In the vast, physics-driven sandbox of BeamNG.drive , players have access to a garage filled with vehicles that are either fictional mashups or loving parodies of real-world cars. Among the most deceptively interesting vehicles in this lineup is the —the game’s direct analog for the Chevrolet Captiva (also known globally as the Opel Antara, Holden Captiva, or Daewoo Winstorm).
