Because the crossover is based on a proven GM global architecture, only minor revisions are required to meet federal standards, allowing Chevrolet to fast-track the Captiva Sport for the United States. In Europe, General Motors sells the Chevrolet Captiva and the Opel Antara twins. Both of them received some customization from the Germans at Lexmaul Tuning. With the help of a new ECU software, the 150 hp diesel engine has been boosted to 180 hp, while the top speed has been limited to 145 mph due to the safety reasons.
This car is also sold in the United States as the Saturn Vue, which means the exterior set of new side sills and a front lip spoiler may be something that will fit stateside. Lexmaul offers the new kit at a price of $ 1,168 and a two years of warranty. The Chevrolet Captiva Sport features either an Ecotec 2.4L direct-injected four-cylinder or 3.0L direct-injected V-6 engine – each matched with a fuel-saving six-speed automatic transmission.
The Captiva Sport will be offered in LS and LT models, with four trim packages, including an all-wheel-drive model (LTZ). All models feature 17-inch aluminum wheels, XM Satellite Radio, six-speaker sound system, four-wheel disc brakes with antilock, traction control, StabiliTrak electronic stability control, air conditioning, power locks and windows (with driver’s express down) and remote keyless entry.
Uplevel LT and LTZ models include the V-6 engine (with dual exhaust), along with OnStar and Bluetooth phone connectivity. A rear-view camera and leather trim package – including leather-trimmed and heated front seats – are standard on LTZ and available on other trims. The LTZ trim also includes a 10-speaker sound system and a sunroof. The Chevrolet Captiva Sport will be available for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2011, as a 2012 model.
