New Chevrolet Captiva and revised Tavera Neo3 unveiled

The Captiva will be available in a single trim, LTZ, and priced at an expected Rs. 22 lakhs, ex-showroom Delhi. Sporting a meatier grille that extends from the top of the hood to the base of the bumper, the new Captiva is a far better looking SUV than its predecessor. The Captiva comes with all-black interiors with added convenience features namely Cruise Control, Dual Row Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system, Electric Parking Brake, Rain Sensing wipers and electric sunroof. A standard Chevrolet 3 year/1,00,000 kms warranty will be on offer.
