The new SUV to captivate Australia!
Holden’s new sports utility vehicle will be called Captiva and powered by an
advanced new 3.2-litre Global V6 all-alloy engine made in Port Melbourne.
GM Holden Chairman and Managing Director, Denny Mooney, said Captiva would be
available with five or seven seats, electronic stability program (ESP) and an
active all-wheel-drive system.
“Captiva is a striking design with flexible seating and extremely competitive
equipment levels,” Mr Mooney said. “The production car remains very close to the
S3X concept which has impressed motor show crowds in Australia in the past few
months.”
“The extensive Australian input in Captiva covers the outside, inside and
underneath to ensure it looks, feels and drives as a Holden should. This vehicle
has been a missing link in our product line up and we believe there is strong
appetite for its arrival.”
“Captiva is Holden’s strongest move yet into the sports utility vehicle market
and it will represent great value and high specification.”
Holden Captiva will measure 4.635m long, 1.850m wide and 1.720m high, offering
spacious seating for five or a third row to fit seven people. High quality
materials will provide an impressive fit and finish to complement its
sophisticated and bold exterior design.
Captiva has a strong Australian influence, with former GM Holden-based designers
Mike Simcoe and Max Wolff involved in the car’s design team. GM Holden engineers
extensively tested Captiva around Australia and at GM Holden’s Lang Lang Proving
Ground, ensuring top class ride and handling for local conditions.
Captiva’s active all-wheel-drive system instantly employs the rear axle, as
driving conditions dictate, via an electronically controlled electro-magnetic
coupling to provide maximum traction.
This system also works seamlessly with ESP and ABS, enhancing driver control.
