In Europe, General Motors sells the Chevrolet Captiva and the Opel Antara twins. Both of them received some customization from the Germans at Lexmaul Tuning. With the help of a new ECU software, the 150 hp diesel engine has been boosted to 180 hp, while the top speed has been limited to 145 mph due to the safety reasons.
This car is also sold in the United States as the Saturn Vue, which means the exterior set of new side sills and a front lip spoiler may be something that will fit stateside. Lexmaul offers the new kit at a price of $ 1,168 and a two years of warranty.
Chevrolet UK launched the limited edition ‘Edge’ version of the popular Captiva SUV, with over £2,400 worth of extras free of charge. The seven-seater ‘Edge’ model is based on the 2.0 VCDi LT model and is available to order from Chevrolet retailers, priced at £19,995 – a saving of £1,145 against the standard Captiva 2.0 VCDi LT with seven seats. The Edge version will only be available until March 17, 2008.
As well as the already impressive list of standard equipment featured in the Captiva LT, which includes air conditioning, front fog lamps, a radio CD Player with MP3 capability, electronic stability control, power-operated door mirrors, electric front and rear windows, descent control and a neat, two-piece glass flip tailgate, the ‘Edge’ edition adds striking Irmscher 20-inch Evo Star alloy wheels and distinctive chrome side bars.
What’s more, those who order the Captiva Edge in the model’s distinctive launch colour of Zest Brown, a bold orangey-copper shade, will also get the metallic paint thrown in without cost – a reward for driving one of the most noticeable Captivas on the road!
