Muscat,
Oman –
Chevrolet Epica
takes the brand to new levels of interior and exterior
design, feature refinement, safety and engineering excellence
to reinforce its strong position as one of the best value-for-money
vehicles in its segment.
With 24-valve 2.0-litre six cylinder
engine and its elegant body language, the dynamically styled
four-door sedan also rings in a new design era at Chevrolet.
Highlights include class leading
generous amount of space, superior noise insulation and a
comprehensive range of standard comfort and safety equipment.
Chevrolet Epica
features a distinctly arranged front section, where particular
highlights include the large wrap-around clear-glass headlamps,
the substantial cross bar carrying the large Chevrolet bow
tie in the chrome grille and fog lamps that integrate harmoniously
like spotlights into the bumper. The side view is that of
a strikingly modern vehicle with an eye-catching rising,
wedge-shaped profile. It is marked by a striking character
line that extends to the front and rear wings.
Passengers also benefit from
maximum safety and drive comfort. The modern chassis is equipped
with McPherson struts at the front and a multi-link suspension
at the rear. The Epica is fitted with four-disc brakes (ventilated
at the front), four-channel anti-lock braking system and
electronic brake-force distribution. The standard safety
package in the Epica includes many passive safety features
like the stable passenger cell (made 40% of high-strength
steel), standard belt force limiters and belt tensioners,
standard front airbags for the driver, in addition to optional
passenger, side and head airbags.
The equipment in the new Epica
conforms to the level of the upper mid-size segment. In the
pleasant interior, the ergonomically designed cockpit with
its large circular instruments makes life easy and comfortable
for the driver. Even the basic version has a height-adjustable
driver's seat, electrical window raisers at the front and
rear, remote-controlled central locking, thermal insulation
glass, air-conditioning and an FM/AM CD audio system.
The Epica justifies its claim
as a superb car not only in terms of its equipment. In matters
of space too, the 4.81-meter long, front-wheel drive Epica
can easily accommodate up to five passengers with luggage.
It also sets standards from a technical point of view. The
new Epica will comply exactly with the requirements of customers,
who expect not only a lot of car for their money, but also
attach value to high comfort, safety and functionality.
The two transversally installed,
highly compact units are noted for their particularly smooth
running, which is mainly attributable to their in-line design
to give perfect mass balance. Unlike the V-design, neither
free mass forces nor moments of inertia produce troublesome
vibrations. A number of intelligent measures have also been
taken to insulate the car body against noise, making the
new Epica a particularly quiet member of its class.
The elegant design,
the exceptionally generous standard equipment features make
it a leader in its segment. Many of these features are only
standard in higher category vehicles.
