As to the vehicles equipped with rear glass is inclined upright angle, swift water is very rain blocked the view to the rear. But thanks to a tiny wiper sits there, driving a SUVon the road this becomes still fun.
Apparently, this is the reason why the vehicle was in great demand.
First time to watch figure of Chevrolet's new variant is labeled by Captiva SS emblems when it was introduced, we do not see any significant difference on the exterior. Only the back just that now looks more sporty thanks to hadirya bumper and dual exhaust hole.
Upon entering the spacious cabin, we do not also see a striking change. Only when turning the ignition there is a different look at the feet of his cluster. Alteration also recently felt when turn on the audio system now has been completed by ARKAMYS 3D Surround Sound.
Additional features of digital tech sound processing software is capable of making sound in the cabin Captive SS becomes more life and dimension. The voice that came out as if coming from a stage in front of the vehicle, whereas the position of the speakers are inclined below.
ARKAMYS 3D Surround Sound feature is also able to adjust the sound system centered to the driver. That is the sound that emerged from the speakers can be arranged as if the driver was in the middle of the stage even though the driver is not a true center position.
How about the operating functions of the audio settings on the mode of 'Driver'. If you want to divide the votes evenly to the other passengers, noise control features can be changed to the setting of 'passenger' so that the spread of the sound back to normal.
Options songs become enriched by the USB port and audio input jack on the bottom of the center cluster. Through both these facilities, we can play the songs available on mobile phones with sophisticated sound audio system presented Captiva SS.
To try out this vehicle maximally, we deliberately invite some colleagues to participate until the total amount of seven people. Initially one of the few colleagues' objected when she saw the number of seats that look Captiva can be filled only five passengers. "Well, we both sat on the trunk are you?" he asked, half in protest."Oh do not worry ... please," said one fellow as he deftly pulled two handle on the trunk floor to issue a bench sixth and seventh. And that's after he was told that there is a bench hidden in there.
One more prominent, although it's equally equipped with 2.4-liter engine capacity as the previous Captiva, Captiva SS machine has many experienced various improvements in an effort to improve performance and efficiency.
As a result, the engine now uses an aluminum block with aperture settings of DCVCP tech valve DOHC (Double Continuosly Variable Cam Phaser) is now able to burst the power up to 171 PS with 225 Nm of torsional strength.
The impact, LE-9-coded engine is very powerful down the traffic density. Automatic Transmission 6-speed Hydramatic type feels more solid channel spin machine to the front wheels. But sadly, this transmission feels a little sluggish when the SUV was invited to play on the floor of the freeway segment.
But it was not a serious problem. Because the automatic transmission developed by GM has a style sequential manual mode by moving the shift lever to the left from position D which makes galaknya machine can be more pronounced character.
When entering the corner, the size of the A pillar belonging to obstruct the view of drivers, especially following the side view mirror holder which makes the driver must slightly shift the head to overcome them.Fortunately, this vehicle has the posture of a fairly high so the view to monitor the surroundings become more liberal. In fact, this position seems to give a sense of confidence because of high feeling in all respects, including status.
A quite stunning on the Chevrolet Captiva SS suspension is a unique character. Generally, the suspension will be oversized soft character when invited to dance at high speeds on bumpy roads, but not so with the Captiva.
While at the time down the road the less civilized in the area of Serpong, suspension Captiva managed to reduce illegal movements tires properly so as not to disturb the comfort of the cabin. Even a fellow in the third row seat had fallen asleep when crossing contours of the road surface is brutal.
Knowing the character of such suspension, some time we overtake the vehicle in front as it passes through the dike speed trap (police sleep) without any doubt. Because when another vehicle forced to push the brake pedal, we actually step on the gas through the dike without worry of vehicle suspensions soar thanks to the travel distance is quite moderate.
When we entered the area of BSD, which since the clouds this afternoon menggayut in the sky, no longer Manahan power load. Heavy rain plus a fairly strong breeze eventually more traffic in the region make it increasingly less friendly.
