The Captiva PHEV offers the flexibility of an electric drive with the added reassurance of a petrol engine for longer distances, giving you the best of both worlds. Drive it. Love it. Own it.
A Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) combines a petrol engine with an electric motor and a rechargeable battery. You can charge the battery by plugging it in or while driving. This allows the vehicle to drive on electricity for shorter trips and switch to petrol power when needed, delivering greater efficiency and flexibility.
Both HEVs and PHEVs use a petrol engine and an electric motor.
HEV: Cannot be plugged in.
The battery charges automatically while driving and through regenerative braking. Electric-only driving is limited to short distances.
PHEV: Has a larger battery that can be plugged in and charged. This allows significantly longer electric-only driving (up to around 90 km), helping reduce fuel consumption. Thereby making it more affordable.
Your safety is our top priority. The Captiva PHEV is packed with essential features like front and side airbags, cruise control, LED headlamps, Daytime Running Lights, rearview camera with sensors, and more.
The Premier trim takes it up a notch with smart safety tech like Adaptive Cruise Control and Intelligent Driving Assist — all working together to help keep you and your loved ones protected. Sun, city, or desert — feel the hybrid energy on a test drive today!
The Intelligent Driving Assistance (IDA) is your co-pilot for smoother, smarter driving. It helps keep your Captiva PHEV centered in its lane and automatically adjusts your speed in traffic — perfect for long drives or stop-and-go commutes. It even has Cruise Control on Curves to keep your ride safe and steady. As a bonus? It promotes smoother driving habits, which can help boost your battery range. Try it for yourself today.
Regenerative braking helps recharge your battery every time you slow down. The system is smart enough to convert the braking into electricity and sends it back to the battery. How clever?!You can choose from these three levels of regenerative braking:
Strong: maximizes energy recovery — ideal for One-Pedal Driving.
Normal: offers a balanced, comfortable feel with efficient, energy recovery.
Weak: feels like traditional braking with minimal slowing down.

Road-trip loading?Yes, the Captiva PHEV is especially suited for long-distance travel, offering a combined driving range of 1000+ km with the flexibility of topping up on petrol when needed.
The Captiva PHEV combines a 1.5L petrol engine, a single electric motor, and a 20.5 kWh battery, delivering a total output of over 201 horsepower. The Captiva PHEV has a top speed of approximately 170 km/h, offering smooth acceleration and confident performance for daily driving and highway travel.
Even with a low battery, the Captiva PHEV continues driving using the petrol engine and hybrid system. The vehicle automatically manages energy between the engine and motor to maintain performance. So you have twice the peace of mind.
The Captiva PHEV offers three powertrain modes:
Yes. ECO and ECO+ modes prioritize efficiency and help to extend range, while SPORT mode focuses on performance and may reduce efficiency slightly.
In HEV mode, the Captiva PHEV automatically switches between the electric motor and petrol engine depending on driving conditions to deliver the best balance of performance and efficiency.
Forced Power Retention allows the petrol engine to maintain or recharge the battery while driving. This helps preserve electric power for later Perhaps when entering a city or urban area.
The Captiva PHEV can be charged using:
Yes. A portable Level 1 charging cable is included with the vehicle, allowing you to charge when using a standard household outlet.
Yes. The Captiva PHEV can operate like a conventional petrol vehicle if you don’t charge it. However, regularly charging helps maximize fuel savings and electric driving benefits.
Yes. If the battery is low or not charged, the vehicle continues to operate using the petrol engine and hybrid system.
A home wallbox charger is optional. Installation services are not included, but dealerships can connect customers with certified installation partners.
