Chevrolet Captiva - Latest Offering from General Motors India

March 12, 2008 - PRLog -- Chevrolet Captiva, a premium sport utility vehicle, is the latest offering from General Motors India. The state-of-the-art SUV, priced at Rs. 17.74 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), was launched at the 9th Auto Expo this year.

The striking Captiva http://www.chevroletcaptivaindia.com  is a classic example of taut automotive dynamism in its design execution. With its boldly contoured hood, aggressive clear-lens projection headlamps and eye-catching grille featuring a prominent Chevrolet bowtie, the Captiva is sure to turn heads wherever it is driven.  

The Captiva comes across as both rugged and sophisticated. Bold wheel arches, wide tyres mounted on alloy wheels and a sharp feature line across the length of the Captiva add to the masculinity of its stance, while subtle chrome highlights and a bold coupe-style rear window treatment add feline grace to the overall visual package. Its strong rear design is dominated by a large tailgate and substantial vertical tail lamps with indicators and reversing lamps contained in circular elements. Below, twin chrome exhaust pipes complement the Captiva’s sporty looks. The Captiva comes with a state-of-the-art, 2.0-litre in-line four-cylinder, and a single overhead cam16-valve diesel engine. The Captiva has been constructed to maximise space. It comfortably accommodates seven adults and can be transformed into a versatile and adaptable luggage carrier in a flash. Its unique, fold-flat seating arrangement provides up to 1,565 liters of cargo volume.

Safety has been a priority in the Captiva. Driver and front passenger airbags, front seatbelt pre-tensioners and load limiters, and height-adjustable front seatbelts come standard. The Captiva’s four-channel ABS with brake assist-equipped discs intelligently assists with pedal pressure when it detects an emergency braking situation. The rigid high-strength body shell of the Captiva has been optimised to distribute crash forces over defined load paths to help protect the integrity of the passenger safety cell.

Ever since its launch, the Chevrolet Captiva has been receiving rave reviews from all across. This is a study of taut automotive dynamism in its design execution.
