Muscat,
Oman – The
new generation of the legendary Chevrolet takes the tradition
of generosity to new heights to deliver one of the most
distinctive modern vehicles to travel on the roads of
Oman.
Reinforcing Caprice’s generous heritage, the all-new Caprice
makes its own statement about what a large sedan should be.
With its advanced technologies and functional, user-friendly
features, the 2007 Chevrolet Caprice is stronger and better
equipped than ever before.
Virtually every panel on the 2007 Caprice is new. High technology
headlamps, stunning tail lamps and spectacular LED side repeaters
in addition to a beautifully proportioned front grille have
all been integrated into the range. Inside,
a shift in design philosophy has created greater space and
a strong vertical appearance that puts the driver very much
in control in the centre of a cockpit environment.
The beginning of a dramatic new proportion, a 'sixth' window
was added to improve rear view visibility and the resultant
D pillar was given a dramatic rake angle, ensuring that the
tail end of the Caprice looks sculpted and flowing. Lots of
design character is packed in the rear end's profile, which
sports a very short decklid, flanked by elegant C-pillars.
At the rear the focus is on the stunning tail lamps and spectacular
LED side repeaters. An elegant chrome décor panel runs between
these, housing the nameplate. Body moldings have been deleted
to give the new Caprice a leaner, bolder look.
The new generation is available in a number of models, all
of which offer an outstanding combination of options and features
to suit customer requirements. Powered by standard 6.0 litre
V8 engines, the Caprice LS, LTZ, SS and Royale deliver a standard
peak power of 360hp (net) at 5700rpm and peak torque of 520Nm.
Both the LS and LTZ models are also available with the 3.6
litre V6 engine, delivering a peak power of 240hp (net) at
6000rpm and peak torque of 335 Nm. All four models are mated
with a four speed automatic transmission.
The body structure has also been designed to accommodate
a range of advanced safety technologies as well as offer improved
crash performance. The Caprice acclaimed
crash avoidance technology Electronic Stability Programme (ESP)
is standard on the LTZ, SS and Royale and available on the
LS. It also features the Electronic Brake Assist (EBA) functions
and Traction Control System (TCS). All four models enjoy the
proven benefits of standard ABS to improve stopping distances
in panic situations.
The 2007 Caprice embraces the very latest
in advanced computer technology to deliver safer driving
and an improved ownership experience. A new intuitive, simple-to-use
Driver Information Centre (DIC) comes as one of the outstanding
features of the new generation Caprice.
The latest Bluetooth wireless cellular
phone technology provides a seamless interface between enabled
mobile phones and Caprice’s integrated infotainment system.
Standard on the SS and Royale, this hands-free system makes
answering and ending calls a simple and safe procedure. The
system even automatically mutes the radio or CD player whilst
using the Lumina’s quality speaker system for the incoming
call audio.
