    Chevrolet Captiva is going to get a whole new look in the coming months. The facelift of Captiva was doing some rounds lately and the fresh model has finally been caught testing near Chevrolet's plant in India. The Chevrolet Captiva was launched in India two years back and the sales of this soft roader have started to decline at 150 units per month. At Paris Motor show 2010, Chevrolet exposed the 2012 Captiva that would substitute the current Captiva in the respective markets. Wrapped mule of 2012 Chevrolet Captiva was grabbed by paparazzi and startling differences were found on the upcoming SUV as compared to the extant version of Chevrolet Captiva.

    To start with the changes observed, a large grille is dominating the front glimpse of 2012 Chevrolet Captiva now. The new Captiva wears Chevrolet's new design philosophy with the angular headlights as compared to horizontally placed headlamps in present Captiva SUV. The cosmetic changes accounting for the new look are more appealing and strongly adhere on the 2012 Chevrolet Captiva. The refreshed version will come with a more sporty and aggressive stance as compared to the current Captiva. The new Captiva will continue using the same 2 litre diesel engine that powers the current Captiva, however a slightly tweaked engine can make way which can accelerate the fuel economy.

    The tail lights are similar to the ones on the current model and the rear and the side profile of the car have not been touched much. On the inside, there is the typical dual cockpit design that you may have seen on the Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Beat. Two tone interior – black and grey are well expected of this model. General Motors says that they have taken great strides to improve the quality of materials used in the new car. Other new features in the list of facelift includes a touchscreen infotainment system, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Traction Control System (TCS), Braking Assist System (BAS), Front-, side- and head curtain airbags, Hill Start Assist, Auxiliary input, USB-port and Bluetooth connectivity.
