The HSV Grange is a luxury performance sedan manufactured by HSV with the Australian automobile company of Holden a subsidiary of General Motors. The car uses a LS2 6.0 Litre Generation Four V8 engine, which produces Convert|307|kW|hp|0|abbr=on at 6000 rpm and Auto Nm|550|0 of torque at 4400 rpm. The vehicle is heavily based on the Holden WM Caprice with most of its mechanics and interior specifications conceded over to the Grange. The rear of the car features a boot lip spoiler that is discretely positioned to give the subtle effects of a sports image yet at the same time keep its luxury appearance. Rear LED brake lights feature on the car and the newly introduced MagneRide at the touch of a button. Performance mode noticeably reduces body roll and pitch during cornering, giving the Grange more agility and composure in press-on driving and the luxury option provides the car with a much more softer and smoother ride. Special HSV badges are positioned around certain parts of the car to differentiate it from the Caprice.
