Captiva prices and specs revealed

Details of Holden's long-awaited Territory challenger, the Captiva, have been outed on a Holden dealer's website. The details include specifications, pricing and model line-up.

The details were spotted by a keen-eyed regular CarPoint reader.

As detailed on CarPoint previously, the midsize SUV will launch without a turbodiesel engine and in all-wheel drive form only. It's understood the lack of right-hand drive turbodiesel cars has delayed the launch of the car in the UK, however, Holden will push on without the oiler to meet its October onsale Down Under. Tariff rules mean the imported (from Korea) Captiva will not be offered in two-wheel drive only.

The sole powertrain offered at launch will be an Australian-built Alloytec 3.2-litre V6 petrol engine. Detuned from its Commodore duties, the powerplant is more akin to the unit which features in the Rodeo. Peak power is 169kW power with torque pegged at 279Nm. It is matched to a five-speed automatic transmission with Active Select.

Claimed ADR81/01 combined fuel economy is 11.5lt/100km. By way of comparison the larger Territory is pegged at 12.2-12.8lt/100km for rear-wheel and all-wheel drive versions respectively.

As revealed on CarPoint three weeks ago, Captiva will be offered in four model variants: entry-level SX, CX, LX and a sporty MaXX (pictured). Prices kick off at $35,990 for the SX, with the CX $38,990. The up-spec LX will be priced at $41,990 and MaXX $42,990.

The Captiva will offer an attractive suite of equipment as standard. All the mod cons are included: driver and passenger airbags, aircon, cruise control, height and reach adjustable wheel, power mirrors, four-speaker MP3-compatible audio with steering wheel-mounted controls.

Alloy wheels (16-inch) are standard even on the SX and there's a serious kit of driver aids. Stability Control (ESP), traction control, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, brake assist and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) will all be standard. Hill Descent Control will also be offered as standard equipment across the range.

Though the entry-level SX is a five-seater, the CX and LX will come standard with a fold-flat third row and seat seven. All seven-seaters get auto level-ride rear suspension.

In addition, over and above the SX, the CX delivers six-spoke alloys, upgraded audio (six speakers, six disc) and side curtain airbags.

The LX sexes up the equation and comes with the sort of kit you’d expect from a range-topper. Leather upholstery, eight-way power adjustable driver's seat, more brightwork, 18-inch alloys, roof rails and climate control air are all included.

The top-of-the-range Captiva will be the five-seat MaXX. Though priced at $1000 more than the LX, the MaXX eschews level ride suspension and third row but gets bespoke metallic paint, black out sill panels, unique audio and other sports-orientated features.
