On sale in April 2007, 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.

An optional pack featuring leather trim with two colour options (CDXi only) will retail for $32,990 (RRP).

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.”
