Practicality. Versatility. Spaciousness. Safety. Performance. You can justify your decision all you like. But your ultimate reason for owning the Sportwagon – and all the reason you need – is that you want one. And have done from the moment you laid eyes on it.Who can blame you? Turning practical into practi-cool, there has never been a Holden wagon like it. Never one so eye-catchingly sleek and refined. So purposeful and capable looking. So Australian, yet so obviously brimming with world-class automotive sophistication.But this vehicle has far more going for it than looks. Thanks to Holden’s new Spark Ignition Direct Injection technology, Sportwagon now has one of the most advanced locally manufactured 6-cylinder engines on Australian roads today – the all-new SIDI Direct Injection V6. Teamed with an all-new 6-speed automatic transmission with Active Select, it delivers the six-cylinder performance you expect, with some models achieving fuel efficiency and CO2 emission levels beyond the capability of some smaller four-cylinder cars.Sportwagon also features a five-adult cabin that’s large, luxurious and packed with the latest in driving and entertainment technology. An expandable cargo area meticulously designed to ensure easy and ergonomic access in even the tightest spaces. Linear control suspension to ensure precise, agile handling. And a full complement of advanced safety systems – including Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and six airbags – to deliver 5-Star ANCAP rated safety across the range.For families on the go. For business on the move. For the sheer pleasure of an endlessly satisfying journey to a destination only you know. Nothing compares with the Holden Sportwagon.

A view, a weekend, a feeling I will never forget. A gift to keep and carry always. They say everyone finds a place that resonates; where you feel at one; where you connect. This was mine.

nothing compares

It was a classic birthday surprise: no clues, just a listof what to bring and 30 minutes to get ready. Three hours later, the car door opens and I step into a postcard…

never forgottenonce seen,

Your eyes see a wagon. Your mind sees a sports car. Your imagination already has you behind the wheel. At a stroke, Holden design engineers have transformed the traditional wagon into an aerodynamic object of desire.Fluid. Seamless. Peerless. The Sportwagon’s streamlined body form sweeps from the tip of its sculpted nose, to the tail of the tapered roof that so cleverly disguises the spacious load area within. Strikingly sleek and stylish, the vehicle’s exquisite proportions are further accentuated by its next generation Commodore design DNA. The muscular wheel arches, the signature fender vents, the motorsport-inspired sloping stance – it’s all there to admire, and be admired.Is it the most stunning wagon to ever grace Australian roads? The answer is right in front of you. Just as it was for the local and international design experts who named Sportwagon the Wheels Automotive Design Category Winner at the 2009 Australian International Design Awards.Once seen, never forgotten, Holden Sportwagon is an idea whose time has come.

accessories

Because your needs can change from one minute to the next, the always accommodating Sportwagon adapts just as quickly.

Camping trip for two? The 60/40 split rear seats fold flush to give you a continuous storage area that is almost 2 metres long and has a 2000 litre cargo capacity. Family outing? Upright, the rear seats have room and comfort to spare for three adults. Golfing weekend with a couple of mates? Fold down one of the rear seats, stow your gear and go!

But it’s not just size and flexibility that wins the space race for Sportwagon. To help reduce back strain, the cargo floor is elevated and

the clever cargo blind^ can be raised and lowered while fully extended. Load hooks recessed into the floor and side walls combine with the four position cargo net* to ensure secure carrying and easy access. And a load area side lamp lights your way when the sun is down or the cargo blind is extended.

Ergonomics also come to the fore up front. The driving position offers a commanding view of the road. Instrumentation is clear, concise and conveys all essential information at a glance. While centre console controls come to hand effortlessly and operate intuitively.

You’ll also take comfort in knowing Sportwagon’s seats are generously bolstered, with rear passengers enjoying the added benefit of enhanced side support. And that every model across the range is equipped with a long list of standard features, including air-conditioning, power windows and a CD audio system.

storage

Flush folding 60/40 split rear seatingAt 895 litres, the Sportwagon’s rear cargo space should accommodate most of your needs. But for those times when big isn’t quite big enough, you can extend the space to 2000 litres in an instant by folding down all rear seats. What’s more, because the seats fold flush, you’re presented with a single, continuous floor. No ridges. No gaps. Just a flat cargo area that allows you to slide items into place, rather than reach, lift and lower them.

