The 2011 Chevrolet Captiva - More power. More practicality. More purpose.

Welcome to the all-new 2011 Captiva. A purposeful SUV with the looks you desire and the versatility you demand. Building on the success of the previous model, we’ve enhanced the New Captiva in every area and created a true do-it-all vehicle, as happy catering to sporty lifestyles as it is performing daily family duties.

With all that comes the reassurance of our 5 year warranty.

The 2011 Captiva has undergone some major enhancements under the bonnet, giving the car a new purpose. We’ve reflected this new intent by giving the car a powerful new look.

Every design decision we’ve made adds up to car that demands attention – a car as impressive to look at, as it is as to drive.

Everywhere you look the Captiva exudes a new level of quality and versatility.

The 7-seat Captiva models have three rows of modular seating that are as capable of transporting large loads as they are at accommodating up to seven people. Watch our Captiva interior and storage video to get the full impression of what this purposeful SUV is really like.

Under that sculpted hood, you’ll find one of two new powerful and efficient engines, boasting the latest manual or automatic six-speed transmissions for a powerful, yet smooth ride.

Diesel engines

The two 2011 diesel offerings won’t disappoint. Our new turbo-charged 2.2 Litre unit will be available in two power outputs of 163 or 184 PS. Not only are our new diesel units more powerful, but they also have much lower CO2 emissions, falling below taxation thresholds.

Transmission and drive options

Choose a manual or automatic with an override. Choose a front or on-demand four-wheel drive configuration. Whichever route you go, know that the standard Captiva chassis has been to honed for enhanced vehicle dynamics, improved cornering, and impressive roll characteristics, for an enjoyable drive every trip.

The Captiva boasts six airbags– dual front and side airbags for the driver and front passenger and curtain airbags for the outer rear passengers. Three-point seat belts with belt tensioners and belt force limiters look after those in the front seats, while ISOFIX anchor points are fitted to the outer seats of the second row, to facilitate the quick and secure fitting of child seats.

Keeping you reassured on the road is also a priority. Good to know, then, that a Traction Control System is keeping you planted, that Electronic Stability Control is eliminating over and under-steer, and that a Brake Assist System is ready and waiting to reduce braking distances in the event of an emergency. All these safety features come as standard.

Another smart safety first for the Captiva is Hill Start Assist which helps to prevent the "roll back" on hill starts.

Driving down-hill is easier to thanks to our Descent Control System. It’s a technology that automatically slows the vehicle on steep gradients, which means you don’t have to keep such a heavy foot on the brake pedal.

Watch the Captiva features video to see how the standard "Follow-me-home" headlamps and the optional parking camera both work.
