Powertrain The Captiva Sport’s Ecotec 2.4L engine is rated at 182 horsepower (134 kW) and is matched with a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine is efficient and lightweight, featuring dualoverhead cams, direct injection, continuously variable intake and exhaust timing and electronic throttle control, as well as a lightweight aluminum cylinder block and cylinder head. The transmission features a driver-selectable Eco mode that helps save fuel. When the driver engages Eco mode by pushing a button near the shifter – indicated by an “eco” indicator light that illuminates on the instrument panel and an ECO MODE ON message on the driver information center – the transmission will shifter sooner and downshift later, the torque
converter clutch will apply sooner and stay on later, the engine controller will more aggressively shut off fuel during deceleration and the overall driving performance will be more conservative. Driving experience At the core of the Captiva Sport is a European-inspired driving character, with a stiff, steel bodyframe integral structure complemented by a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and independent multi-link rear suspension. An isolated engine cradle enhances quietness and contributes to a smooth ride. Standard on all models are four-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock, traction control and StabiliTrak electronic stability control – systems that work together to provide outstanding vehicle control. Seventeen-inch wheels are standard on LS and LT models, while 18-inch wheels are standard on LTZ. A trailering package is available on all models and include a hitch and wiring harness. Safety and crash-avoidance features In addition to handling features such as StabiliTrak that help drivers avoid crashes, the Captiva Sport helps protect occupants with its high-strength steel structure and a long list of standard occupant-protection safety features. Dual-stage front-seat air bags, front-seat side thorax air bags and rollover capable head curtain air bags covering front and rear rows are standard on all models. Other standard safety features include front-row safety belt pretensioners, a pedal release system that decouples the brake pedal in a crash to avoid injuries, active head restraints, tire pressure monitoring system, automatic power door locks and side turn signal lamps. A rearview camera system, which helps drivers detect objects directly behind the vehicle, and ultrasonic rear parking assist are standard on LTZ and available on LS and LT models. Captiva Sport and OnStar Six months of OnStar Directions and Connections service is standard on Captiva Sport.
