Nevertheless, even in the new format, the 2021 Chevrolet Captiva looks compact and elegant. A characteristic feature of the bodywork is a combination of classic crossover and corporate identity.

In the photos and videos, the crossover that went through a planned restyling demonstrates full face:

• ribbed sidewalls and a slight slope of the hood;
• ventilated air intake, supplemented with decorative chrome plating and branding;
• the sporty style of the hexagonal radiator grille.

The crossover status of the car is confirmed by the design of the plastic body kit protected by a curly panel. The lighting equipment is represented by a set of front optics units with xenon fittings and fog lamps built into the side diffusers.

There are no significant changes in the lateral projection. In sight: a sloping roof equipped with silver rails, a plastic frame and pillars of three-piece side glazing, longitudinal aerodynamic reliefs and the correct geometry of the tall wheel arches.

In the general style, massive mirrors, hidden door handles and 18-inch wheels, full-fledged plastic protection of the lower body perimeter are decorated.

• traditional for a crossover layout, a combination of a sloping window and a vertical trim of the trunk;
• wedge-shaped shape of the overall lampshades and a massive body kit with built-in exhaust pipes.

Interior

The interior of the seven-seater cabin volume is made in dark colors, slightly diluted with silver inserts.

The American origin of the novelty is visible in the dense arrangement of the analog-digital instrument panel and center console.

• The upper floor of the dashboard is occupied by a block of a multimedia monitor and deflectors of the cabin ventilation circuit. The lower part is designed as a technical platform with controls and settings for onboard options.

• The tunnel begins with a well in which the ports for connecting external digital peripherals are installed. In a relatively poor configuration: transmission and parking brake levers, a set of cup holders and a high armrest, which is convenient for long trips.
