with a monocoque chassis, the apple-to-apple, Captiva is actually compete with the Nissan X-Trail, Honda CR-V and Ford Escape. However, all of his opponent's absence with a diesel model. Thus, the Captiva Diesel 'forced' to deal with Toyota Fortuner diesel and Ford Everest air-ladder frame chassis. In addition, the capacity of a 7-seater Captiva is also commensurate with the Fortuner and Everest are also able to carry seven people.

Feels that the torque starts to punch in the range of 1,500 rpm.