Forward hinged tailgateTraditional wagon designs have the tailgate hinged toward the end of the roofline. By moving the hinge point forward, and thus enabling the tailgate to swing up more steeply, Holden engineers have unleashed a raft of practical, everyday advantages for owners.

To open the Sportwagon’s tailgate, for example, you require just 268mm – less than a foot – of clear space behind. So you can park close to walls or other cars and load or unload the vehicle without inconvenience. The forward hinge point also creates more head room for you when leaning into the cargo area. And when open fully, the tailgate has a high ground clearance, eliminating the risk of accidental head knocks for all but the tallest people.

Elevated cargo floorThe Sportwagon’s cargo floor is appreciably higher than previous Holden wagons. This means less need to bend when putting down or picking up cargo items, and less stress on your back as a result.

Four position cargo net Used in conjunction with the Sportwagon’s

flush mounted load hooks on the cargo floor and side walls, the four position cargo net* keeps everything in its place, in any of four places:

– at the very front of the cargo area, within easy reach of rear passengers

– in the centre of the cargo floor, or– out of the way, against the left or right

cargo area wall.

More space for smart ideas There are plenty more examples of Sportwagon’s smart storage ideas to be found in the cargo area, including:

– On each side wall, just inside the tail gate, flush fitting shopping bag hooks spring into view when touched.

– Toward the rear on the driver’s side, an integrated storage compartment holds smaller cargo items, and is also home to a 12 Volt power outlet. Another 12 Volt outlet is located on the centre console at the front of the cabin.

^ Optional on Omega and Berlina* Standard on Calais and Calais V-Series, and

available as an accessory on all other models

Tilting cargo blind^ Traditional cargo blinds have one major drawback – the only way to access the cargo underneath is to retract and then re-extend the blind. At best an annoyance, at worst unwanted stress on the back caused by over-reaching.

But the Sportwagon’s rear cargo blind is different. With its innovative, two-way tilt mechanism, you simply raise the extended cargo blind up, access your cargo, then lower it back into place. A flick of the wrist is all it takes.

Even better, a side-mounted load area light is strategically positioned below the blind height. Day or night, you’ll never need to grope around in the dark when retrieving cargo items.

It’s not just how much you can store in the new Holden Sportwagon that will impress, but how easily you store it. Thinking outside and inside the box, Holden engineers have created a superbly functional and ergonomic cargo space that’s easier for you to access from both within and out of the vehicle.

Transmissions

All new 6-Speed automatic with Active Select for SIDI V6 engines

Six meticulously spaced gears allow this silky smooth all-new transmission to maintain optimum engine economy across a wide range of driving conditions. Available on the Omega, Berlina, SV6, Calais and Calais V-Series for the first time, it also offers Active Select for DIY shifting when the mood strikes.

6-Speed manual

Designed with a super smooth short throw for more spirited driving, the 6-speed manual transmission has the ideal first gear launch feel and low cruising revs in sixth. Standard on the SS and SS V-Series, it’s the obvious choice for those who prefer a ‘hands-on’ approach.

6-Speed automatic with Active Select for Gen IV V8

Paired perfectly to the Gen IV Alloy V8 engine, the optional 6-speed automatic transmission has a truly world class shift feel, with the added advantage of one touch switching between automatic or manual gear shifting via Active Select. It’s available as an option on Sportwagon SS, SS V-Series and Calais V-Series.

First it was Active Fuel Management. Now to the Sportwagon range of Ecoline alternative fuel and fuel-saving technology comes another first for Holden – the Spark Ignition Direct Injection V6 petrol engine.

Available in 3.0 and 3.6 litre variants, the all-new SIDI Direct Injection V6 is one of the most technically advanced 6-cylinder engines on Australian roads – and one no other local manufacturer can match for fuel economy. For the first time, you can enjoy the spaciousness, comfort and practicality of a true family-sized car while experiencing petrol bills normally seen on some smaller 4-cylinder cars.

The Sportwagon powertrain line up also includes the iconic 6.0 litre Gen IV V8 with Active Fuel Management†. Switching automatically from eight to four cylinder operation during certain driving conditions, you get full V8 performance when it’s needed, and improved fuel economy when it’s not.

