Stay captivated by Westvaal’s new Captiva

GENERAL Motors South Africa last year announced a styling and enhanced features package to refresh the popular Chevrolet Captiva SUV.

The changes included an update to exterior styling, added convenience items and an extended list of factory fitted options.

Chevrolet’s Captiva ushered in a new era in design for the Chevrolet brand when it was first launched onto the international market.

This was a design from a fresh and youthful design team that drew on global inputs and design cues to define this mid-sized SUV for world markets.

The result was a vehicle with well-proportioned features that imparted a bold but sophisticated look.

With seating for seven, the safety features include six airbags, driver and front passenger frontal and side protection plus curtain side protection.

Add to this a comprehensive list of electronic driver aids including ABS and Vehicle Stability Control, and the Captiva presents itself as an ideal family transport solution.

The Captiva range includes the 2.4 LT FWD (Front Wheel Drive) manual and automatic and the top of the range 2.2 D LT FWD (Front Wheel Drive) automatic models. The stunning yet rugged-looking Chevrolet Captiva SUV 2.4 LT FWD manual and automatic models are the models that Chevrolet dealership, Westvaal Motors Polokwane, would like to focus customers’ attention on.

All three Captiva variants feature a “Touch-Pad” lift gate mechanism and passenger seatbelt warning.

Dual-zone climate control air-conditioning, passive entry and start as well as on-board computer is standard on the 2.2 LTZ AWD model and available as a factory fitted option on the 2.4 LT manual and automatic models.

Factory fitted options available on the Captiva 2.4 LT manual include 18-inch alloy wheels with a new fresh design, an electronic sunroof and leather seats. The Chevrolet Captiva 2.4 LT FWD is powered by a 2.4-litre Ecotec engine with variable valve timing that produces 123kW and 230Nm of torque. This latest generation engine from Chevrolet offers exceptional economy in operation.

Tests conducted by Chevrolet engineers indicate a combined cycle fuel economy of a mere 8,8 l/100km for this front wheel drive 2.4 litre model.

The Captiva 2.4 LT with front wheel drive is available with a smooth operating six-speed manual transmission.
