Being not perfect, "Captiva" however, had lived a full five years without any changes. Well, it's time for a facelift, which should not only extend the life of the crossover, but also to pay his way for young people.
Chevrole-Captiva, start of sales-November 2011 As to what to say, the dread "Cappists" was boring for a whole mile. In spite of the spacious interior, decent finishing and decent terrain, this crossover could only please an experienced phlegmatics, for which in any car the idea of the practicality is set, and the concept of "design" describes the number of doors in the body, rather than artistic style. Sometimes it seemed as if the car had already been born. But the updated Chevy won't say that: it's going to be freshness! The feeling that Capptiva has been a lot of younger people over the years; and this story seems no less amazing than the life-description of Benjamin Button: this companion of Francis Scott Fitzgerald was born an 80-year-old man and a young life. It seems that the novelty in the exterior is on a dime, but a big two-storey grille radiator, cented on the cross, shining chrome "anti-manka" in triangular wells, headlights and 19-inch wheels-all these innovations are radically changing the mood. Calling the desire to ride in the car not on pressing matters, but simply for the sake of pleasure. The designers "rewrote" the central panel, thanks to which the salon now looks much more festive. She did not get rid of the holy simplicity, but it was much more modern-first of all at the expense of horizontal hives from the dark tree. The green lighting of the central console buttons changed to a much more pleasant blue. And the instrument of the instrument was becoming more readable, with contrasting, luminous pearl-white-white-light figures on top of a dark substrate. The century behind the window is like the design of a double cockpit performed in the "Cruz" and "Orlando" style. The light silvery paste is fresh and dingy, but with a finger on it, I felt a vexation: there is an inexpensive plastic that is not going to be called the imitation of metal. The same hinges on the type of substance are made and the interior handles, which unlock the doors. But this is no longer an eyesight-their strength does not give cause for doubt. In the rest of the "Captiva" salon, in which the unseen multimedia system with navigation and "Blues" has settled, it causes a sincere positive. But even more joy is brought by the new engine-163-strong turbodiesel, to which a 6-speed "mechanics" has been placed. By the way, I have been assured that this engine will also appear in Russia. In addition to it, petrol engines will also be mandatory: an old 2,4-litre, which significantly added to the capacity, and a new one, with a V6-liter V6 volume. I was ready for a turbodiesel. But the fact that he could be called a quiet one, impressed much more! It would seem that the climbing of the Serpentine climbing up the slope of the Alps can only be achieved at high turnover, accompanied by a supra-day buzz. No, the 2,2-liter diesel oil isn't just great at the bottom, but it has a strong "Captivu" at a height of 2,200 meters. On the other side of the road, I discover that it allows the car to be slowed down without being applied to the brake pedal. True, the long moves of the box do not always allow you to quickly insert the desired gear. But, by God, it is unlikely that such a crossover will be bought for speed slalom. And if there is a real coagus, it will not be sorely used to use the help mode of the descent, which is called by a specially trained button. The Kharism of Sheva became so powerful that his future possessor is more likely to be seen as a man of travelling who is not thought of by the green dacha fence, but of the prowyness beyond his bounds. Benjamin Button, if you remember, went on a trip when he was younger.
