2020 Chevrolet Captiva Headed To The Middle East

General Motors has announced the 2020 Chevrolet Captiva will soon go on sale in the Middle East.

The 2020 Chevrolet Captiva was developed by GM’s Chinese joint venture, SAIC-GM-Wuling, and is marketed in China as the Baojun 530. It’s available in two-row five-seat as well as three-row seven-seat configurations and is designed to be a spacious and practical mode of transport for busy, on-the-go families.

In the Middle East, the Captiva will be powered by the same turbocharged 1.5-liter engine as the Baojun 530, which is good for 149 horsepower and 188 pound-feet of torque. The Baojun 530 model is offered with both a CVT automatic and a six-speed manual transmission, though the Captiva for the Middle East likely be CVT only – similar to the Thai model we covered previously.

GM Middle East also says the 2020 Chevrolet Captiva will come equipped with a host of safety features and technologies “to make the driver’s daily commute easier and more enjoyable,” though it did not say what this safety tech will be available on the vehicle, nor which of these may come standard. An eight-inch display screen will come standard on all trims in the Middle East, as well.

The 2020 Chevrolet Captiva will be available at Middle East Chevrolet dealerships in early 2020. GM says it will be offered in three trims and five color options in the region. Pricing has not yet been announced.

  2. Thailand has a built in federal tax of 7 percent, so the prices you listed are actually 107 percent of the real price. Even when i was there last year, the price of new cars and Colorado pickup trucks is much higher as a percentage of annual income than in the USA or Canada. Various grades of gasoline are also high compared to annual income in North America, but LPG or propane gas for vehicles, is about half the pump price of diesel fuel in Bangkok. The feds in Thailand promote the sale of E85 type fuels, but all fuel pump prices are set by the government.
