A Versatile SUV – The Chevrolet Captiva

There are many SUV’s in the marketplace with some obviously being better than others. The Captiva from Chevrolet is best described as being a vehicle that is a cross between an SUV and a family car; it therefore provides a unique mixture of the two types. In fact, the Captiva is very much a family-orientated SUV and its layout has been designed with families very much in mind. With a total of up to seven seats, this is one Chevrolet that is definitely roomy and allows for a lot of storage. The cars features are top of the range, which is another advantage for owning a new or used Chevrolet Captiva. Available in three trims; Captiva LS, Captiva LT and the Captiva LTZ, Chevrolet have certainly delivered with this particular vehicle. From the outside it looks a little bit like a BMW X5 / X6, which is very much a high end compliment. With 18 inch alloy wheels available as well as rain sensor wipers and privacy glass, the Chevrolet Captiva delivers small but impressive features that make the vehicle such an impressive SUV. Available in both the 5 speed manual and 5 speed automatic transmissions, the Captiva excels and also offers decent fuel consumption levels for a vehicle in its class. When buying an SUV you need to consider many things such as the sturdiness of the outer shell, the overall performance of the engine and fuel economy, as well as the safety features. Fortunately for new and used Chevrolet car buyers, the Captiva has all of this plus much more, which is why it is so popular in both the used Chevrolet marketplace and the new Chevrolet market. It really is a fantastic vehicle that, as noted above, will match perfectly to those wanting to purchase an SUV with a family look and feel.
