The new Captiva V6 will surpass the current model’s 169kW by retaining the same 190kW power output as the Commodore, though it produces slightly less torque – 290 v 297Nm.

In the style of the front, the upgrade of Captiva gets a fresh face with new headlamps and a redesigned front fascia, with the Chevrolet grille design to date – most recently seen in last week’s new Aveo, which can be replaced Barina in 2011. Despite the Chevy grille gives way to a face more suited to local taste , the new flagship of the transition was likely that the Australian Captiva and should fit well with the lights of the VE Commodore Series II style.

The re-shaped and sharply sculptured bonnet, a new larger grille, prism style headlamps and integrated LED turn signals on the outside rear view mirrors, are certain to stay for the 7 and Captiva 5 as the models are known in Australia.

Holden’s parent company General Motors hasn’t revealed fuel consumption figures but the V6 should also be more efficient than the 11.5/100km consumption of the outgoing V6 that is a shrunken version of Holden’s 3.6-litre ‘Alloytec’. It achieves economy of 9.1L/100km in the Commodore.

European Captivas will also be offered with the V6, while in the other direction lower trim levels of the Holden version are likely to borrow the Chevrolet’s new 126kW 2.4-litre four-cylinder and 135kW 2.2-litre turbo diesel.

The petrol engine is a 23kW hike over the current 2.4 that powers the five-seater Captiva in Australia; both new diesels have a superior output to the existing 110kW 2.0-litre.
