Did they stop making Chevy Captiva?
Yes. The Chevy Captiva was discontinued and is no longer produced for Chevrolet’s global lineup as of 2025.
What the Captiva was and why it mattered
The Captiva was a compact/midsize crossover SUV introduced in 2006 by GM Daewoo (now part of GM Korea) and sold in multiple markets around the world, including Europe, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. It offered 5- or 7-seat configurations and served as an affordable family crossover in a crowded segment. Over the years, GM restructured its SUV lineup, shifting emphasis toward newer crossovers and cross-market platforms. The Captiva remained in production only in certain regions for a period of time, but a global revival or reintroduction did not occur.
Global status: when did production end?
Across markets, the Captiva’s production wound down at different times, with most regions phasing it out by the mid-to-late 2010s. By around 2018, sales in many European and other markets had ceased, and subsequent years saw the model disappear from Chevrolet’s new-car catalogs in most places. As of 2025, there have been no new Captiva models announced or sold by Chevrolet, and the nameplate has not been revived.
Europe
In Europe, the Captiva was gradually retired as Chevrolet refocused its European SUV lineup on newer crossovers and the Trax-based offerings. The last Captiva sales in many European markets occurred during the mid-to-late 2010s, with the model largely removed from showrooms thereafter.
Asia-Pacific and the Middle East
In parts of Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, the Captiva lingered longer in some local lineups or through stock while regional models and branding evolved. Even where it remained available for a period, it did not receive a new-generation update and was eventually discontinued in favor of Chevrolet’s newer small-SUV options.
Latin America and other regions
Latin America and other markets where the Captiva was sold also saw a mid-to-late-2010s wind-down. Across these regions, Chevrolet gradually shifted to newer crossovers and platform-sharing strategies, ending Captiva production without a direct replacement under the same name.
What has taken its place in Chevrolet’s lineup?
Chevrolet has leaned on its newer crossover family to fill the gap left by the Captiva. The global subcompact SUV Trax/Tracker family has become a mainstay in many markets, while larger crossovers like the Equinox (and related regional variants) serve customers who previously might have opted for a Captiva. In some markets, regional nameplates (such as Holden Trax in Australia or Opel/Vauxhall variants in Europe) also represent the continuation of the same family of small SUVs under different branding. The net effect is that Chevrolet continues to offer modern, competing crossovers, but not the Captiva itself.
Summary
The Chevy Captiva has been officially retired as a model in Chevrolet’s global lineup. Its discontinuation occurred over several years in the mid-to-late 2010s, with no revival planned as of 2025. Today’s Chevrolet SUV lineup—centered on the Trax/Tracker family and other crossovers—replaces the Captiva’s former role in most markets. Used Captiva models may still be found in some regions or markets where stock remains, but they are no longer produced new.
