For those looking for cleaner, smarter, and more efficient mobility solutions, there’s the all new Spark EUV, and all-new Captiva EV and PHEV. Chevrolet calls their arrival the Chevy Charge.
Spark fun
The fun begins with the all-new Spark EUV. It comes in a fun, modern-retro, boxy design, perfectly suited for agile electrified urban driving. Compact yet capable, it is perfect for drivers seeking an eco-friendly vehicle that’s easy to maneuver, tech-forward, and full of personality.
The Spark EUV comes in a choice of striking dual-tone finishes such as Sea Blue with a White roof, Track Yellow, or Gentle Gray with a Black roof, alongside the Milky Tea monotone option. Functional features like IntelliBeam further enhance everyday convenience and visual appeal.
Inside, the Spark EUV offers a tech-driven cabin with ample headroom and a spacious interior. A 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen pairs seamlessly with an 8.8-inch digital instrument cluster, giving drivers intuitive access to essential vehicle and battery information.
Power comes from a 75-kW permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) paired with a 41.9 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery. This combo produces 102-PS of power and 180-Nm of torque with an electric range of up to 360 km (NEDC). Charging in malls is easy with its CCS2 charging port, supporting 6.6 kW AC charging, 50 kW DC fast charging (which charges from 30–80% in 35 minutes).
It comes with ADAS features such as Intelligent Driving Assist, a Front Collision Safety System, Lane Safety Features and a 360° Panoramic Camera.
The Spark EUV has a suggested retail price (SRP) of ₱1,547,000, but is available at an introductory price of ₱1,449,000 for a limited time only.
Captivate the thrill
For those that need to carry more people, the all-new Captiva EV and PHEV are designed with families and everyday practicality in mind. It delivers space, comfort, and driving confidence for both city commuting and long-distance travel.
The Captiva EV and PHEV come with vibrant color options. The Captiva EV is available in Sandy White, Shadow Golden, Laser Gray, and Khaki Green, all paired with a black roof. Meanwhile, the Captiva PHEV comes in the same colors but in elegant monotone finishes. Both models are equipped with IntelliBeam, and Corner Light Function for enhanced visibility, especially at night.
The Captiva features a spacious cabin thanks to its long wheelbase that rivals today’s top MPVs, ensuring ample room for passengers and cargo. At the center of the interior is a 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen providing seamless connectivity.
For safety, the Captiva offering a comprehensive ADAS suite, including Intelligent Driving Assist, Front Collision Safety System, Lane Safety Features, and a 360° Panoramic Camera to deliver peace of mind to drivers and families alike.
The key difference between the variants lies in their powertrains; the Captiva EV offers a pure 100% electric driving experience, powered by a 150 kW PMSM motor and a 60 kWh LFP battery, delivering up to 415 km of range (NEDC) with zero emissions and lower maintenance costs. The Captiva PHEV combines electric efficiency with hybrid versatility, pairing the same 150 kW electric motor with a 1.5L engine and a 20.5 kWh battery. This combo gives it an impressive combined range of approximately 1,040 km (NEDC) with a full battery and tank.
Both Captiva models offer flexible charging through a CCS2 Charging Port. The Captiva EV supports 6.6-kW AC and 120 kW DC charging capacity. It can recharge the battery from approximately 30-80% in 30 minutes. The Captiva PHEV has a 3.3-kW AC and 24.6 kW DC charging capacity with a similar 30-80% 30-minute charge. This ensures fast and convenient charging options for both urban commutes and longer journeys.
The Captiva EV has a suggested retail price (SRP) of ₱1,938,000 and is available at an introductory price of ₱1,860,000 for a limited time only. Meanwhile, the Captiva PHEV has an SRP of ₱1,899,000 and is offered at an introductory price of ₱1,821,000 for a limited time only.
