Epica 2.0
Overview
Unconventional Brilliance
The Chevrolet Epica is an example of the rewards that can be enjoyed by taking the path less travelled. Its sleek sweep-back styling, now comes with Full Body Kit that includes all-round skirting installation – front, rear, and sides, rear spoiler, exhaust finisher, LED tail lamp cluster and the latest 16-inch alloy rims.
Inside, the Epica driving experience is further enhanced by new hybrid 2-tone leather upholstery as well as a touch-screen DVD entertainment system with 6-Discs Player.
But go beneath the surface and that’s where you’ll discover the real gem of the Epica.
Powered by an engine system that is usually found in larger capacity cars belonging to makers such as BMW, the Epica is pure joy and sweetness on the road.
For a straight 6 (transversely mounted) to be packed in a 2.0 engine is in itself a feat. And it’s a feat that becomes obvious when you put the in-line 6-cylinder engine to work. Sweeten it further with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission and what you have got is a car that is not only fuel efficient but also responsive and a pleasure to drive in any situation.

Exterior
Dynamic styling

On the surface, the Epica’s design is a stunning reflection of the enhanced performance and sophistication that lie underneath.
The sleek swept-back styling is detailed with dynamic headlights, alloy wheels, and side mirrors with subtle chrome headlights – so you arrive in style, wherever you go.

LED TAIL LAMP CLUSTER: A brilliant implementation of safety into design such as the LED tail lamp cluster gives Epica a stylish and contemporary edge.

PROJECTION HEADLIGHTS: The Epica’s headlights feature an innovative projection function that illuminates brighter translucent light.

REAR SPOILER: Subtle but effective, the new rear spoiler adds to the elegant profile of the Epica.

EXHAUST FINISHER: The sporty exhaust finisher is installed, in addition to the full body kit, as a standard.

FULL BODY KIT: Full Body Kit for the Epica 2.0 is installed as standard and includes all-round skirting: front, rear and sides.

Interior
Quiet, spacious, luxurious

Driving it, the Epica is impressively quiet, so you can really appreciate the crisp contemporary interior appointed with new hybrid 2-tone leather and touch-screen DVD entertainment system with an integrated 6-disc player.

HYBRID 2-TONE UPHOLSTERY Hybrid 2-tone upholstery comes as standard for Epica 2.0. Contemporary and sporty design.

ELECTROCHROMIC REAR VIEW MIRROR To prevent glare from blinding the driver, the Electrochromic rear view mirror automatically dims the reflection rate in response to ambient light and headlamps, thus enhancing visibility at night.

DOUBLE DECK CENTRE CONSOLE: This centre storage unit features a double-deck design which allows the storage of various size articles. The double switch operation allows an easy and convenient access to the storage space of your choice.

PASS-THROUGH ARMRESTS: A versatile pass-through rear armrest makes it easy to store longer items. The seats can split 60/40 to maximise seating and carrying.

SHOPPING BAG HOOK: Hang your groceries on the convenient shopping bag hook, next to the front passenger side and just sit back and enjoy the drive.

LARGE BOOT SPACE: The Epica’s trunk can hold up to 480 litres, which is equivalent to 4 standard golf bags.
Safety
As safe as it is sophisticated
The Epica is not only dynamic but it is also reassuring. A steel safety cage surrounds the car, providing reinforced protection in the event of a collision.
The Epica also features a host of safety features as standard, such as dual front airbags for the 2.0 litre version; dual front airbags and 2 side airbags for the 2.5 litre version, ABS, traction control and ISOFIX child seat safety fittings – so all you need to think about is where to drive next.

LOW PRESSURE AIRBAGS: The airbags inflate at a lower pressure level to prevent secondary injury on passengers, in particular children, the disabled and the elderly.

SEAT SIDE PROTECTOR: In the event of a side collision, the seat side protectors provide an added measure of protection.

SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER(LOAD LIMITER IMBEDDED): In the event of a collision, the seat belt’s pre-tensioner instantaneously pulls in and then releases the seat belt to prevent injury caused by the belt and to enhance the airbag’s effectiveness.

EARLY CONTACT SYSTEM: An advanced safety concept that guides the impact from a side collision to the hip area, which is the strongest part of the human body, and disperses it evenly.

ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) AND TRACTION CONTROL (TC): A 4-wheel disc braking system with Anti Lock Braking System and Traction Control are fitted as standard.

4-WAY IMPACT DISTRIBUTION DESIGN: The vehicle body dissipates a collision force to the top, centre, bottom and sides of the vehicle to minimise the impact on the passengers.
