Car Profiles - Chevrolet Captiva

CHEVROLET CAPTIVA

Silently marketed, the Captiva has a manageable size but other than exterior footprint, the Trailblazer becomes a solid pick. Unless you are tired of the mainstream options and find its bigger brother bulky, the Captiva is the pick. New Ecodrive option available for diesel 4x2 alongside a bigtime price drop.

The Good: Available seven seater option
The Bad: Not a solid performer

Price Range: P1,568,888-P1,868,888
