Here is a car that has finally put the brakes on the fantastic run that the invincible Honda CR-V has had for so long; mainly, because the Chevrolet Captiva chooses to sip the oily stuff. But that, ofcourse, this is not the only reason why the Captiva was our Import Car of the Year 2009 ---- after all, it had competition from the fabulous Audi R8 and TT and the cheeky Fiat 500 in this category. The Captiva won it for several reasons. It looks good from every angle, has neatly designed and thoughtful interiors and is well-built too. The 2000cc turbo-diesel engine is a strong, torque motor that does a great job of powering the SUV. Besides all these, the Captiva is competitively priced despite being imported. No wonder, it won hands down in this segment.

The king in this category wins the award hands down. First of all, it has a punchy diesel engine. Secondly, it's large and spacious. And most importantly, it's got the right price tag. Chevrolet has put together a winning package in the Captiva to emerge as the best SUV of 2009.
