General Motors India launched its new next generation
Chevrolet Captiva 2.2 AT premium sport utility vehicle.
Mr. Lowell Paddock, President and Managing Director of
General Motors India, said: “The Captiva has been warmly welcomed in markets
around the world due to its combination of distinctive styling, refinement,
best-in-class safety, comfort and versatility and powerful yet frugal diesel
powertrain. In India, it has established a clear niche for itself in the
premium SUV segment. The Captiva is everything our customers across India have
come to associate with the Chevrolet nameplate.
The striking Captiva 2.2 A/T is a study of taut
automotive dynamism in its design execution. With its boldly contoured hood,
aggressive clear-lens projection headlamps and eye-catching signature Chevrolet
grille featuring a prominent Chevrolet bowtie, the Captiva is sure to turn heads
wherever it is driven. The Captiva 2.2 A/T is a new addition to the Captiva
variant line up in India offering an aggressive feature and
The Ex-showroom Delhi prices of the Chevrolet Captiva
variants are :-

· Captiva 2.2 AT
AWD INR 24,59,000/-
In profile, the Captiva 2.2 A/T comes across as both
rugged and sophisticated. Bold wheel arches, 235/65 R 17 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 grace to the overall visual package.
The Captiva’s strong rear design is dominated by a large
tailgate and substantial vertical tail lamps with indicators and reversing
lamps contained in circular elements. Below, the chrome tipped twin exhaust
complement the Captiva’s sporty looks.
The Captiva 2.2 A/T
includes a powerful 2.2-liter engine that delivers 186.5bhp @ 3800 RPM
and 424Nm @ 2000 RPM torque along with a six-speed automatic transmission.
The Captiva has been constructed to maximise space. The 5
+ 2 Flexi Seating arrangement can comfortably accommodate seven adults and can
be transformed into a adaptable luggage carrier in a flash. Its unique,
fold-flat seating arrangement provides up to 1,565 liters of cargo volume. The
new Captiva 2.2 A/T has a fresh new sporty and muscular exterior design and a
jet-black interior.
Practicality has also been accorded priority. Among the
new comfort and convenience amenities are cruise control; third-row heating,
ventilation and air-conditioning system; an electric parking brake;
rain-sensing wipers; and a stylish sunroof.
The Captiva incorporates convenience features such as a
remote-operated tailgate glass for quick access and many thoughtful storage
solutions, including a large wet/dry area beneath the load compartment floor, a
glove box cooler, a deep centre console bin, a rear centre console storage area
and handy door bins.
Other convenience features include bottle holders, small
item/coin and cup holders, a parking ticket holder, an overhead sunglasses
compartment, seatback pockets and a dual-compartment sliding driver’s armrest.
The Captiva also features three 12-volt power outlets that are accessible to
all passengers.
The Captiva’s all-leather seating and matching cabin
exude total luxury, while an integrated 2-DIN CD/MP3 player with six speakers
provides an extremely pleasurable listening experience. Tinted automatic
windows, power mirrors, an eight-way power adjustable driver seat and an
electronic climate control system with particle filter are all standard.
Our engineers have made safety a priority in the Captiva
2.2 A/T. 6 Airbags - Driver and front passenger airbags, Seat side and Roof
side 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 provides optimum 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.
As a result of a concerted development effort, the
Chevrolet Captiva has been configured to tackle Indian roads, with completely
optimised ride and handling characteristics. The result is a comfortable and
stable vehicle that can easily take on varying local driving conditions.
Despite its SUV pedigree, the Captiva is ideal for the
urban commute. Its trim exterior proportions ensure class-leading
maneuverability in everyday driving conditions. The power steering system has
been tuned for quick response, precise road feel and optimum driver feedback.
The Captiva features a four-link independent rear suspension system and
MacPherson struts up front. Suspension settings have been carefully calibrated
to deliver car-like ride and handling even on imperfect road surfaces.
A unique feature of the Captiva is a level ride
suspension system, which automatically maintains nominal ride height under
differing load conditions – a feature that offers assured road clearance as
well as optimal ride quality for passengers.
“The Captiva is all about economical, refined and
power-packed diesel performance combined with spacious luxury and fantastic
road presence,” said Mr. Paddock. “When you add it all up, the Chevrolet
Captiva offers everything any discerning Indian car buyer could want in the
premium SUV space - and most importantly, at a price point that represents
un-matched value for money.
To enhance the Chevrolet buying experience, GM India
continues to expand its dealer network. It now has 279 sales points and 272 authorized
service outlets across the country.
