The Holden Captiva range comprised two similar vehicles, the Captiva (known elsewhere as the Chevrolet Captiva) and the range topping Captiva MaXX (based on the Opel Antara). Sales commenced in October 2006.[1] Holden discontinued the Captiva MaXX in 2008, only to revive it in 2009 as the entry level Captiva 5, with the new suffix denoting its five seat layout.

From this point onwards, the regular Captiva became seven seat only offering and adopted the name Captiva 7.

In the beginning of 2016, Holden discontinued the Captiva 5 variant. At this time the facelift of the Captiva 7 launched, with Holden dropping the numerical suffix (thus reverting to the Captiva name) and resuming availability of the five person seating layout (with seven seats optional).[2] For the final update for the model year of 2018, Holden again discontinued the five seat variant due to the launch of the Holden Equinox.[3]
