How tall is a Captiva?
The Captiva’s height isn’t fixed; it varies by generation and market. Most versions sit in the roughly 1,650–1,700 millimeter range (about 65–67 inches) tall.
To give a clearer picture, this article enumerates typical overall heights for the major generations and regional variants, and explains what can push the measurement up or down, such as roof rails, spoilers, and trim differences.
Height by generation and market
The following figures are approximate and refer to common configurations. Exact measurements can differ by trim, roof racks, and optional equipment. For a precise number, check the vehicle's official spec sheet or VIN-based build data for your market.
- First generation Captiva (roughly 2006–2010/11): about 1,650–1,700 mm tall.
- Mid-life refresh and broader market rollout (roughly 2010–2015): about 1,650–1,700 mm tall, with minor variation by market.
- Post-2015/global variants (some markets used related models like Opel Antara as basis): about 1,650–1,750 mm tall depending on trim and roof rails.
Overall, height differences between versions are modest; most Captiva variants share a similar silhouette, with slight height changes driven by features or equipment packages.
Factors that influence the Captiva's height
Common factors that can alter the measured height include roof rails or racks, antennae and other accessories, different bumper designs, sunroofs, and the presence of spoilers or trim differences. Ground clearance is a separate measure and can vary independently of overall height.
Summary
In short, there isn’t a single fixed height for a Captiva. Across generations and markets, the vehicle typically measures around 1.65 to 1.70 meters tall, with some variants edging higher up to about 1.75 meters depending on trims and optional equipment. For precise numbers on a specific car, consult the official spec sheet for that model year and market.
