Spy pic of Chevrolet Captiva. Now launched!

Thats a nice looker. If it comes with an adequate common-rail at 15 lakhs, I'll look to be amongst the first in the buyer's list

DCEite · 21st July 2007, 13:33

Looks better than the CRV IMO.

rubin2006 · 21st July 2007, 13:39

It looks better than most except for crv (but its not even anything less than crv) but diesel is an added advantage and if they price it right like below 14 Ex Delhi then it might be a good seller ,and when it comes to pricing even GM can surprise like Maruti

MaserQ · 21st July 2007, 13:52

she is a looker no doubt. Common rail and a bit of common sense pricing should make this one a sure winner.

Sloppy handling, lumpy ride, not as accomplished as a Tuscon

Oh that doesn't sound good especially since chevy's here are known for their exemplary ride and neutral handling.

If I know Chevrolet, their pricing is going to be not-so-common-sense and that is the area they'll mess up first. Will have to wait and see but I dont think they'll prove me wrong

I believe so too Ajmat. A little birdy told me the exact same thing

Which version did you drive? The petrol I drove didnt have SLOPPY handling (not so great maybe, but def not sloppy) and it did have a decent ride.

It had a large and rather anaemic V6 petrol engine, though. The Tuc feels better because its lighter and smaller.

saw the tv advt last day on a channel (think asianet) though the time slot was for gulf people and hence the advt for them

Nice find tushky, CAPTIVA is quite a looker. If GM prices it right, than the segment is in for some serious competition.

BUSA · 23rd July 2007, 09:41

@ V - 16, looking at how they got the Optra Magnum price bang on i expect GM to do the same with the Captiva.

khanak · 23rd July 2007, 12:07

Chevrolet is really getting active in the India. Looks like theyre all set to capture a good share of the rapidly growing Indian Market

Has the captiva been launched,spotted a GJ registered[permanent registration] captiva in Pune city.

Looked very well maintained and clean[inspite of the rains] so much so that it did not look like a test vehicle at all[no camouflage as well].
