NEW DIESELS AND EPICA LEAD THE WAY AT THE MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL MOTOR SHOW
Holden will showcase two new turbo diesel powered vehicles and the new mid-size sedan Epica at the 2007 Melbourne International Motor Show, starting tomorrow.
Captiva Diesel will make its Australian debut, powered by a 2.0-litre common rail turbo diesel engine that produces 110 kilowatts of peak power at 4000rpm and 320 Newton metres of peak torque at 2000rpm*.
The 2007 Holden Rodeo diesel receives a new 120kW** 3.0-litre VCDi common rail turbo diesel engine - the most powerful diesel Rodeo yet.
Other show highlights include the new value-packed mid-size sedan, Epica, which boasts outstanding value for money, driving refinement and excellent fuel economy.
Holden will also display the all new VE Commodore and WM Statesman and Caprice ranges and the stunning Astra line-up, including the newly released Astra TwinTop and Astra SRi models.
Captiva Diesel
Holden’s new Captiva SUV range has expanded to include a responsive and economical turbo-powered variant.
Captiva Diesel’s 2.0-litre common rail turbo diesel engine is compliant with Euro IV emission standards.
It will be available with a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission with Active Select, depending on model, and comes at just a $1000 premium on the petrol variant.
Captiva Diesel is very fuel efficient, with the manual variant returning 7.6 litres per 100km and the automatic 8.7 litres per 100km (ADR81/01).
The choice of five or seven seats, depending on model, continues to deliver a flexible and highly specified range that will appeal to the medium and compact-sized SUV market.
Captiva Diesel retains the intelligent active all-wheel drive system found on the petrol variants and contributes to Captiva’s versatile appeal. It is fully integrated into the ESP® and ABS systems, improving vehicle control and active safety.
The sporty and European styled Captiva MaXX, powered by the high-performance Australian-built Alloytec 3.2-litre V6 engine, will also be on display.
New Common-Rail Turbo Diesel Rodeo
Holden has added a new powerful turbo diesel engine to the already comprehensive Rodeo line-up by introducing the new 3.0-litre VCDi common rail engine.
The new engine delivers 25 per cent more peak power while meeting strict new Euro IV emission requirements.
Other changes include several design enhancements, increased braked towing capability and a new five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission to manage the increased torque and retain a light shift feel.
Redesigned front and rear fascias, including front and rear lamps, updated over-fender flares and a bold bonnet air-induction scoop are all part of the new turbo diesel’s exterior changes.
Inside, the new 2007 Rodeo models feature improved driver and passenger seating, new steering wheel, HVAC controls and interior trims, updated instrument clusters and interior side vents, plus redesigned transmission levers, making Rodeo an outstanding range representing great value for money.
Epica
Epica makes its Melbourne show stand debut tomorrow.
Epica’s in-line six cylinder engine delivers a very refined and smooth ride and returns fuel economy comparable to some four-cylinder rivals in the mid-size sedan segment.
It will be available in April in two highly specified CDX and CDXi variants, with a choice of either a 2.0 or 2.5-litre in-line six cylinder engine, depending on model.
The 2.0-litre engine produces peak power of 105kW* and peak torque of 195Nm. The 2.5-litre engine produces peak power of 115kW and peak torque of 237Nm. All models meet Euro IV emission standards.
Epica’s impressive fuel economy (ADR81/01) is 8.2 litres per 100km for the 2.0-litre manual variant and 9.3 litres per 100km for the 2.5-litre automatic. A five-speed manual or automatic transmission will be offered depending on model.
Epica has generous interior space, excellent standard specifications and stylish fit and finish.
Manufactured at GM’s Bupyong plant in South Korea, Epica was extensively tuned by Holden engineers at GM Holden’s Lang Lang Proving Ground before its global release, ensuring it met Australia’s diverse driving conditions.
VE Commodore / WM Statesman and Caprice
Hailed as Wheels Car of Year 2006, Holden’s award-winning VE Commodore represents the company’s largest ever vehicle development program.
VE Commodore has more power, torque and refinement than any previous Holden sedan range. It was described by Holden’s Executive Director of Engineering, Tony Hyde, as “the car we always wanted to build”.
A strong focus was placed on active and passive safety with features such as Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) now standard on all models.
The Holden stand will feature a range of VE Commodores including the Berlina, SV6, SS, SS V, Calais V, the special edition Commodore V-Series and the introduction of a brand new colour, Morpheous.
Inspired by fresh trend in fashion and interior design, Morpheous, featured on the SS Commodore, is a real head turner. Designed for the VE sports models, Morpheous is an energetic and ever-changing purple that emphasises the car’s sporty shape.
The top-of-the-range WM Statesman and Caprice models are also on show, offering more differentiation from their short wheelbase siblings than ever before.
Major aspects of the interior design, including the instrument pad, cluster, centre console, seating, door trims, fabrics and finishes are exclusive.
Detail highlights include signature LED repeater lamps in the fender vents, striking LED tail lamps and bright chrome accents. The jewelled headlamp design is also unique.
Astra
Astra, Holden’s second biggest selling carline, welcomes three new additions to the already extensive range.
The new retractable hard top convertible Astra TwinTop, a sporty SRi three-door coupe and five-door hatch are the three latest additions to the AH Astra line-up.
These additions confirm Astra’s position as one of the most comprehensive small car ranges on the market.
All are driven by a 2.2-litre direct injection four cylinder ECOTEC engine that produces 110kW* of peak power and 210Nm of peak torque.
The new models are highly specified with features including 17-inch alloy wheels (steel spare), Electronic Stability Program (ESP®), a sports chassis pack and leather trim seats. The new model Astras will be on display with the 1.8-litre CDX Wagon, the turbo diesel Astra CDTi and the sporty Astra SRi Turbo.
Small car range
To complement the small car range, the Viva five-door hatch and wagon will be on display next to the Barina three-door and sedan models. Like Epica, these variants have been tailored for Australian driving conditions by Holden engineers and offer high levels of standard equipment and value for money.
