An updated and improved Chevrolet Captiva SUV was revealed in Malaysia, aiming to give the Hona CR-V and Nissan X-Trail a run for their money. This 7-seater vehicle happens to be the top of the line Captiva Diesel with an all-wheel drive. It has a 2.0 liter engine and has a 320Nm torque that promises to provide more kick for people cruising along town.

The Diesel version gets beige leather upholstery as standard, an 8-speaker sound system with MP3, USB and Bluetooth Audio support, ESP stability control with Active Rollover Protection, Hill Descent Control, and Traction Control.

Safety features for all Captivas include dual front airbags, ABS, disc brakes on all wheels and ISOFIX child seat points for the second row.

It looks like the UK car scrappage theme is leading the way towards new hope for car sales. Yesterday, Mazda was the car manufacturer that was getting back on its feet and now Chevrolet unveils its own program, offering a great deal that should lure in potential buyers for their Chevrolet Epica saloon and Chevrolet Captiva.

Chevrolet is offering the Chevrolet Epica saloon under the scheme from only £10,495 on-the-road and the Chevrolet Captiva from only £13,495, subject to a customer’s vehicle qualifying for the discount. To qualify, it must have been registered before August 31st 1999, have a valid MoT certificate and been registered to the same person as the all-new car for at least 12 months prior to being traded in as scrap.

Now how is that for a great deal? If things look up, don’t be surprised if other car manufacturers devise a trade-in deal of their own soon. Soon we may see a car scrappage scheme pricing war on the horizon which should benefit consumers all the more!
