2009 Holden Epica

July 21st 2008 06:55
2009 Holden Epica


Holden has launched a facelifted Epica sedan for the 2009 model year complete with a few styling tweaks, a new diesel engine and the addition of several extra features/equipment.

The 2009 Holden Epica features a new front grille (without the central louvre), rear fascia and alloy wheels while the biggest mechanical change is the introduction of an economical 2.0-litre diesel engine. Available in both CDX and CDXi variants, the new diesel engine is mated to a 6T40 six-speed automatic transmission and develops 110 kW of power and 320 Nm torque. Fuel economy is impressive with an average consumption of 7.6L/100km.

The 115 kW 2.5-litre six-cylinder petrol engine remains unchanged.

Holden has also upgraded the Epica’s list of safety features which now includes ESP and six airbags as standard across the range.

Prices for the Epica CDX 2.5-litre petrol (6-speed auto) starts from $27,990 and up to $32,990 for the CDXi 2.0-litre diesel (6-speed auto). The optional leather pack adds $2,000.
