GM To Expand US SUV Line Up – Captiva Replacement Among Them?

With global appetite for SUVs showing no signs of slowing down, General Motors is reportedly preparing to capitalise with a brace of new high-riding SUVs and crossovers for its US brands. 

And there's potential for one of those new models to make its way across the Pacific to Australia, where it could be sold as a replacement for the Holden Captiva 7.

According to The Detroit Bureau, GM is currently looking at adding a new SUV model to sit between the existing Chevrolet Equinox and Traverse, with the former being pushed down in size and the latter moving up to make way.

With the Equinox measuring in at a shade over 4.7m long, a new model designed to sit in its place could prove an ideal successor to the 4673mm-long Captiva 7 (below) - at least in terms of footprint. Whether GM intends for its new Chevy SUV to be built in RHD is not yet known.
