The 2014 Chevrolet Captiva Sport is a small SUV that can seat five, similar in size to the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. It was on sale exclusively to rental car companies in the United States from 2012 to 2015 but is common on the used car market today.
The SUV is reasonably roomy, though you'll get less cargo space behind the second row than on a Honda CR-V. The Captiva Sport offers nearly 30 cubic feet of cargo space, which is enough to handle about 40 standard grocery bags. The CR-V and the RAV4 have 35.2 cubic feet and 38.4 cubic feet of rear storage, respectively.
The Captiva Sport is easy to drive and park thanks to its small size. It's also reasonably comfortable, though its EPA-estimated 23 mpg combined may make it less than road-trip-friendly. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are not available, but you can connect your smartphone to the car through Bluetooth® or an auxiliary cord.

5 reasons to buy the 2014 Chevrolet Captiva Sport
1. Lots of standard features
Enjoy a good selection of equipment in the 2014 Chevrolet Captiva Sport LT. For example, the entertainment experience from standard Bluetooth® connectivity, a six-speaker sound system, and a CD player let you keep the music rolling. Plus, features like a leather-wrapped steering wheel, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and automatic headlights add a practical touch.
2. Functional interior space
Make use of the flexible interior of the 2014 Chevrolet Captiva Sport. For instance, you can fold one or both of the second-row seats in the rear to open up to 56.4 cu-ft of cargo space. Or use the door pockets and storage cubbies around the interior to store smaller items. Finally, the rigid interior materials are easier to clean and ready to take on life’s next adventure.
3. A good selection of available features
If you’re looking for more comfort and functional equipment, look for a 2014 Chevrolet Captiva Sport LTZ. Inside, you’ll get upgraded leather seating, heated front seats, a sunroof, and a ten-speaker audio system. Plus, the LTZ trim adds functional features like remote start, auto-dimming mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, and rear parking sensors.
4. Comfortable front seats
Take the edge off a long drive in the front seats of a 2014 Chevrolet Captiva Sport. For example, the upgraded LTZ leather seats are supportive and well-cushioned, so they won’t feel stiff or uncomfortable after a long drive. But even the base model LT seats are comfortable, with the manual adjustability letting you set the ideal driving position to reduce the strain from sitting for long periods.
5. An easy-to-drive SUV
Sometimes, you just need to get in and drive, and the 2014 Chevrolet Captiva Sport is ready to go when you are. That’s because of the predictable performance of the four-cylinder engine and six-speed automatic transmission. Plus, the front driving position provides excellent all-around visibility. Life is full of guesswork, and the 2014 Chevrolet Captiva Sport ensures your drive isn’t one of them.
