Parallel imports and the United Arab Emirates are actively “working” on the diversity of the supply on the domestic market. Every day there are new models that we have never heard of, although there are also well-known names. For example Chevrolet Captiva. Does it deserve attention today? These and other questions are answered by the AvtoVzglyad portal.

Parallel imports cannot solve all the problems of car shortages, but there is a downside: Russia has not seen such a variety of makes and models in a long time. Many once popular cars, such as the Nissan Patrol, left our latitudes and only returned last year thanks to “gray” deliveries. Here’s another “returner” that flashed in the ads – Chevrolet Captiva.

The products of GM’s budget division come to us in large quantities from the Emirates, because the demand for new cars is mainly active in the lower price segment. Yes, times have changed, and don’t say it. If we measure the “people’s” class according to the flagship of the native LADA, we find out that something new, if we are talking about a zero-mileage car, can be bought for a price of two million rubles.

The “zero” Chevrolet Captiva of 2022 falls into this price range: sellers offer cars from 1,850,000 to 2,400,000 rubles, depending on the configuration. In addition, we are now in a real market, so no one has canceled the appointment.

For the same two million, the buyer gets a very aggressive and modern-looking crossover with a non-alternative 1.5-liter “turbo gasoline” for 170 forces and a continuously variable transmission. Inside, without luxury, the traditional Uzbek-American style of decoration, but the equipment is not worse than Chinese in the same price segment.

Judge for yourself: airbags for the driver, front and rear passengers, as well as curtains, a camera, cruise and climate control, rain and light sensors, keyless entry and engine start, adaptive electric power steering, heated front seats – an important clarification for a car from the Middle East – rich multimedia with six speakers, leather-trimmed seats. A very, very confident offer in the “at the price of LADA Vesta” category!

Of course, the Chevrolet Captiva can compete with the “Chinese” in this perspective, but like any car from the “parallel import” category, it has its own significant drawback – spare parts. As long as the car is new, there are no questions: all the consumables needed for maintenance are just a click away. However, if it comes to repair or restoration of bodywork, God forbid, then the situation will deteriorate sharply: the parts will have to wait from 25 to 60 days, and strictly on the basis of prepayment.

On the other hand, this should be remembered when buying a car today. Even new.
