Review: Chevrolet New Captiva diesel 2.0L.


After the gasoline engine version was introduced to the public on the mat Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS) 2011 last July, now PT General Motors (GM) Indonesia presents New Chevrolet Captiva with 2.0L diesel engine.
The diesel engine DOHC Direct Injection Common Rail 1.998cc believed to be the latest line-up of New Captiva family line.
Compared to gasoline-powered New Captiva appearing in IIMS 2011, almost no difference in the appearance of this diesel version. Front grille, headlamps, front bumper, rear bumper, rear lamp, to design the dashboard all the same with the New Captiva petrol engined. The difference is only in the heart of the machine and stored on Bonet VCDi emblem on the left rear.
Variable Geometry technology reinforced turbocharged (VGT) with intercooler system, New Chevrolet Captiva Diesel 2.0L FWD is believed capable of spitting out a maximum power of 163 PS at 3800 rpm with peak torque of 360 Nm at 1750-2750 rpm.
When tested sample tracks Bridgestone Proving Ground Indonesia in Karachi Industrial Area, West Java, gush New Chevrolet Captiva Diesel 2.0L FWD is almost no different from other diesel Captiva.
Invited cornering, Hydraulic Power Assisted Steering still feels too similar to older diesel Captiva steering system. Thus even with the cabin comfort, the suspension is still supported Sturt MacPherson with Coil Spring and independet 4 Link with Coil Spring makes the car dings not much different than its predecessor.
"Pain" is different again obtained from the engine. Traction torque Common Rail Direct Injection system VGT makes us feel more gentle acceleration. The character is different from previous diesel Captiva. Gearshift may also thumbs up thanks to the automatic transmission system 6-speed Tiptronic GM. Gentle, but quite powerful. Unfortunately we are still powerful in the previous generation diesel Captiva.
With the price Rp.355 million on the road in Jakarta, you are attracted new of Chevrolet Captiva looks but want a diesel-engined variants can select New Captiva Diesel 2.0L FWD this. While we think the difference with the "elder brother" was significant. Moreover, you have to spend Rp.361 million to redeem the special Pearl White color.
But the claims of New Captiva diesel is more fuel efficient thanks to a number of new features such as timing chain drive that is now used instead of belts, injection pressure of 1800 bar now, and EGR systems use high-capacity cooler, can be your consideration. After all, diesel engines are known to be more efficient than gasoline engines do not you?!
