2013 Chevrolet Captiva UK prices

Following its recent debut at the Geneva Motor Show, Chevrolet has now announced UK prices for the 2013 Captiva SUV.

Lead-in model for the range is the £21,295 front-wheel drive LS, which is powered by a 160 bhp (120 kW / 163 PS) 2.2 litre, four-cylinder diesel engine. Equipment levels are fairly basic but alloy wheels, a digital radio, electric windows all-round and remote control central locking are all fitted as standard.

However, anybody considering that particular variant might want to visit a Vauxhall dealer first. That’s because the virtually identical Antara in Exclusiv guise costs £20,915. What’s more, the Vauxhall’s specification additionally includes electrically-heated front seats, Bluetooth connectivity and self-levelling rear suspension.

In the middle of the Captiva line-up sits the LT. It features all-wheel drive and a more powerful 181 bhp (135 kW / 184 PS) version of the 2.2 litre engine, as well as self-levelling suspension, cruise control, dual-zone climate control, part-leather upholstery and rear parking sensors.

The third and final trim grade is the LTZ, which is priced from £29,995 with a manual transmission. It comes with heated front seats, power adjustment for the driver’s seat, full leather upholstery, keyless entry and start, an eight-speaker audio system, satellite navigation, a rear parking camera, front parking sensors, larger 19” alloy wheels and privacy glass.

A generous kit list then, but again the equivalent Vauxhall appears to offer better value. The similarly-specified Antara SE Nav carries a price tag of £27,325, a significant saving versus the Captiva.

2013 Chevrolet Captiva - UK Prices
2.2 VCDi LS £21,295
2.2 VCDi LT £26,995
2.2 VCDi LT Auto £28,430
2.2 VCDi LTZ £29,995
2.2 VCDi LTZ Auto £31,430

Compared to its predecessor, the changes made to the Captiva for 2013 are purely cosmetic. Up front, they consist of a lower bumper, revised fog lights and a new grille mesh design, while the rear gets LED light clusters and a re-profiled bumper.

The 2013 Chevrolet Captiva is available to order now.

Saab 9-3 Aero Carlsson

Image
Saab has got experience of producing special editions in honour of rally driver Erik Carlsson, having previously named versions of the 900 and 9000 after him during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now it has decided to do it again, this time to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Swedish driver’s first win in Britain’s RAC Rally, which was achieved at the wheel of a Saab 96. Thankfully, the company has resisted the urge to just bung some fancy alloys and a few other extra bits onto something like a mid-range diesel model. Instead, it appears to have resurrected the limited edition Turbo X from a couple of years ago, as the new edition similarly features a turbocharged 2.8 litre petrol V6, Saab’s XWD all-wheel drive system and a six-speed automatic gearbox. The result is the 9-3 Aero Carlsson saloon, which turns out to be a very rapid car. With 276 bhp (205 kW / 280 PS) and a healthy 400 Nm of torque, the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) dash takes just 6.9 seconds. But it’s in the mid-range t...

American spec Fiat 500

Image
Fiat has released the first details and images of the North American specification 500. The tiny city car will be available in Pop, Lounge and Sport trim levels, and is distinguished from the European version by its more aggressive front and rear bumpers, bigger grille and flared sills. Another unique feature is the engine. Fiat has decided to use the 1.4 MultiAir unit currently found in models such as the Fiat Punto Evo and Alfa Romeo MiTo. Perhaps it felt that using the forthcoming two-cylinder TwinAir in the American 500 would have been too much for markets there to take? There’s no word yet on what power output the MultiAir will have, although in its current applications it comes with either 103 bhp (77 kW / 105 PS), 133 bhp (99 kW / 135 PS) or 167 bhp (125 kW / 170 PS). Similarly, prices have yet to be confirmed, but hopefully both details will have been sorted out by the time the order book for the 500 hatch opens later this year. For convertible fans, the 500C is due ...
