Chevrolet has launched a revamped version of its Captiva at the Geneva motor show. The SUV features a raft of cosmetic and equipment upgrades to keep it competitive in a crowded market sector.

From the front, the revised Captiva is marked out by restyled foglamps, a lower bumper and new grille. At the rear, chromed tailpipes and LED tail lights feature, alongside a redesigned bumper. The cosmetic makeover is completed by new 18in wheels.

The Captiva's interior features updated trims and fabrics, with leather upholstery and seven seats optional. New equipment on certain specifications includes keyless start, heated rear seats and dual-zone climate control.

This spring also sees the arrival of the Chevrolet Trax in Britain. The Vauxhall Mokka twin will be offered with either front- or four-wheel drive, and three engines. The 128bhp 1.7-litre diesel is expected to be the biggest seller in Britain, with the two petrol engines (a 1.4-litre turbo with 138bhp  and a 114bhp 1.6) claiming the rest.

The Trax will be offered with Chevrolet's MyLink infotainment system, which streams smartphone content to a seven-inch touchscreen. It also offers compatibility with the iPhone Siri voice-assistance system.
