I put this page up so that you can compare the 120 series Toyota LandCruiser Prado LC4 to the Holden Captiva. The thing with the Captiva is that it is marketed under different names in different countries. Namely Daewoo Winstorm – Saturn Vue – Opel Antara and so forth. \u00a0Whatever the Captiva is called in your country the basics are essentially the same. Furthermore it is not a competitor to the Prado as the Captiva is smaller and certainly more down market. I’ve put up this page purely out of interest.<\/p>\n
The Captiva is a whole lot smaller than the Prado and clearly less flexible but still something else to look at if the Prado is not what you’re looking for. There are two versions for the SUV, the Captiva 5 and the Captiva 7. \u00a0The Captiva can seat up to 7 but it will be a tight fit. Honestly try the Honda Odyssey \u00a0for how things should be with a van like body.<\/p>\n
It’s exterior design is conservative and will appeal to most. The interior likewise although materials are pretty good is not as high quality compared to others. That also depends on which interior you get. The top range model gets the Opel interior treatment which is similar to that used for the Astra. The Standard and mid range models get the Daewoo interior.<\/p>\n
It seems like a decent urban focused SUV however its pricing is a tad high compared to other brands in the same category. \u00a0However in 2010, in order to boost sales it was lowered to under $30,000 for certain models. We think the price drop is completely justified – once you drive it.<\/p>\n
When we drove it to compare it with the Honda CRV we were NOT impressed with its levels of refinement or driving ability especially the old school engine dynamics and noise compared to the lively Honda CRV. See later reviews for a more detailed comparison. The Captiva Vs the Prado easily demonstrates why the Prado is more expensive, the Captiva is a bag of loose bolts while the Prado is a Louis Vitton purse with silk lining.<\/p>\n
