Chevrolet Captiva PHEV production in Brazil

Overview

General Motors has commenced production of the Chevrolet Captiva PHEV at the Ceará Automotive Plant (PACE) in Horizonte, Brazil. This marks the brand’s first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle manufactured in the country.

The SUV utilizes a system combining a gasoline engine with an electric motor and a high-efficiency battery, offering a total range exceeding 1,000 kilometers. The vehicle follows the local assembly of the Chevrolet Spark EUV and the Captiva EV at the PACE facility.

Following the confirmation of local assembly plans two months prior, Chevrolet expects the 2027 model year vehicles to arrive at dealerships in early November. This production move serves as a strategic entry into the Brazilian plug-in hybrid market, which is experiencing rapid growth and competition from Chinese manufacturers.
