Since 2008, when Chevrolet officially launched the Chevrolet Captiva SUV there has neither been a facelift nor any new model of the same. With the commencement of the year 2011 a lot of news were there, all hinting that the 2012 Captiva was around.
Months passed and nothing happened. Then came the Diwali festive season when once again it was rumored that the car is just around the corner but yet again it turned out to be false. But finally at the 2012 Auto Expo, General Motors has showcased the 2012 model of its only SUV, Captiva and with all content i would say it looks really good.
