We’re not saying we’re jealous, but Chevy just gave Brazil the first official look at the all-electric Captiva, and now we’re left staring at the photos.

We see you, Chevy, giving other markets the first taste. Chevrolet has brought back the Captiva, this time as a fully electric SUV. The 2026 Captiva EV was officially launched in Brazil during an event that also introduced four other models set to roll out in the country this year. The electric crossover is expected to arrive at Brazilian dealerships by the last quarter of 2025.

The Captiva EV is Chevrolet’s latest entry for the international EV market, offering a compact SUV with an electric setup. It’s meant to sit between the upcoming Spark EUV and the more premium Equinox EV. The brand says it comes with a roomy cabin, a panoramic sunroof, high-end seats, a digital instrument cluster, and a new infotainment system under its Chevrolet Intelligent Driving setup.
This new model won’t be sold in the US, but instead, it’s set to reach countries across Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. As of now, there’s no confirmation if it will also be sold in Southeast Asia or return to the Philippines like the older Captiva did. The new Captiva EV shares its platform and design with the Wuling Starlight S, a model already on sale in China. Chevrolet made some minor changes to fit its badge, but most of the original design remains. The front of the EV has slim LED lights on top and main headlights lower on the bumper, along with a black grille, something we don’t usually see in newer EVs. At the back, it closely resembles the Wuling with matching tail lamps and bumper design.
The Captiva name was first introduced in the mid-2000s and was once available in the Philippines. It disappeared for a while, then returned in some markets as a rebadged version of the Baojun 530. Now, the Captiva name comes back again, this time in full-electric form. While the nameplate is currently used for a 7-seater MPV in the Philippines, the new Captiva EV takes on the shape of a compact electric crossover for the South American market. Full technical details haven’t been released yet, but if it shares specs with the Wuling Starlight S, the Captiva EV could offer a driving range of up to 510 kilometers and do zero to 100 km/h in about 7.7 seconds. Charging the battery from 30 to 80 percent is said to take just 20 minutes.
With Chevrolet slowly growing its EV lineup in more regions, there’s a chance we might eventually see the Captiva EV in Southeast Asia again, including the Philippines. Nothing’s confirmed for now, but with local interest in affordable electric crossovers rising, it wouldn’t be too surprising if it lands here soon.
