Chevrolet has priced its new Captiva 4x4 from under £17,000, with first deliveries of the car expected in June.

The entry-level model is the £16,995 front-wheel drive, five-speed 2.4-litre petrol LS. It's the only petrol version in the range and comes with air-conditioning, a six-speaker CD player, tailgate with separate opening rear window, front, side and roof airbags, 16-inch alloys and roof rails.

Next up is LT trim, which brings a 2.0-litre diesel engine, four-wheel drive, 17-inch alloys, front foglights, a leather steering wheel and gearknob and an eight-speaker CD player. It costs £19,995, or £21,095 with seven seats.

If you really want to go to town, there's the top-of-the-range LTX, which comes with seven leather seats, 18-inch alloys, automatic lights and wipers, cruise control, a multi-function display panel, a radio with six-CD changer, climate control, and chrome detailing. It's £23,695 as a manual or £24,795 with automatic transmission.

The Captiva's keen pricing puts it head-to-head with the five-seater Nissan X-Trail, and makes it cheaper than the seven-seat Hyundai Santa Fe.
