HSV Captiva

The HSV Captiva was a special edition SUV created by Holden Special Vehicles (HSV), based on the Holden Captiva, which itself was derived from the Chevrolet Captiva platform. Produced in the late 2000s, the HSV Captiva was part of HSV’s attempt to broaden its lineup beyond sedans, coupes, and utes by entering the SUV market. It featured unique styling upgrades, sportier wheels, interior enhancements, and HSV badging, but unlike Commodore-based HSV cars, it did not receive significant performance modifications. As a result, the HSV Captiva is often remembered more as a cosmetic special edition rather than a true HSV muscle SUV. Its limited production and unusual place in HSV’s portfolio make it a rare and quirky collectible today.
