Captiva for Geneva



Chevrolet's new Captiva, the first diesel powered compact SUV from the brand, will be launched at the Geneva Motor Show at the end of February.

The vehicle will be available with a 2-litre 150hp diesel and two petrol versions -- a 2.4-litre four and 3.2-litre V6.

The new diesel engine was jointly developed by GM Daewoo Auto & Technology Company, GM Powertrain and VM Motori and fuel consumption is 8.1 L per 100 km.
