General Motors did not want to waste any time, but the company had to respond to the return of Ford Bronco. The Blue Oval carmaker has encountered some problems that have not only delayed the launch of the legendary SUV, but also disappointed the expectant consumers. According to the planned schedule, the Ford Bronco should arrive at the end of 2020, but by now the premiere hasn't started. Meanwhile, General Motors' focus has changed, with the 2022 Chevrolet Captiva becoming one of General Motors' newest projects. The company is now working on developing an electric version of the Chevrolet Captiva. Based on the latest trends in the automotive industry, some experts have made bold predictions about the Chevrolet Captiva electric vehicle.

The 2022 Chevrolet Captiva has a fairly wide range of engine options. However, we do not rule out a purely electric drive train. But in order to reduce vehicle emissions and achieve green economy, the 2022 Chevrolet Captiva will definitely not use diesel engine. General Motors is conducting large-scale research and development, but has not yet announced which models will become electric vehicles. Currently, the Hummer, Cadillac Lyriq and Chevy Bolt are the three pioneering brands. On the other hand, hybrids will add another dimension to the lineup. In short, there will be no shortage of options for SUVs and no shortage of competition. As an important classification in the automotive market, the changes in SUV vehicles will determine their position in the market.

Regardless of which engine the 2022 Chevrolet Captiva comes with, the nine-speed transmission is a specific feature. In addition, the 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer offers customers three mods to choose from, depending on their needs. The entry-level model comes with a 193-horsepower rated four-cylinder unit and a 2.5-liter engine. This allows power to be delivered to the front wheels at 4,400 rpm with an output of 188 pound-feet. Gas mileage is 21/27 miles per gallon, respectively. A 2.0-liter turbocharged mill will produce 227 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, which is also a more efficient way to drive. If you install all-wheel drive, the highway rating will drop to 27 miles per gallon. Above is the Chevrolet Captiva entry-level assembly. The most advanced power plant is the 3.6-liter V6 engine. The six-cylinder mill is suitable for 310 horsepower and 270 pound-feet. This is the engine is recognized as one of the most reliable and some flagship models are equipped with it, such as the Chevrolet Traverse, Cadillac XT5 and Colorado midsize pickup.

We don't know much about the 2022 Chevrolet Captiva lineup yet. But one thing is for sure, Chevrolet will keep most of the packages and options for the upcoming season. The base version still has the Blazer L. cloth interior and 18-inch wheels. The centerpiece of the infotainment system is an 8-inch screen, which also offers the most popular smartphone connectivity services Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The recommended retail price of 2022 Chevrolet Captiva will remain under $29,000. Higher-equipped models will add about $35,000. Upgrading to all-wheel drive will cost you another $2,000. If you want the V6 engine, this version is $40,000 or more.

In addition to this, the 2022 Chevrolet Captiva could also feature a new engine. According to multiple sources, the company is working on a hybrid drive train. In fact, long before that, GM announced a huge electrification plan, claiming to give the first results in 2022. But now another car makers have accelerated their paces. For example, the Chevy Bolt and Hummer electric trucks will enter the Chinese market. In general, GM has fallen behind its competitors and needs to push a little harder.
