Chevrolet Captiva [2012-2016] User Reviews

Usually we know that chevrolet cars do not give as much mileage as hyundai and maruti.But they are very stylish and big.Chevrolet captiva has more space and it accomadates upto 7 people.People above six feet can sit comfortably and it has a good suspension.The power steering is good.It also has a high power engine.This is a good car.But buyers should not care about the mileage.Very good style,more spacious,very good interiors,very high,very long,power steering,ABS.Bad fuel economy,Needs more space to turn,more price.

Exterior

Good cool looks, not as attractive as Toyota Fortuner looks. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Better than Toyota Fortuner or any other car in the segment

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

Excelent. Can some body compare the engine performance and driving comfort with Toyota Fortuner?

Ride Quality & Handling

Excelent. This car can be considered as the best machine in this segment with optimum reqd engine power (not excess).

Final Words

Should have been multi row AC at least second row duct is must. This GM should understand for indian hot conditions in May n June which is also unfortunately the holiday for chileren n family for going out long. Also it seems Gm are not seriously interested to market it. It is being sold on quality bassis. It is the time in india that people want to see adds of their cars on media n every where. The waiting on the cars

Excelent EngineeringAt least duct in second row roof for AC is must

 

Exterior I love the exterior looks and the aggressive stance.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Roomy interiors, good leg space for 2nd row seats as well. I wish the driver seat were 6 inces higher to give a higher seating, though its not really an issue. The dash fascia is not not as well organised  as I would have liked. For instance the side view mirrors  switch is not something you want to adjust when driving, being located inconveniently. What i really like is the way the 3rd row folds in , flush into the floor. Getting isn and out of the car is a breeze, unless you are wearing a saree!

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I did not feel any lag in the  autobox and the car has terrific acceleration and you can barely feel the gears  shifting. The 4 disc brakes are outstanding.Too early to comment on fuel  economy though I got 10 kms  so far.

 

Ride Quality & Handling The suspension is tight , meant for a pseudo SUV, but not bad at all for a SUV. Its quite comfortable and  sedan like , though the  2nd row passengers may not always agree. The handling is good , though the turning radius could be tighter.

 

Final Words I considered the santa fe,  and the TATA  stable. The former is too expensive and latter is  just not good enough. The scorpio is too bouncy. I wouldn't btouch the Skoda yeti , from what I know of the after sales  problems  , skoda owners face.  The endy was too huge for my liking.  Among all these , i found the captiva  well balanced in terms of comforts, features, economy and the pricing. I am having fun driving it.

 

Areas of improvement I would be happy to have cruise control, auto headlamps and  redesigned cfront console witha  port for music. Nothing i acnt live  without though. What really should be upgraded is the music system, which is below expectations.

 

looks, good drive, acceleration and brakesNo AC for rear seats, music system is below par

I WANT TO AWARE ALL THE READERS RE WHO ARE PLANNING TO BUY CAPTIVA, AT THE TIME OF BOOKING DEALER PROMISE TO DELIVER WITHIN 2 MONTHS AFTER TWO MONTHS I CALLED THEM THE DEALER DID NOT ANSWER PROPERLY AND DID NOT RESPOND ANY THING RE DELIVEY FOR CAPTIVA WHEN I FORCED THEM TO DELIVER THE CAPTIVA IMMEDIATELY THEY ASKE TWO LACS CASH PREMIMUME FOR CAPTIVA, I MAKE THIS IN NOTICE TO COUSTOMER CARE OF GM , HE REPLIED THAT THE DELIVERY FOR CAPTIVA IS 4 MONTHS.BE AWARE AT TIME OF BOOKING CAPTIVA AT TIME OF BOOKING DELR PROMS TO DELVER WITHIN 2 MONTHS,AFTER TWO MONTHS DEALER DID NOT RESPOND AND DID NOT REPLY RE DELIVERY.

Modern design, good dynamics and multi interior makes Chevrolet Captiva worthy representative of its class. Chevrolet Captiva has sufficient room for accommodating five adults easily. This car is 4.6m long, 1.8m wide and 1.7m high, with a wheelbase of 2.7m. When going out in short drives, the third row of seats in the Chevrolet Captiva can seat two teenagers and also grownups. The model comes fitted with a 17 inch alloy wheels, leveling suspension, partially leather trim, heated windscreen and the electronic stability monitoring system.

