A choice of 3 engines, including...
A powerful 4-cylinder with unbeaten fuel efficiency in the petrol 7-seater class, a next generation Spark Ignition Direct Injection (SIDI) V6 and one of the most fuel efficient Turbo Diesel engines in its class.
Under the bonnet you'll find a 4-cylinder petrol engine with unbeated fuel efficiency in the petrol 7-seater class. The 2.4L 4-cylinder engine is spirited on the open road and zippy around the city.

Bio-ethanol. The intelligent fuel of the future.
Available across the petrol Captiva range, you now have the flexibility to run your Captiva on petrol or Bio-ethanol. Bio-ethanol is a cleaner burning energy source that contains up to 85% ethanol that not only shrinks emissions, it actually enhances engine performance.
*Only available on Captiva Petrol models.

6 speed Automatic
The 6-speed automatic transmission is designed with wide gear ratios to maximise acceleration, optimise fuel economy at cruising speeds and minimise engine noise, this sophisticated 6-speed automatic transmission shifts with phenomenal speed and almost imperceptible smoothness. Available with your choice of engine, it features Active Shift Control, which monitors the way you drive and adapts shift ranges accordingly, and Active Select, which lets you switch to manual gear shifting for a more `hands on' driving experience.
Two Wheel Drive
For improved fuel economy around town and on the open road, Captiva 7 SX comes with Two Wheel Drive.
SIDI Direct Injection V6
Key SIDI engine features:
- more precisely controlled fuel delivery
- increased cylinder air intake
- increased cylinder compression ratio
- aluminium engine block and cylinder heads
- quad cam phasing with variable timing on both inlet and outlet values and
- optimised exhaust manifolds with close-coupled catalytic converters

Active All Wheel Drive*
The Captiva 7 Active All Wheel Drive System automatically divides engine torque between the front and rear wheels, depending upon driving conditions. The moment the vehicle's sensors detect a situation where four wheel drive would be preferable, up to 50% of engine torque is directed to the rear wheels. As a result, the vehicle's full power is transferred to the road, even in tight corners, during hill starts or on slippery surfaces, such as wet or icy roads.

Powerful 2.2L Turbo Diesel Engine
The Captiva 2.2L Turbo Diesel engine is equipped with a high-pressure common rail fuel injection system and advanced electronically controlled variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) with intercooler. The end result: it is one of the industry's most powerful and fuel-efficient diesel offerings. Diesel engine is optional.

For improved fuel economy around town and on the open road, Captiva 7 SX comes with 2-wheel drive.
Active All Wheel Drive*
The Captiva 7 Active All Wheel Drive System automatically divides engine torque between the front and rear wheels, depending upon driving conditions. Normally, Captiva 7 is driven from the front wheels only, resulting in greatly improved fuel economy compared with traditional four wheel drive systems. However, the moment the vehicle's sensors detect a situation where four wheel drive would be preferable, up to 50% of engine torque is directed to the rear wheels. As a result, the vehicles's full power is transferred to the road, even in tight corners, during hill starts or on slippery surfaces, such as wet or icy roads. The Captiva 7 Active All Wheel Drive is also fully integrated with the the vehicle's Electronic Stability Control and Anti-lock Braking System and can be deployed automatically to counteract vehicle instability in a range of situations.
