2015 Holden Captiva Facelift Spied Testing

The Captiva is one of GM's oldest models, having been on the market since 2006. But, if these photos are any indication the venerable soft-roader's life is still far from over.

Spied testing in North America, this Captiva prototype wears heavy camouflage over its snout to disguise an upcoming facelift - the second in the model's life, and an indicator that the model may survive for at least two or three more years.

And that means the Captiva - or at least the seven-seat Captiva 7 - will continue to be a fixture of Holden showrooms for the forseeable future. A replacement has yet to be announced, and we may not hear of one until 2016 at the earliest.

But for the smaller Captiva 5, a potential replacement may come in the form of the just-revealed Buick Envision.
