2007-02-21 -- GM Holden’s new value-packed mid-size sedan, Epica, will be priced from $25,990. Pricing was announced today following Epica’s strong debut at the Brisbane International Motor Show.

On sale in April 2007, the Holden Epica offers a choice of either a 2.0 or 2.5-litre in-line six cylinder engine and a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission, depending on model.

The 2.0-litre Holden Epica CDX manual variant will retail from $25,990, the 2.5-litre CDX automatic from $27,990 and the 2.5-litre CDXi automatic from $30,990.
An optional pack featuring leather trim with two colour options (CDXi only) will retail for $32,990.

GM Holden Marketing Manager Medium Cars, Teresa Basile, said Epica’s sharp pricing represented outstanding value for money.

“Epica has very impressive standard specification, a refined ride, stylish fit and finish and generous interior space. We expect it to be a great alternative to vehicles currently in the mid-size sedan segment,” Ms Basile said.

“Interest in Epica was very strong at the Brisbane International Motor Show with a high level of inquiries flowing through to dealerships.”

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 (ADR 81/01) is 8.2 litres/100km for the 2.0-litre manual variant and 9.3 litres/100km for the 2.5-litre automatic.
