I am going through deep Analysis in buying an Suv. at about 20lakh range, I think Captiva seems

better of them all. however, an automatic deisel would have been the ultimate best, even if they had increased the price to another 1 Lakh.

the space for back benchers is very tight. infact feels like a coffin space. suitebale for kids. people who have had the innova, would feel this, honestly.

Interiors are great plus for this segment. even beats the CRV outright. The console design is modernistic and looks elegant.

the engine, drive and the pick up to me seemed the best ( as compared to innova, CRv, )

lots of other features like the mororised seats (only driver I think) were definetly a boost.
however the major issue, I thought apart from not having Automatic, is the AC being not disturbuted to the back seaters. I wonder people hwo have designed this forgot to give independant AC controls.  most disgusting was this.

Otherwise, I think it is good proposition.
what remains is to see wether the resale Value holds good. all depends on Chverlet, if they could market this product better than CRv, remains to be seen.
