Holden Caprice WN - 3 2013 - 2017

The Holden Caprice is an Australian prestige sedan that marked several decades of automotive history, embodying Holden's expertise in the segment of comfortable and powerful large touring cars. Launched in 1971, the Holden Caprice model experienced several generations until its definitive discontinuation in 2017, traversing the evolution of Australian and global automotive preferences. Its imposing design and generous proportions made it a direct rival to American sedans such as the Chevrolet Impala and Ford LTD, while also competing with premium large British and European sedans. The Holden Caprice story reflects General Motors Australia's ambition to propose an elegant and well-equipped flagship, with prestigious V8 engines that symbolized Australian prestige and performance. Across successive Holden Caprice generations, the model evolved from the muscular styling of the 1970s toward more refined and aerodynamic lines, notably during the major restyling of the 2000s-2010s, while maintaining this DNA of spacious and comfortable sedan. The Holden Caprice technical specification always prioritized driving comfort, generous interior space and sophisticated V8 engines, positioning this large sedan in the Australian premium segment until its market disappearance, marking the end of an era for the local manufacturer.
