The Holden Caprice is the highest model luxury Holden that is available on the market. The Caprice is a fully optioned out version of the Holden Statesman. Leather seats and V8 engine comes as a standard feature in the Caprice. There are a few items that differentiate the Caprice from the Statesman. The grill and upright Holden badge is different to the Statesman.
Holden adds another chapter to the continuing success story of its long-wheelbase luxury cars with the release of the WK series Caprice and Statesman.
Holden Chairman and Managing Director, Peter Hanenberger, says the Caprice and Statesman are currently exported to ten countries, and their sales success here and abroad reflects the fact that the hallmarks of quality, refinement and value are universal.
Caprice advertises its luxury sports tourer status and appeal to younger buyers with its lower stance, nine-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels, low-profile tyres and design cues like fl bezels and chrome highlights on the projector headlamps, fog and cornering lamps, a sports graphite honeycomb grille and twin chrome exhaust tips.
The new WK series Caprice heralds sharp and aggressive styling cues, a retooled interior that is unique in the Holden line-up and, perhaps most importantly, it's focus has changed from being an all-out luxo cruiser to a more sporty-but-well-equipped long wheelbased (LWB) prestige vehicle.
While the Caprice is still a Statesman at heart, soaking up much of the disfigured and mangled mess that we call country roads, it offers a well-damped and smartly sprung setup that is fairly responsive when the curves begin to tighten.
The Caprice is listed as a five-seater vehicle, but the deep, luxurious, almost airliner-like ergonomic rear buckets are generously sculpted for two occupants - like the Monaro - and though there is a centre seat belt, the third rear passenger must sit on the edges of both side seats, which is uncomfortable.
