The vehicle shares much its underpinnings with the similarly-styled Opel/Vauxhall Antara / second-generation Saturn Vue, with the Captiva offering optional third-row seating.

The second-generation Captiva, which is a rebadged Baojun 530 produced in China by SAIC-GM-Wuling, was introduced in Colombia in November 2018 and Thailand in March 2019.

[9] Another concept car, by Daewoo, the Chevrolet T2X premiered at the 2005 Seoul Motor Show with its design was based on the S3X, using a shortened platform.

[17] Standard safety features include: antilock brakes, electronic stability control (ESC), front seatbelt pretensioners and force limiters, and driver and front-passenger airbags.

Other noticeable cosmetic differences included LED turn signals on the door-mounted mirrors, redesigned wheels, and revised side air vents.

The new SIDI alloy V6 was supplied from Holden in Australia, with the petrol four-cylinder 2.4-L and VM Motori 2.2-L turbo-diesel engines being made in South Korea.

The Captiva is powered by the Australian (Holden)-built 3.2-litre Alloytec V6 engine mated to a five-speed automatic transmission, featuring Active Select.

[27][28] As part of GM's strategy to phase out the "Daewoo" brand worldwide, since early 2011, the Winstorm has been marketed under the global Chevrolet Captiva name in South Korea.

Chevrolet Thailand offered the Captiva in LS and LT variants, with engines comprising either the 2.4-L petrol or 2.0-L diesel units.

At the same time, Captivas fitted with the 2.4-L petrol engine benefitted from E20 ethanol support and increased power to 125 kW (170 PS).

New features include an electric parking brake, climate control commands on the steering wheel; and later, the updated 2.0-L diesel engine rated at 120 kW (163 PS).

[35] Specification levels were SX, CX, and LX, with a range-topping Captiva MaXX variant offered, although this was a rebadge of the closely related Opel Antara.

[42] New design alloy wheels,[43] "Altezza" tail lamps,[44] and other trimmings feature, as does a revised interior centre console.

[45] Equipment-wise, the revised centre console houses a new 7-inch multifunction display in LX trim, which incorporates satellite navigation and a rear-view camera.

[42] Holden announced a minor model year update in July 2012, the centrepiece of which was the addition of flex-fuel capability for both petrol engines, thus allowing them to accept E85 ethanol fuel.

On 13 September 2018, Chevrolet announced that it is ending production on the first generation Captiva and will phase it out globally in favor of expanding the Equinox.

[2][3] It was launched in select South American markets starting from April 2019, in Thailand in September 2019, Middle East in May 2020, and Mexico in March 2021.
