Recent Changes

  • For the 2009 model year, the Holden Epica variant of the Tosca recieves a minor mid-cycle facelift which entails a new front grille, rear fascia and alloy wheels. Underneath the skin deep modifications, the Epica now also boasts upgraded safety equipment: ESP and six airbags are now available as standard throughout the range. Underhood, the Epica sports a new 148 hp 2.0 litre turbodiesel powerplant mated to GM's 6T40 six-speed automatic transmission with Active Select in place of the old 2.0 litre petrol V6 and returns a fuel economy rating of 7.6 litre/100km (31 mpg). The larger 2.5 litre Petrol V6 also now gets matched to a six-speed auto. [1]
