Holden Captiva
Call it a paradox. Call it a misnomer. But Sports Utility
Vehicles are seldom sporty, and fewer still offer real utility.
Some are all show and no go. Others are great for short
trips but grate over long distances. Some look big and
unwieldy, or at least feel that way to drive. And most are
designed to go no further off road than a car park.
Now. Finally. There’s one SUV that lives up to
the mantle. Seating for seven. Up to 1,565 litres
of storage. High output V6 or 4-cylinder turbo
diesel engine. 5-speed automatic transmission
with Active Select. Active All Wheel Drive. Advanced
safety systems, including Active Rollover Protection,
curtain airbags and Electronic Stability Control.
And most important of all, Holden’s legendary ride
and handling – on road and off.
All in a vehicle no larger than a mid-sized sedan.
Holden Captiva 7. Three brilliant models: SX, CX
and LX. One tough choice.
Captiva 7 heralds a new generation in SUV thinking,
styling, safety and performance. No shortcuts.
No shortcomings. No compromise. Now, wherever
you go, you really can enjoy the journey as much
as your destination.
Holden Captiva 7. It takes sports utility motoring
to new heights.

From simple yet critical features – like large side mirrors, lap/sash
seatbelts for every seat position, anchorages for three child restraints
and childproof rear door locks – to advanced active and passive safety
technology, Captiva 7 goes to new heights to help prevent collisions
and protect you from injury in the event of collision.
Active safety
To help make your every journey
as safe as it is enjoyable, Captiva 7
monitors on-road dynamics every
moment that you’re driving.
Everything from the vehicle’s
speed, lateral acceleration and
rotation, to the steering wheel
angle and brakeforce you apply.
When normal tolerances are
exceeded, one or more active
safety systems initiate nonintrusive
counter measures
to help you retain maximum
control of the vehicle.
Passive Safety
In an accident, it’s the impact
energy of the collision versus
your vehicle’s safety systems.
That’s why Captiva 7 puts all these
features on your side:
– Dual front airbags
– Full length curtain airbags
– Front and rear crumple zones
– Multiple load paths to channel
impact energy away from the
vehicle’s high strength steel
safety cell
– A fuel tank mounted forward
of the rear axle
– Reinforced front doors, B pillars
and rear section

A superbly realised cabin
It’s an easy climb into the driver’s seat, but the views
from Captiva 7 are breathtaking.
Ahead, there’s more road than you could ever hope to
see from a sedan. In front, a dash of style and substantial
thoughtfulness. And all around you, the wide open
spaces and craftsman-like attention to detail of the superbly
realised cabin.
Fusing classic and modern design cues, Captiva 7 displays
primary driver information via a cluster of easy-to-read
analogue instruments, and faultless logic in the
dramatic cascade of its centre console controls – close
for easy reach, large for easy grip and clearly defined
for ease of operation, they make it easy to adjust your
driving environment without losing focus on the road.
Driving safety is further enhanced by steering mounted
controls, which allow you to operate Captiva 7’s MP3
compatible CD audio system and cruise control
without taking your hands from the wheel. Controls
for lamps, indicators, door and tailgate locks, wipers,
side mirrors and windows are also placed intuitively
and within easy reach.
Numerous other features are also close at hand, including
leather wrap steering wheel, vanity mirrors, map lamps,
sunglasses holder and adjustable headrests for the
driver and front passenger; three 12-volt power outlets;
load tie-down hooks in the cargo area; and a plethora
of on-board storage compartments. All standard across
all models.
Setting new standards in value for money, the Capitva 7 SX
includes air conditioning, with the CX adding electronic
climate control, multifunction driver information display
and a six speaker, six-disc CD audio system.
Anything but standard, the luxurious LX model includes
integrated satellite navigation, rear view camera,
7" multifunction colour touch screen display, USB and
SD connectivity with audio and video playback, six-disc
CD audio system, twin-needle stitched leather appointed
seating and eight way power driver’s seat with adjustable
lumbar support – the whole box and dice.
Designed to please. Built to last. Inside and out. On road
and off. Holden Captiva 7 takes sports utility motoring to
new heights in every way.

Two exceptional engines. One endlessly exhilarating driving
experience. Whether you have the 3.2 litre Alloytec V6 petrol engine
under the bonnet of your Captiva 7, or the 2.0 litre Common Rail
Turbo Diesel, you can look forward to motoring that’s every bit as
free-spirited as you are.
| Alloytec V6 |
|
Common Rail Turbo Diesel |
The Holden V6 range includes some of the most
sophisticated and advanced
production engines ever
manufactured in Australia.
And the high output 3.2 litre
Alloytec V6 – purpose-designed –
is no exception.
Maximum power: 169kW#^
Maximum torque: 297Nm#
Maximum driving pleasure guaranteed
thanks to an array of performanceenhancing
technology:
– Aluminium construction means a
better power-to-weight ratio, and also
allows the engine to withstand higher
combustion temperatures for optimal
efficiency and minimal emissions.
– Dual continuous variable cam phaser
and a variable intake manifold improve
performance and torque, while at the
same time reducing fuel consumption.
– Electronic Throttle Control, for improved
launch and sportier acceleration with
optimal fuel efficiency.
– Adaptive spark control, enabling the
engine to run with maximum efficiency
on either unleaded or premium
unleaded fuel (91 or 95 RON).
– A transverse, four point neutral torque
axis mounting system to minimise
engine noise and vibration, especially
when idling.
– Euro IV compatibility means exhaust
emissions are below that currently
required by Australian legislation.
On road or off, with its extra wide torque
curve and effortless, sports-like response
across a broad range of revs, the Alloytec
V6 will never miss an opportunity
to delight the driver in you.

New era diesel technology for
a new generation of savvy SUV
drivers, Captiva 7’s Common Rail
Turbo Diesel engine offers all the
benefits of diesel power with none
of the traditional downsides.
Quiet. Smooth. Responsive. Reliable.
Incredibly fuel efficient. Euro IV emission
standard compliant. The 2.0 litre four
cylinder delivers potent turbocharged
performance with enormous torque
on tap from low revs through to high.
Hill ascents, overtaking and towing
couldn’t be easier or more enjoyable.
It’s the state-of-the-art common rail
fuel delivery that makes the difference.
By keeping fuel under constant pressure
within the engine system, it enables
electronic fuel injectors to release
precisely the right amount of fuel into
the engine cylinders at precisely
the right time.
This results in vastly more efficient
fuel combustion, producing an
enormous boost in engine torque and
power across a wide rev range, plus
substantially reduced engine emissions.
All of which helps explain why common
rail diesel is the fastest growing engine
technology in the world. Just as numbers
like these explain why this turbo diesel
is likely to attract the same interest in
Australia:
– Maximum power of 110kW# at 4000rpm
– Maximum torque of 320Nm# at 2000 rpm
– 24% more fuel efficient than
the Captiva 7 Alloytec V6*
– 25% less CO2 emissions than
the Captiva 7 Alloytec V6^
