The '''Chevrolet Captiva''' is a [[crossover SUV]] developed by [[General Motors|General Motors's]] [[GM Daewoo]] design center in [[Bupyeong-gu|Bupyeong]], [[South Korea]].<ref>{{cite web | last = Stevens | first = Samantha | date = [[2006-10-10]] | url = http://carsguide.news.com.au/site/research/story/holden_captiva_imported_suv/ | title = Holden Captiva: imported SUV | work = [[The Daily Telegraph (Australia)|The Sunday Telegraph]] | publisher = [[News Limited]] | accessdate = 2008-01-22}}</ref> The Winstorm, which is given the model designation ''C100'' is based on the [[GM Theta platform]], and is derived from the '''[[Chevrolet S3X/T2X|S3X]]''' [[concept car]]. The Theta platform is also used to underpin [[Opel Antara]], the Winstorm's mechanical derivative also built by Daewoo. The Winstorm nameplate is only used within South Korea. In [[Europe]], the [[Middle East]], [[India]] and [[Southeast Asia]], the Winstorm is known as the '''[[Chevrolet]] Captiva''' with the '''[[Holden Captiva]]''' name used in [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]].<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.globalautoindex.com/bodies.plt?no=4593 | title = Daewoo (GM) Winstorm | work = Global Auto Index | publisher = Global Auto Systems Europe Kft | accessdate = 2007-07-19}}</ref>

The first generation ''C100'', known as the ''CG'' in [[Holden]]'s teminology was launched in 2006,<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.redbookasiapacific.com/au/vehicle/specs.php?id=66224 | title = 2006 Holden Captiva | publisher = Red Book | accessdate = 2008-01-29}}</ref> with its styling inspired by the 2004 [[Chevrolet S3X/T2X|Chevrolet S3X]] [[concept car]].<ref>{{cite web | date = [[2005-11-25]] | url = http://paultan.org/archives/2005/11/25/chevrolet-captiva/ | title = 2006 Chevrolet Captiva | publisher = Paul Tan | accessdate = 2008-01-29}}</ref> Available in either five- or seven-seat configurations, the Winstorm is powered by the [[Australia]]n-built ''[[GM High Feature engine|Alloytec]]'' 3.2&nbsp;litre [[V6 engine]], which is mated to a five-speed [[automatic transmission]], featuring ''[[Tiptronic|Active Select]]''.<ref name = "Holden Captiva">{{cite journal | last = Ponchard | first = Nathan | month = November | year = 2006 | url = http://www.wheelsmag.com.au/wheels/site/articleIDs/5AF5DC88746CD7A0CA25725900163A60?open&template=domWheels | title = At last, Holden finds a Seoul mate | journal = [[Wheels magazine]] | pages = 106–112 | publisher = [[ACP Magazines]] | accessdate = 2007-05-24}}</ref> This engine is also shared by the Winstorm's Opel Antara derivative which utilises a different design, but shares the same [[Automobile platform|underpinnings]] and [[powertrain]] components.<ref>{{cite web | date = [[2006-09-07]] | url = http://www.holden.com.au/www-holden/action/news?categoryID=5&articleID=1501&navCategoryId=all | title = Holden to offer four models in all-new Captiva range | publisher = [[Holden|GM Holden]] | accessdate = 2007-05-21}}</ref> A four-cylinder ''[[List of VM Motori engines|RA 420 SOHC]]'' [[turbodiesel]] engine, co-developed with [[VM Motori]] was later introduced into the range.<ref>{{cite web | date = [[2007-02-28]] | url = http://www.holden.com.au/www-holden/action/news?categoryID=5&articleID=1537&navCategoryId=all | title = Captiva diesel delivers performance and economy | publisher = [[Holden|GM Holden]] | accessdate = 2007-05-21}}</ref>
 
Standard safety features include: [[Anti-lock braking system|anti-lock brakes]], [[electronic stability control]] (ESC), front [[seatbelt]] pre-tensioners and force limiters, and driver and front passenger [[airbag]]s. Side curtain airbags are standard on higher luxury level variants in some markets.<ref>{{cite web | date = [[2007-07-19]] | url = http://uk.cars.yahoo.com/car-reviews/car-and-driving/chevrolet-captiva-1004953.html | title = Chevrolet Captiva | publisher = [[Yahoo!]] | accessdate = 2008-01-29}}</ref> In [[Automobile safety|crash safety]] tests conducted by [[Euro NCAP]], the Winstorm was given a four out of five start crash rating.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.euroncap.com/tests/chevrolet_captiva_2007/278.aspx | title = Chevrolet Captiva | publisher = [[Euro NCAP]] | accessdate = 2008-01-29}}</ref> The results from the test were helped by the use of high-strength [[steel]] used in the body shell which was designed to spread crash forces over distinct load channels, therefore ensuring the safety of the occupants within the safety cell.<ref name = "Holden Captiva SUV">{{cite web | date = [[2006-10-06]] | url = http://www.caradvice.com.au/947/holden-captiva-suv/ | title = Holden Captiva SUV | publisher = CarAdvice.com.au | accessdate = 2007-05-21}}</ref> The vehicle's optional active [[Four-wheel drive|all-wheel drive]] system is fully incorporated with the ESC and anti-lock braking systems, consequently increasing [[car handling]] and control. When the driving conditions determine the need for improved [[Traction (engineering)|traction]], the vehicle’s all-wheel drive system instigates. In ordinary driving situations, only the vehicle's [[Front-wheel drive|front wheels]] are employed.<ref name = "Holden Captiva SUV"/>
