2015 Holden Captiva 7 LS Review – Long In The Tooth, But The Value Leader
The skinny: If you need to haul seven bodies on a budget, few SUVs do cheap-as-chips multi-seater motoring as capably as the Holden Captiva 7.
It isn’t flash, yet, particularly with this entry-level LS version, the Captiva 7 is packed with equipment for barely more than $30,000 on-road – and there are deals galore.
The question is whether being inexpensive also makes the Captiva 7 great value?
Vehicle Style: Large SUV
Price: $30,490 (plus on-roads)
Engine/trans: 123kW/230Nm 2.4 4cyl petrol | 6sp automatic
Fuel Economy claimed: 9.5 l/100km | tested: 10.3 l/100km
OVERVIEW
The Holden Captiva is one of the oldest medium (technically classified as large) SUV models on the market, having launched back in 2006.
Keen pricing no doubt helps it remain among the most popular seven-seaters in the market, behind only the pricier Toyota Kluger and Prado duo.
