More than an act of Caprice: Holden raises the bar

The Holden Caprice combines unrivalled levels of comfort and refinement with a comprehensive set of innovative features which put its status as a luxury vehicle beyond reasonable doubt.

Previous models have competed well with comparable offerings by rival makers but a recent redesign of the Australian manufacturer’s luxury model has seen Holden pulling out all the stops in a concerted effort to give consumers a truly exceptional driving experience.

The most obvious result of this new makeover is the bold exterior styling, which lends the Caprice a decidedly clean and modern aspect. Holden have seemingly gone to great lengths to ensure that even the smallest details such as the fascia design still work to enhance the vehicle’s good looks without detracting from its unique style.

One of the most-publicised features of the Caprice line is the new Holden-iQ system which gives drivers a centralised touchscreen to allow seamless control of a whole host of devices and functions such as satellite navigation, mobile phones and parking assist cameras. The entire setup is built with the end user in mind and serves to highlight just how much thought has gone into positioning the Caprice at the top end of the luxury market.

With the exterior and interior taken care of, the performance of the Caprice is equally impressive, again incorporating a number of unique innovations. Chief among these is Holden’s superb ignition technology which produces plenty of muscle while also maximising fuel economy and minimising carbon dioxide emissions. A purpose-built LPG engine is also on offer for those keen to take advantage of this increasingly popular technology which can reduce running costs even further.

The Caprice is also fitted with some impressive safety features such as electronic stability control (ESC), an anti-locked braking system (ABS) and a set of six airbags; all of which helped contribute to its excellent five-star ANCAP rating.

The Holden Caprice offers a superb package of style and substance that proves the manufacturer has listened to its customers and produced a car which comfortably exceeds every one of their expectations.
