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.
