The CHEVROLET CAPTIVA (2011-15) 5DR SUV 2.2 VCDI DPF SS 163 EU5 LS 6SPD is a diesel family SUV, a practical alternative to a hatchback. In the UK used market it competes with models such as the Nissan X-Trail and Kia Sorento, for buyers wanting room at an accessible price. mycarcheck.com has recorded 24 checks covering seven different VINs: a useful snapshot, though not a huge sample. These checks show an average private-sale valuation of £3,400 and average recorded mileage of 75,000 miles. The cars averaged 5,000 miles annually and just over three previous keepers per vehicle in this sample. Its 163hp diesel engine and six-speed manual gearbox make it suited to family duties, luggage and longer journeys; like many diesel SUVs, it may be less ideal for repeated short trips. Against rivals, the Captiva’s appeal is generous space and used value, rather than cutting-edge tech or low running costs.
