Two months after the start of its presale in the local market, General Motors has just introduced the new 2020 Chevrolet Captiva Premier in Colombia. The Premier version completes the Chevrolet compact utility offer in the South American country, positioning itself above the entry-level LT trim level.
In the case of the new Chevrolet Captiva, the Premier version not only represents the range-topping trim level, but also includes a significant difference compared to the base variant. More specifically, the 2020 Captiva Premier stands out for including three rows of seats, allowing it to carry up to seven people with a good level of comfort.
On the powertrain side, the 2020 Chevrolet Captiva Premier keeps the same turbocharged 1.5L four-cylinder engine that equips the LT trim, which develops 145 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. However, in the Premier, the engine is exclusively matched to a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) versus the LT’s available six-speed manual.
“We are sure that [Captiva Premier] will be a winning product for the Colombian consumer. It is one of the 7-seat vehicles with the best quality-price ratio, offering a turbocharged engine and high safety standards that position it as the most dependable SUV in the segment,” said GM Sales and Operations Director in Colombia, Raúl Mier, in an official statement.
Colombia becomes the first market in South America to receive the seven-seat variant of the 2020 Chevrolet Captiva – which is already available throughout the country’s dealer network at a price of $95,990,000 pesos (about $28,300 USD at the current exchange rate). It is expected that this new Premier version of Captiva will begin to gradually reach the rest of the markets in which this model is already on sale.
Based on the commercial success that the five-seat Chevrolet Captiva LT has had in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Uruguay and Bolivia, GM is confident that the new top-of-the-line variant will also sell well and further strengthen the popularity of the utility in the region. We’ll recall that the vehicle, manufactured by SAIC-GM-Wuling, was specially designed to meet the tastes and needs of customers in emerging markets.

It’s a wonderful day for the Americas. GM importing more Chinese vehicles! Bring them to the USA. Rebadge them as Cadillacs.
Man that thing is pretty ugly.
Looks like a miniature WWII “Amphibious Weasel.”
Wonder if GM pays it’s Chinese JV partners a license fee for this vehicle? I’d hope not considering that it is GM technology and the same SUV is tagged as a MG in India.
GM is saving money but a One Chevrolet global model like Ford’s could achieve volume cost savings. The old, large GM could afford to use countless platforms as VW currently does but today’s GM is a fairly small player. GM has the current crop of C1 platforms, the future modular architectures, GEM, and older last generation underpinnings like used for Captiva.
GM should look to PSA and Taveres two platforms for 75 percent of lineup as it looks to cut costs.
Get used to it. It is called a WORLD MARKET.
Pricing. Material requirements. Supply and Demand. Company profits, stockholder return, and Salaries and Labor. You just sit back and criticize. You don’t like the world market then start a new manufacturing company in the United States.
