A new 150bhp 2.0-litre diesel is expected to be the most popular powerplant, although a 2.4-litre petrol unit will be available, too. Chevrolet is also planning to develop a 120bhp oil-burner, although bosses have decided against fitting it in the Captiva, instead earmarking it for the Lacetti hatch. A powerful range-topping 3.2 V6 Captiva won"t come to the UK, due to the low demand for thirsty off-roaders here.
Emergency telephones...
Emergency telephones along a main trunk road could be removed due to high costs and a lack of use, a council has warned.
Devon County Council, which provides the phones for the North Devon Link Road, said it shelled out ÷£7,000 on rental and repair in 2006, but only ÷£7.19 was spent on calls. Local councillors are being asked for their views on the devices being withdrawn.
