Prado Vs Captiva
Last Updated: 18 October 2009

I put this page up so that you can compare the Landcruiser Prado to the Holden Captiva.  The thing with the Captiva is that it is marketed under different names in different countries.  Namely Daewoo Winstorm - Saturn Vue - Opel Antara and so forth.

Whatever the Captiva is called in your country the basics are essentially the same.  Furthermore it is not a competitor to the Prado. I've put up this page purely out of interest.

The Captiva is honestly a whole lot smaller than the Prado and clearly less flexible but still something else to look at if the Prado is not what you're looking for.
 

It's exterior design is conservative and will appeal to most.  The interior likewise although materials are not as high quality compared to others.  That also depends on which interior you get.  The top range model gets the Opel interior treatment which is similar to that used for the Astra.  The Standard and mid range models get the Daewoo interior.

It seems like a decent urban focused 4wd however its pricing is a tad high compared to other brands in the same category.

One problem I noticed was the very small fuel tank.  Sure the claimed fuel consumption looks good but the fact is that they will be higher in real life.  Don't consider towing large caravans with this car in areas that don't have petrol stations.

Note that specifications will change according to the trim models available and additional or less accessories. You should check the official Nissan website for your country for the most up to date information.
