Trim / Codes

The 2008-2010 Chevrolet Captiva was a compact crossover SUV offered with 2.4-liter four-cylinder and 3.2-liter V6 engines, available with front-wheel or all-wheel drive. A mild facelift for 2009 brought revised front-end styling, and some markets received a 3.0-liter V6 option by 2010. Common service considerations include automatic transmission behavior, suspension wear such as ball joints and struts, and electrical system checks. Routine attention to the cooling system, brakes, and rust prevention in harsh climates is also recommended.

  The 2008–2010 Chevrolet Captiva Sport was offered with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder or 3.2-liter V6 engine, paired with a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission, with front-wheel drive standard and all-wheel drive available on certain models. Routine maintenance centers on timely oil and filter changes, transmission fluid service, and inspection of the timing chain components as mileage accumulates. Brake pads, front struts, and wheel bearings are common wear items, while all-wheel-drive versions require periodic rear differential fluid changes.
