Holden Captiva MaXX

Image for item

Same DNA. Different SUV. With its elegant, sports-inspired exterior, sports-tuned ride and handling and luxurious, cockpit-like interior, the new Captiva MaXX sets a stunning new benchmark in high performance sports utility motoring. At home in the fast lane. At ease on and off the road less travelled. With room for five adults and a capacity to delight beyond all expectation, this is truly a Holden to behold.

Call it a paradox. Call it a misnomer. But Sports Utility Vehicles are seldom sporty, and fewer still offer real utility. Some are all show and no go. Others are great for short trips but grate over long distances. Some look big and unwieldy, or at least feel that way to drive. And most are designed to go no further off road than a car park. Now. Finally. Theres one SUV that lives up to the mantle. Seating for five or seven. Up to 1,565 litres of storage. High output V6 or 4 cylinder turbo diesel engine. 5-speed automatic transmission with Active Select. Active All Wheel Drive. Advanced safety systems, including Active Rollover Protection, curtain airbags and Electronic Stability Program. And most important of all, Holdens legendary ride and handling on road and off. All in a vehicle no larger than a mid-sized sedan. The new Holden Captiva. Four brilliant models: SX, CX, LX and Captiva MaXX. One tough choice. Captiva heralds a new generation in SUV thinking, styling, safety and performance. No shortcuts. No shortcomings. No compromise. Now, wherever you go, you really can enjoy the journey as much as your destination. The Holden Captiva. It takes sports utility motoring to new heights.

The new Captivas arching, beautifully streamlined contours are impossible to miss and even harder to ignore. Head on, Captivas high ground clearance gives it an imposing and purposeful presence. Its immense capabilities and capacity to please, expressed perfectly by the ready to go look of its dynamically sculpted front end. The poised, supremely confident stance. The seamless aerodynamic sweep of the roof and body lines. The tapered rear. The side fender vents, twin exhaust tips and horizontal bar emblazoned across the grille. Captiva is every inch a Holden. And proudly so. Safety and ergonomics further shape the vehicles design. Silver decorative skid plates and protective body and wheel arch mouldings combine form with function to safeguard the vehicle off road. Distinctive vertical tail lamps, centre high-mount stop lamp and large reversing indicators heighten on-road safety. Its wide doors and remote controlled opening tailgate window on Captiva* simplify vehicle entry, exit and cargo access. Bold. Sleek. Superbly proportioned. Strikingly individual. A design of the times, new Captiva is the shape of things to come in sports utility motoring.

People mover. Transport van. Urban warrior. Long-distance tourer. Off-road trekker. New Captiva is all this and more. Need to seat seven or at least be able to, just in case? The three-row seating in Captiva CX and LX lets you do just that, without compromising anyones comfort. No back seat passengers? Tilt the headrests down

for an uninterrupted rear view. Or use the 50:50 split feature in the third row and second row 60:40 split, to create whatever size and shape of cargo space you require. A flick of the wrist thats all it takes and seats disappear entirely, folding virtually flush with the floor. Even the front passenger seat folds down, allowing you to carry objects up to 2.7 metres in length. Flexibility is also the go in the five-seater Captiva SX and range-topping Captiva MaXX, which offer 930 and 865 litres of cargo storage, respectively, with second row seating folded away. Both models also offer substantial below cargo floor storage, with the SXs 140 litre space even including separate wet and dry compartments. In fact, depending on the model you go with, youll find as many as 25 individual storage compartments integrated into the cabin. From the handy coin and parking ticket holders for the driver, to seat back pockets, console bins, cup holders and door wells large enough to hold one litre water bottles. Not to mention a cooled glovebox and roof rails, both standard on the Captiva MaXX and LX. With a place for everyone and everything in its place, the adaptable, practical new Captiva makes every journey that much easier.

Bitumen or dirt track. Fair weather or foul. New Captiva delivers precise, composed and consistent handling across the best and worst of Australias myriad driving conditions. The responsive power steering ensures enhanced road feel and linear response at all speeds, allowing you to drive Captiva intuitively in all situations. Tight parking spots. Twisting country roads. Fast moving freeways. Its all the same. The vehicles suspension was calibrated on Australian roads, for Australian drivers. MacPherson struts up front. Independent four-link axle at the rear. Taking the rough with the smooth, the finely tuned shock absorbers, spring rates and stabiliser bars deliver a dynamic yet refined sedan-like ride. Comfort, handling and safety on Captiva SX diesel, CX and LX are further enhanced by hydraulic ride control, which automatically adjusts the vehicles suspension dampers to help maintain a level ride height.

Holdens Active All Wheel Drive is standard across all four models. Continually monitoring the vehicles progress, it determines whether front wheel or four wheel drive is required for optimum traction, and instantly re-directs power accordingly, up to a 50:50 split. This not only improves on-road safety, it improves fuel economy, because engine power is not wasted driving the rear wheels unnecessarily. Captivas Electronic Stability Program further heightens driving safety. Integrated with the vehicles Active All Wheel Drive and ABS systems, it applies braking and/or adjusts power to each wheel individually, helping keep Captiva on the course you intend and away from potential danger. Sounds impressive? Wait until you get behind the wheel. Then factor in the price. New Captiva is the complete package.

Its an easy climb into the drivers seat, but the views from Captiva are breathtaking. Ahead, theres more road than you could ever hope to see from a sedan. In front, a dash of style and substantial thoughtfulness. And all around you, the wide open spaces and craftsman-like attention to detail of the superbly realised cabin. Fusing classic and modern design cues, Captiva displays primary driver information via a cluster of easy-to-read analogue instruments, and faultless logic in the dramatic cascade of its centre console controls close for easy reach, large for easy grip and clearly defined for ease of operation, they make it easy to adjust your driving environment without losing focus on the road. Driving safety is further enhanced by steering mounted controls, which allow you to operate Captivas MP3 compatible CD audio system and cruise control without taking your hands from the wheel. Controls for lamps, indicators, door and tailgate locks, wipers, side mirrors and windows are also placed intuitively and within easy reach. Numerous other features are also close at hand, including leather wrap steering wheel, vanity mirrors, map lamps, sunglasses holder and adjustable headrests for the driver and front passenger; three 12-volt power outlets; load tie-down hooks in the cargo area; and a plethora of on-board storage compartments.

Active All Wheel Drive (AWD)The All Wheel Drive system is 'Active Torque on Demand'. An electronically controlled electro-hydraulic differential ensures the best possible torque distribution between the front and rear axles. As driving conditions dictate, the rear axle is employed via an electronically controlled electro-magnetic coupling to give increased traction. The torque split ratio between front and rear wheels is variable in real time depending on the driving conditions.
BrakesFour wheel disc. Ventilated discs - front and rear
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)4-channel, 4 sensor
Traction Control System (TCS)When sensors detect imminent wheel spin, engine torque is reduced. If one wheel starts to spin, braking is applied to transfer torque to the wheel(s) with better traction
Brake Assist (BA)Provides additional braking assistance by allowing the driver to reach ABS threshold sooner and therefore help to reduce stopping distances
Electronic Stability Program (ESP)Assists the driver in emergency situations by providing correction to the intended vehicle path, which may help the driver to avoid obstacles and reduce slides. This is accomplished via individual brake application and engine torque control.
Descent Control System (DCS)Utilises the active braking capability of the ESP to maintain a controlled speed when travelling down hill
Active Rollover Protection (ARP)ARP is designed to reduce the risk of rollover when lane changing and cornering; working in conjunction with the ESP system
