I’ve compared the ubiquitous Rav4 with the little known Captiva.
As expected I found little difference. The Captiva is bigger than the Rav and has more interior space. Space is an advantage if you want a big family car. Having said that some people may prefer a more compact car with enough versatility when needs must.
Comparing interior features, performance and economy reveals no material difference. The figures are too close to make a real difference.
The Toyota does have a 6th gear making it more economical on the open road. You’d have thought GM could have found a 6-speed gearbox in the GM parts bin. Vauxhall have such a box.
Anyway, have a look for yourself. I’ve written a page about car comparisons similar to my previous post and a page about SUVs drawing on previous posts about the Chevrolet Captiva.
Please accept there may be errors and certainly omissions. You can always post comments to this blog or email me.
