We're yet to drive this version of the Captiva, but as soon as we do, our verdict will appear here online.
There are two 2.2-litre turbodiesel engines in the Chevrolet Captiva range. The entry-level 161bhp version is only available with basic LS trim, front-wheel drive and, crucially, five seats.
If you want seven seats, you’ll have to upgrade to both the more powerful 181bhp engine and to LT trim – that makes seven-seat Captivas more expensive than they should be. Still, you get plenty of luxury kit for your cash, and the third row of seats gets a decent amount of space.
Like the LT models, LTZ models have seven seats and four-wheel drive only. They come stuffed with just about every creature comfort imaginable, but cost more than you’ll probably want to pay for a Chevrolet.
Whichever Captiva you choose, though, you’ll get peace of mind from Chevrolet’s Five Year Promise. This is a standard package that gives you five years' warranty, servicing and roadside assistance for no extra charge.