The car is offered with three different types of engines: two petrol and one diesel. Diesel aggregate volume of 2.0 l/150 litres. Tractors and modification of Captiva in Russia would not be sold. So to choose among the options of four with two petrol engines (2.4 l/136 litres, V6 and 3.2 l/230. C). V-shaped "six" good leads 1770 kg Captiva, coupled with the 5-step automatic transmission and car Pick accelerates to 100 km / h in less than 9.

Boot quite impressive, but if the rear seats down, the area of valuable space will be doubled. The rear seats can be folded and on parts (in the ratio of 60/40). Put down all passenger seats, the load will increase to 1565 litres. Incidentally, for the convenience of downloading Captiva can be opened separately glass back door. Inside storage is a small stowage has a glove box, which has cooled. In front door pockets than in a card for a round niches for litre bottles of water, for example.

Inside comfort can count up to seven passengers. The basic version is for five people. The various planes govern seats. Rudder also can tailor the height and tilt corner. He made audio control panel, as well as, in some assembly, and even buttons for the cruise control system.

Altogether its feel great to have this car :)

Good Style and Interior, Comfort, Smooth Drive and Ample spaceFuel economy

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Car,s door make noise when u open it.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox 6kmpl,Chevorlet make us fool that the engine is refined but it releases black emission for 10000 km(says the sales manager,regent automobiles)I have bought it 2 months before and the whole body of car makes noise and when I complained about it the just washed the car and said the car is alright.

 

Ride Quality & Handling New car alignment is out.U cannot use the rear view mirror as nothing is visible in it.

 

Final Words DO NOT EVER BUY A CHEVY CAPTIVA!

 

Areas of improvement THE WHOLE CAR HAS TO BE IMPROVED!

FIRST OF ALL COMPANY SHOULD IMPROVE DEALERS AND AFTER SALE SERVICES FOR THE CUSMORS! THE SALES MANAGER MAKES A PHONE CALL AND SAYS THAT IF ANY PROBLEM PLEASE COME TO US.I ALSO HAD PURCHASED A NEW CHEVY BEAT WHICH I HAVE TO SELL DUE  TO A VERY POOR AVERAGE OF 8KMPL.AFTER COMPLAINING THE COMPANY ASKS FOR THE CARS AND REDO THE PROGRAMMING.THE PROGRAMMING WAS DONE 5 TIMES BUT NO IMPROVEMENT WAS SHOWN.I RECOMMEND EVERYONE NOT TO BE A FOOL OR IDIOT TO BUY A CHEVY CAR.THEY ARE SOMETHING ELSE BEFORE SELLING A CAR AND SOMETHING ELSE AFTER THE CAR IS SOLD.

 

Good LookingBody vibration, Very bad black emission

Exterior

 Good and sporty,has the muscle of 4wd

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

Decent,however could have been better.

The music player is old and outdated.

Only a single Cd player comes fitted.

NO usb connection

The 3rd row seating is not recommended for Adults specially on drives over 100 km.

The 3rd row seating is far more comforatable than Toyota Fortuner and Mitsubishi Pajero sport.

Turbo,intial pickup,Turning radius,soft steering,brakes,high visibility,cooling,fuel economyHard clutch,engine noise after 50000 kms,expensive service,no vents at the back

 

Exterior Sexy!

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very comfortable front and middle row seats with lots of leg room. ( i am 6feet 2 and did not have any problem with leg room even in the middle row) of course the last row is for kids.

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent did a 4000 km road trip during the peak of monsoon and enjoyed every singe moment. AWD really came in handy when driving through slush pulled through without any struggle.

 

Ride Quality & Handling One of the best I have owned and driven. Pushed it to a max of 170KM and still the road grip was surprisingly good and the car was stable. For a SUV it handles corners very well.

 

Final Words One of the best SUV's value for money. average about 11KM on high ways and about 10 KM in city with AC . 

 

Areas of improvement Initial response between the pedal and pick up slightly lags by about 8 to 10 secs. once the engine revs up there is no lag.

 

Good Style. Excellent riding comfort drives like a sedan. Love the suspension and road clearence.no on board Navigation system.

The captiva captivates all in all segments. those who aspire to own it should have some money kept aside for their dream car. Very elegantlly built with all safety features and all the space you got in the world.Very classy Design and superbclimate control.Speaking about the engine.... very good for highwa and off road driving. The effort to drive is very easily managed by the guidance assist system. Technically ahead of other cars in the category the car comes with a good some of money...those who own it must maintain the MUSCLE POWER with all means.😎

SUPERB ENGINE WITH MUSCLES and smooth RIDEnothing
