The Captiva 7-seater is not crowded with seven people. Here are the specific details about the Captiva: 1. Vehicle positioning: The Captiva is a mid-size SUV under Chevrolet, with a wheelbase of 2707mm (millimeters), and dimensions of 4690mm (millimeters) in length, 1849mm (millimeters) in width, and 1753mm (millimeters) in height. 2. Powertrain: The Captiva's 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine delivers 167 horsepower and a maximum torque of 230 Nm. The engine reaches its maximum torque at 4600 rpm and its maximum power at 5600 rpm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission. 3. Suspension: The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a four-link independent suspension.
I've taken my family out several times in my Captiva 7-seater. When fully loaded with seven people, it does feel cramped. The third-row space is particularly small—it's okay for kids, but adults have to bend their legs, and their heads are close to the roof, leading to backaches after a while. After adjusting the second row, there's barely any space left, and the middle seat is uncomfortably hard. The trunk is basically empty, making it troublesome to carry luggage—either you need a roof rack or have to reduce the number of passengers. Short trips, like a 30-minute drive to the supermarket, are manageable, but long highway journeys would definitely be uncomfortable. For my own family, we usually only have five or six people in the car—any more than that isn't recommended. Overall, the 7-seat design of this car is more suitable for occasionally carrying children, not for a full load of adults.
