Attractive Compact Crossover Design In Line With Existing Chevy Family Of Vehicles
The 2012 Chevrolet Captiva Sport is an all-new vehicle in the Chevy lineup. The small SUV shares its DNA with the former Saturn VUE, and is cousin to the Captiva much of Europe has enjoyed for years.
The Captiva Sport comes powered either by a 182-hp Ecotec 2.4L direct-injected 4-cylinder or a 264-hp 3.0L direct-injected V6 engine. Both are mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Captiva Sport comes with standard front-wheel drive, though an all-wheel-drive variant is available.
The 2012 Chevrolet Captiva Sport should be a refreshing alternative in an already-crowded compact crossover market. Eco-conscious consumers will enjoy the efficiency of the 2.4-liter Ecotec engine, while the available V6 is more than enough power to scoot the small vehicle quickly. Maximum cargo volume is an impressive 56.4 cubic feet, and the vehicle can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. Plenty of available options make it easy to outfit the Captiva Sport in a way that suits any buyer.
