2012 Chevrolet Captiva Sport, returns to the U.S. Antara

At the end of the year, Captiva Sport comes to America, but not exactly what we're thinking. This is a restyling of Opel Antara with bow tie, and in my opinion much more beautiful than the Antara 2011. This same vehicle was sold before and Saturn Vue, But this brand was one that GM recently uploaded.


The 2012 Chevrolet Captiva Sport will only be sold to fleet owners, not to individuals, provided with automatic transmission and front-wheel drive or full depending on the equipment. The engines will be two, or the 2.4 V6 3.0 L4 or both of new wave, and of course gasoline. The equipment is competitive in all cases.

Interestingly, the Captiva we know with that name is not sold in that country, SUV are smaller than the Equinox. At the same time, Spain has sold a Chevrolet Captiva Sport, But it was a normal variant of Captiva. Things are hard to understand globalization car.

The Captiva U.S. are made in the Mexican plant in Ramos Arizpe, not South Korea. For example, in Colombia the Captiva is sold with two different images: Captiva (Coinciding with the Captiva pre-styling European) and Captiva Sport (Coincides with the Antara "chevroletizado"), just like the to be sold in U.S..

Since we're talking a derivative of European Antara, has no more than five seats, or optional. The European Captiva only has five seats in the basic versionsAbove has a third row of seats and seven seats, which can be folded flat and hidden in the trunk.

Indeed, the Antara American who had earlier, Saturn Vue second generation had a very distinct body of first-generation Vue but the same platform, all-American design and came to have a hybrid version. The 2008 Saturn Vue on the market only lasted until Saturn passed away as a trademark.

Here you can see the differences between the Vue, were not exactly equal. But the 2008 Vue and 2012 Captiva Sport the differences are minimal. All Captiva and Antara for the European market are manufactured in South Korea, and are known in other markets with other brands such as Daewoo and GM Holden.
