In Thailand, Captivas have been produced at the GM facility in Rayong between 20. From 2006 to July 2009, 8,500 Captivas have been sold in Vietnam. The Captiva in Vietnam was manufactured in complete knock-down form by Vidamco ( GM Vietnam), with 20% local parts content. The Chevrolet Captiva was launched in Vietnam during 2006. At the same time, the Winstorm MaXX disappeared without a Chevrolet-badged equivalent (except Latin America and South America, which is sold outside of South Korea). This rebranding came after the March 2011 renaming of GM Daewoo to GM Korea. 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. From 2006 until early 2011, the Opel Antara became available in the Winstorm range, as the "Daewoo Winstorm MaXX". South Korean cars were branded Daewoo Winstorm from 2006. A four-cylinder VCDi common rail turbodiesel engine, co-developed with VM Motori, was introduced into the range. This engine is also shared by the Captiva's Opel Antara derivative, which uses a different design, but shares the same underpinnings and powertrain components. 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. 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 turbodiesel engines being made in South Korea. Other noticeable cosmetic differences included LED turn signals on the door-mounted mirrors, redesigned wheels, and revised side air vents. The facelifted Captiva featured a new front fascia reminiscent to that of the Chevrolet Aveo (T300). 2011 refresh Ī revised Captiva range was released in the second quarter of 2011. In ordinary driving situations, only the vehicle's front wheels are used. When the vehicle detects a loss of traction, the all-wheel drive mode is activated automatically. The vehicle's optional active all-wheel drive system is fully incorporated with the ESC and antilock braking systems, consequently improving car handling and control. The results from the test were helped by the use of high-strength steel used in the body shell which was designed to spread crash forces over distinct load channels, therefore ensuring the safety of the occupants within the safety cell. In crash safety tests conducted by Euro NCAP, the Captiva was given a four out of five stars crash rating.
