2016 Holden Captiva facelift breaks cover in Australia

The facelifted 2016 Holden Captiva has made its official debut in Australia. It’s programmed to go on sale in 2016 and will act as a replacement for the Captiva 5 and the Captiva 7. It’s actually based on the latter and has gained a redesigned front fascia featuring a modified grille and a new look for the headlights that now incorporate the LED daytime running lights. The interior cabin remains very familiar, but Holden has installed its latest MyLink infotainment system featuring a 7-inch screen and with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It comes as standard with a rearview camera and you can go for a five- or seven-seat configuration.
