chevrolet Captiva this means: He is not only the twin brother of the Opel Antara, no, he still shares the underbody with Chevrolet Equinox, Saturn Vue and Pontiac Torrent - all three SUVs for the U.S. market.

Compulsory / pleasant

The high front of the Captiva makes what her properly, the large grille and air intakes in the front apron, symbolizing strength. An underrun of silver plastic and the roof rails provide for off-feelings that are easy to cock it quite well and unobtrusively.
The Captiva is available with four or six cylinder petrol engine and a four-cylinder diesel engine. While the market is the beginning of the Opel Antara self igniter for its striking weakness in February 2007, Chevrolet delivers the diesel model.

No weakness

Coupled with a smooth five-speed switching mechanism is not much to be felt by the weakness of Start of 150-horsepower engine. With lines of 2.000 Captiva 320 Newton meter gets from its two liter combustion chamber.

An automatically distributes power to all four wheels - under normal conditions, 100 percent of torque to the front axle. Only if the states that immediate action is not more traction up to 50 percent to the rear wheels.

Well twelve seconds to treat the Chevy to reach the 100 km / h mark. The models created handswitched the sprint in just 10.6 seconds. Starting speed 140 's in the interior, with 180 km / h is much louder end of course, after some approach that we call. During the trip-Captiva is moderate with about nine liters of diesel, is still faster on the job, it can be twelve liters.

Cosiness

While the chassis tuning engineers measured the highest priority to the comfort. The soft suspension irons out bumps well, even brief effects fit with the springs for Captiva clean just as it belongs to an SUV. Sporty driving is not taken into account against them, but also the long translated steering element is too vague.
While on highways rather the curves stop order (ESP is standard on all models), they are in the Chevrolet on the highway and the ruts of the cross-wind. Of the Captiva can be attracted only too glad of the particular course.

In the hands rotate

At the request of the Captiva with seven seats available. When the third row is not needed, the seats disappear into the precise luggage floor. For the establishment of the two chairs just handle. The backbencher Comfort enjoys only limited, but it sits in the second row, the better.
One reason for the good space on the back seat are the short tracks of the first row. Some great drivers would still like to secure his seat on the back. Apart from the fact that it can be borne comfortably on the padded seats on longer routes.

Strong

The cockpit of the Captiva is solid, the green light, however, old-instrument bakes. The steering wheel buttons on the handy Volant have no lighting. The operation of radio and ventilation, the onboard computer with compass and other gadgets hopelessly overloaded against them is simple.
Their bags overflow before cell phones, purses and keys, open and closed compartments can rejoice over a large number. The actual luggage compartment offers up to liter volumes 930 (with back to the bottom bank). Deficiency: The low-friction tailgate does not open very far. But the disk can be opened separately unfold.

For every taste

Three units are for the diesel Captiva available: LS, LT and LT exclusively. Always on board are also six airbags, electric windows, rain sensor, air conditioning and a CD radio. Even the all-wheel drive is compatible with the self-timer detonator in the price. The additional Toplinie by 18-inch, an MP3-capable radio with CD-switch, the electrically adjustable driver's seat and leather furnishings.
But even 34,890 euros due to the high quality of the LT exclusive amenities. As extras the only mechanism left for 1,200 euros, a glass sunroof for 850 euro and 490 euro expensive IC painted metal. The basis Captiva 2.0 LS (only available as a five-seater) will be available from 29.390 Euro in the price.

Score

Compared with his brother Antara Chevy buyers get more car for less money - the Opel is only a five-seater. Who does not disturb the soft vote and the indirect steering element is a solid SUV. Reproduction of the trump card played by the Captiva as comfortable travelmobilely, while moderate recompences trip is his driver with moderate consumption.