Performance SIDI Direct Injection V6

A quantum leap in V6 engine design, Holden’s all-new SIDI Direct Injection technology delivers a wish list of performance breakthroughs.

Increased fuel economy. Increased power and smoother power delivery over a broader rev range. Lower CO2 emissions. The list goes on.

Traditional engines inject fuel into the inlet port where it mixes with air prior to entering the cylinder. But with Spark Ignition Direct Injection, fuel is injected under high pressure into the cylinder directly; the inlet port carries air only, and the two mix inside the cylinder. The impact is profound:

– Fuel delivery is more precisely controlled– More air can be introduced into the cylinder – Fuel evaporates faster and more uniformly, cooling

the air and enabling the cylinder compression ratio to be increased

All of which converts fuel into higher engine outputs with far greater efficiency; and because less fuel is required, fewer CO2 emissions are produced.

Other key SIDI engine features include:– Aluminium engine block and cylinder heads– Quad cam phasing with variable timing on both inlet

and outlet valves, and– Optimised exhaust manifolds with close-coupled

catalytic converters

3.0 Litre SIDI V6

Far and away the most fuel-efficient V6 engine in its class, yet powerful enough to haul a 1.6 tonne tow load with ease, the 3.0 litre SIDI Direct Injection engine delivers effortless V6 performance as standard on both Sportwagon Omega and Berlina.

– 5.5 Greenhouse rating and 4 stars from greenvehicleguide.gov.au

3.6 Litre SIDI V6

With over 200kW of smooth and seemingly endless free-flowing power, plus torque to spare across the range, the 3.6 litre SIDI variant is the engine of choice for the Sportwagon SV6, Calais and Calais V-Series.

Generation IV Alloy V8

Standard with the Sportwagon SS and SS V-Series, and optional with the Calais V-Series, this engineering masterwork develops a staggering 270kW* of power and 530Nm# of torque with manual transmission, and 260kW*/517Nm# with auto.

With that legendary muscle now goes the intelligence of Active Fuel Management† (AFM). An important new Holden technology, AFM temporarily de-activates four of the eight engine cylinders in certain driving conditions when less engine power is required.

You can look forward to gains of up to one litre per 100km and potentially more under certain circumstances. Cylinder de-activation and re-activation takes less than 20 milliseconds and is virtually imperceptible.

Other key engine features include:– Aluminium alloy construction, creating a

lightweight engine for a smoother ride– Less weight in the front end, allowing more

precise steering response, which translates into more agile handling

– A one-piece induction system made from composite materials, for smooth airflow and superior breathing

Teamed with your choice of the 6-speed manual transmission or 6-speed auto with Active Select, the Gen IV delivers astonishing performance and exceptional towing capabilities.

Protecting what you can’t afford to lose – what can’t be replaced – that’s what vehicle safety is all about, and where Holden Sportwagon is unsurpassed.

Every vehicle in the range has been independently assessed by the government-endorsed Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP). Every one received a 5-star ANCAP safety rating – the absolute highest rating possible on Australian roads.

Every time you get behind the wheel, everywhere you drive, your Sportwagon surrounds and safeguards you and your family with comprehensive state-of-the-art active and passive safety systems.

To help you avoid an accident, there is everything from Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS Anti-lock braking, to Traction Control, Electronic Brake Assist and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution.

Should a collision occur, the vehicle instantly determines the severity and direction of impact and activates any required occupant protection systems, which includes seat belt pretensioners and six airbags – dual-stage for front driver and passenger, front side and side curtain.

Front and rear crumple zones further maximise your safety, as do the multiple chassis load paths that help channel impact energies, and the vehicle’s safety cell, which is reinforced with ultra high strength steel.

Omega. Berlina. SV6, SS or SS V-Series. Calais or Calais V-Series. Whichever Sportwagon you drive, all of these safety measures come standard.

Rain sensing, flat blade wipers Not only does Calais V-Series detect rain on the windscreen, it determines how heavily it’s falling, and adjusts wiper speed accordingly. Because the wipers utilise flat blades, screen clearing ability is also improved over traditional wiper design.

Integrated DVD player Providing entertainment on the go for rear seat passengers, the roof-mounted DVD player includes a fold down colour screen, remote control and dual wireless headphones. When the vehicle is stationary, front seat occupants can also watch via the centre multifunction display.
