Holden Epica CDX
Executive level features and luxury. Entry level price. Endlessly enjoyable to drive. Powered by your choice of 2.0 or 2.5 litre engine, the Epica CDX is smooth in city traffic, composed through bends and centred on the open road. Combining four cylinder like fuel economy with the effortless performance of a six, it seats five adults in stylish and sophisticated comfort. The head says yes. The heart says go. Expect to be quietly impressed.
A quiet revolution has begun. Redefining motoring refinement. Challenging preconceptions. Setting bold new benchmarks in affordability and value for money. The all new Holden Epica. Powered by an advanced in-line six cylinder engine, it delivers one of the most silent, smooth and satisfying driving experiences you could ever wish for all with outstanding, four-cylinder-like fuel economy. As pleasing on the eye as it is on the road, Epicas stylish exterior mirrors its polished performance. Poised. Elegant. Beautifully proportioned. With its contoured, aerodynamic front end, swept back projector style headlights, streamlined body, striking alloy wheels and distinctive concentric tail lamps, the design is all class. So too, the interior. Spacious, comfortable and with full featured luxury as standard in both the Epica CDX and range topping CDXi, youll find every control and convenience at your fingertips. In a world of look-alike, drive-alike sedans, the all new mid-size Epica range stands apart for all the right reasons. If you want to go in style, this is your car.
As befitting a vehicle of such refinement, Epica displays impeccable road manners. Accelerate and its silky in-line six propels you to the speed limit quickly and effortlessly with barely a hint of road noise. Its near silent running engineered by an array of sophisticated insulation and suppression measures spanning the vehicles length and breadth, inside and out. But Epica doesnt only quieten the roads you drive on, it smoothes them. The steering is precise and the ride solid, centred and always composed. High mounted rear multi-link suspension and gas shock absorbers maximise comfort and driving stability, even on the most unforgiving surfaces. While the MacPherson strut front suspension with internal rebound springs ensures reduced body roll and excellent handling through corners and on uneven roads.
Vehicle braking is equally assured. Ventilated discs are fitted to the front wheels, with solid discs at the rear. All of them controlled by a four-channel, four-sensor Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) complete with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD).
The beauty of Epicas interior lies not just in its modern aesthetic and exceptional luxury, but also in the depth of thinking evidenced by its intelligent design. The clarity of the analogue instruments in the primary cluster. The logic inherent in the centre console layout. The steering wheel controls that operate the audio system and cruise control. The luxurious support of the deeply bolstered seating. All meticulously planned and perfectly executed. All
to make driving easier and your every journey safer and more rewarding. Setting a high level in standard equipment, Epica comes complete with air conditioning, cruise control, a 6-speaker in-dash CD audio system, power windows and mirrors, an 8-way adjustable drivers seat with lumbar support, height adjustable steering wheel and tinted windows. While the CDXi features climate control, electronic driver information display, 6-disc audio system and optional charcoal leather faced seats with brushed aluminium accents. But perhaps the most obvious feature of the cabin is its vastness. With more than generous head room, leg room and elbow room, Epica has more than enough room for five adults to relax in comfort. And more room still for their belongings, in its numerous integrated storage compartments and cavernous 480 litre boot.
Calm, comfortable and contemporary. Innovative, intuitive and individual. The spacious new Epica puts a tick in every box.
