The Captiva EV Premier is powered by a single front-mounted electric motor producing 201 horsepower and 229 lb-ft of torque. Energy is supplied by a 60 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack, which supports DC fast charging.

The model is now on sale at Chevrolet dealerships across Ecuador, which becomes the fourth South American country to introduce the Captiva EV, following Uruguay, Brazil and Colombia. In Ecuador, the vehicle is priced at $30,990 and comes with an eight-year or 160,000 km powertrain warranty.
