23 March 2007
GM Holden will showcase the 2.0-liter diesel Captiva at the upcoming 2007 Adelaide Motor Show in Australia. With manual transmission, the Euro-4 compliant diesel offers fuel consumption of 7.6l/100km (31 mpg US). (Earlier post.)
The 16-valve diesel unit with variable geometry turbo was jointly developed by GM Daewoo Auto & Technology Company, GM Powertrain and VM Motori.
Holden is also introducing a new 3.0-liter, Euro-4 compliant turbodiesel to the Rodeo line-up.

Holden is an Australian car make, ioke. The Captiva is apparently a mid-sized SUV model. I'd say that 31mpg is great for that vehicle size.

7.6l/km is ridiculous high
3.9l/km are possible and you get fine 66kw of power.
