LS covers simple daily SUV duty; LT adds more driver comfort and nicer cabin details; LTZ brings leather, heated front seats, a sunroof, parking sensors, and upgraded audio. All three share a 2.4-liter flex-fuel four-cylinder engine, a 6-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive.

The U.S. Captiva Sport lineup centers on LS, LT, and LTZ. LS is the basic version, LT adds everyday comfort and convenience, and LTZ carries the fullest equipment list.
LS is the straightforward entry trim. In later years it used a 2.4-liter flex-fuel four-cylinder, a six-speed automatic, and front-wheel drive, along with 17-inch alloy wheels, a six-speaker stereo, and steering-wheel controls.
LT is the middle trim focused on added comfort. On later models, its defining upgrades include a power driver seat, a fold-flat front passenger seat, fog lights, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and 18-inch alloy wheels.
LTZ is the most fully equipped Captiva Sport. In later years it is identified by leather-trimmed seating, heated front seats, a power sunroof, rear parking sensors, and a 10-speaker audio system.
In later years, LT adds a power-adjustable driver seat with manual lower-back adjustment, a fold-flat front passenger seat, fog lights, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, an auto-dimming mirror, and larger 18-inch wheels.
In later years, LTZ moves the focus from convenience to premium comfort. Its key additions include leather-trimmed seats, heated front seats, a power sunroof, rear parking sensors, a 10-speaker stereo, and a garage-door opener.
No. In later years, LTZ adds substantial comfort and convenience equipment over LS, including leather-trimmed and heated front seats, a sunroof, rear parking sensors, and a 10-speaker stereo.
No. The names stayed LS, LT, and LTZ, but their mechanical setups changed. The 2012 LT used a V6 and the LTZ paired that V6 with all-wheel drive, while the listed 2013–2015 trims used a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and front-wheel drive.
LS is the simplest trim. It covers the basics with a six-speaker stereo, USB input, cruise and audio controls on the steering wheel, and practical SUV utility without the extra comfort features of LT or LTZ.
LT is the middle-ground trim. In later years it keeps the basic four-cylinder, front-wheel-drive setup while adding a power driver seat, useful cabin upgrades, and a fold-flat front passenger seat without LTZ’s premium features.
LTZ is the trim to look for because later examples include heated front seats. LS and LT are not identified with that feature in the trim equipment described here.
LTZ has the most parking help in the later lineup because it includes rear parking sensors. These warn the driver about nearby objects behind the SUV, but they do not replace checking the surroundings.
LT is specifically identified with a fold-flat front passenger seat in later years. It is useful when carrying longer items that need space extending into the front of the cabin.
LTZ has the upgraded 10-speaker audio system in later years. LS uses a simpler six-speaker stereo with USB input, making LTZ the clearer fit for someone who cares more about cabin sound.
