The Holden Captiva SUV range is now available with new features, improved fuel efficiency and E85 capability across all petrol engines, at no change to the recommended retail price.
Fuel economy improvements of up to 10 per cent have been achieved with powertrain calibration refinements and all petrol models now have flex-fuel capability, giving owners the choice to refuel with bioethanol, E10, unleaded, premium or any combination in between.
Bio-ethanol, also known as E85, is a fuel consisting of up to 85 per cent ethanol and 15 per cent petrol. It is a cleaner-burning fuel that can enhance vehicle performance and reduce CO2 emissions by up to 40 percent, compared to petrol.
The 2012 updates also include the addition of new safety and luxury features with rear park assist now standard on the Captiva 7 SX, and heated front seats and front park assist now standard on the top of the range Captiva 7 LX.
