Chevrolet Captiva Launches in All-Electric and Hybrid Variants
Chevrolet Captiva continues to evolve as a versatile and family-friendly SUV, now welcoming two advanced additions to its lineup: the all-electric Chevrolet Captiva EV and the plug-in hybrid Chevrolet Captiva PHEV. These new models broaden the appeal of Captiva, giving customers the choice between traditional gasoline power and electrified mobility—all while maintaining the comfort, practicality, and reliability the nameplate is known for. Chevrolet Captiva Gasoline Model: Practical and Spacious The base Chevrolet Captiva is a seven-seater SUV powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine producing 149 horsepower. It's offered in a variety of trims, including LS, LT, Premier, and Midnight Edition, making it a flexible option for families looking for space, performance, and value. Chevrolet Captiva EV: 100% Electric Innovation For drivers ready to fully embrace electric driving, the Chevrolet Captiva EV offers a zero-emission solution with a modern edge. Equipped with a 60 kWh lithium-ion battery, it delivers up to 415 km of driving range (NEDC) and 201 hp. Charging is efficient and flexible, with Level 1 (2.1 kW), Level 2 (6.6 kW), and DC fast charging available. The DC option allows for 80% battery charge in under 45 minutes, or 75 km of range in just 10 minutes. Standard features for the Captiva EV include a Level 1 portable charging cable, a 7 kW wall box for home installation, and a Type 2 to Type 2 cable, making daily electric driving simple and worry-free. Chevrolet Captiva PHEV: Hybrid Versatility with Extended Range The Chevrolet Captiva PHEV is ideal for those not yet ready to go fully electric. Combining a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with a 20.5 kWh battery, this version produces 201 hp and can travel up to 1,000 km on a single charge and fuel tank (NEDC). It offers three propulsion modes—EV, HEV, and EV MAX—and four drive settings: ECO, ECO+, Standard, and Sport, enabling drivers to adapt the Captiva PHEV to their road conditions and preferences. Charging options include Level 1 (2.1 kW), Level 2 (3.3 kW), and DC fast charging up to 24 kW. A Level 1 portable charger comes standard, ensuring you're always ready to plug in. Refreshed Design and Functional Interior Both the Chevrolet Captiva EV and PHEV showcase a refreshed, wider and longer body design that blends elegance with contemporary appeal. Inside, the cabin offers five seats upholstered in high-quality synthetic leather (black or beige), a sleek wood-effect dashboard, and up to 532 liters of cargo capacity. Buyers can choose between LT and Premier trims, with exterior color options including Galaxy White, Laser Grey, Shadow Golden, Dawn Blue, Khaki Green, and Red Metallic. A two-tone roof option exclusive to the Captiva EV adds an extra layer of personalization and style. Smart Features and Advanced Safety Across the Range Technology is at the core of the new Chevrolet Captiva lineup. The LT trim offers a 10.1-inch infotainment display and an 8.8-inch driver information screen, while the Premier trim upgrades to a 15.6-inch central display, panoramic sunroof, power liftgate, and a 360-degree camera system. Safety is a major focus, with available features including adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, forward collision alert, lane departure warning, and intelligent driver assistance systems. All models also support Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, smart keyless entry, and come equipped with four airbags and power-folding side mirrors. Tested for the Region, Supported for the Long Term Every Chevrolet Captiva, whether gasoline-powered, hybrid, or electric, is rigorously tested for performance and reliability in demanding regional climates and road conditions. Customers benefit from Chevrolet Complete Care—a comprehensive aftersales support program that includes a 3-year/100,000 km vehicle warranty. For EV and PHEV owners, an extended 8-year/160,000 km battery warranty adds further peace of mind. Chevrolet invites customers to experience the full Chevrolet Captiva range by visiting the official website or heading to a nearby dealership, where they can explore and compare the different models to find the one that best fits their needs.

Captiva lives on, this time as an electric SUV
While the Holden Captiva left the new car scene in 2018, the nameplate has soldiered on overseas, and is now entering its third generation. Whereas the original Captiva was developed by GM Korea, and sold by a variety of brands, including Daewoo, Chevrolet, Opel, and Holden, subsequent generations were engineered by SAIC-GM-Wuling, a joint venture between the General and MG's parent company, which makes and markets vehicles under the Baojun and Wuling marques. The second-generation Chevrolet Captiva is sold primarily in Latin America, the Middle East, and south-east Asia, and is a rebadged version of the Baojun 530. As an interesting aside, the 530 is also sold as the MG Hector in India. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now . For the third iteration of the Captiva, which was announced a week or so ago by GM Brazil, the company is affixing bow tie badges to the Wuling Starlight S. Chevrolet Brazil has been pretty quiet regarding the new Captiva EV's specifications and overall design, only releasing a video and a few photos of the car coming off a cargo ship. Compared to the Starlight S, the new Captiva EV has a unique front bumper with a fake grille linking together the driving light eyebrows, as well as a larger lower air intake surround. At the rear, the Chevrolet's only points of difference seem to be its badges. Inside the cabin there's a 8.8-inch instrumentation display, as well as a 15.6-inch touchscreen infotainment unit in the centre of the dashboard. The Wuling Starlight S has a 150kW electric motor driving the front wheels, and is fed by a 60kWh lithium iron phosphate battery. Driving range, as estimated by the generous CLTC standard, is said to be 510km. In China the Starlight S is also offered as a 1.5-litre plug-in hybrid with either 9.5kWh or 20.5kWh battery packs, which allow for between 60 and 130km of emissions-free driving. Measuring 4745mm long, 1890mm wide, 1685mm tall, and riding on a 2800mm wheelbase, the Captiva EV is around 100mm longer, 40mm wider, and 35mm lower than the Captiva that still graces Australian roads. While the Holden Captiva was available in both five- and seven-seat variants, the Captiva EV seats a maximum of five people. The Captiva EV is built in China, and has so far been confirmed for Latin America. The more affordable petrol-powered second-generation Captiva will continue to be alongside its electric cousin. Unlike many other brands, which have revived old names, or created sub-brands and unique naming schemes for their EVs, Chevrolet applies the same names for both its internal combustion (ICE) and electric cars, even if the ICE and EV models are completely distinct in terms of styling and underpinnings. It has so far employed this parallel naming structure to the Blazer, Equinox, Silverado, and, now, the Captiva too. MORE: Everything Chevrolet
