2011 HSV Grange WM3

The HSV Grange WM3 has received a host of upgrades and improvements including more power, a new more dynamic styling package, and a variety of impressive new technologies.

As a result, the HSV Grange now features the company’s unique ‘hi-flow’ intermediate exhaust with bi-modal rear mufflers. Maximum torque remains 550Nm at 4600rpm.

The HSV Grange WM3 goes on sale at the end of September 2010, and becomes the second HSV model (following GTS) to be powered by the company’s 325kW 6.2-litre LS3 V8 engine.

HSV’s focus on technology and innovation sees the introduction of three new and unique technologies to the HSV Grange WM3.

As standard, the Grange will receive HSV’s Enhanced Driver Interface (EDI) which is an intuitive touch screen performance data interface. EDI delivers real-time vehicle dynamics and performance data to the fingertips of drivers.

HSV Grange will also be available with HSV’s new optional LPI technology, whereby the engine can operate on both LPG and regular unleaded petrol.

This unique technology has seen significant improvements in running costs and emissions outputs – by up to 15 per cent – but retains all the power and torque that customers have come to expect from HSV.

HSV’s Engineering Manager Joel Stoddart highlighted the uniqueness of this technology.

Also as standard, HSV Grange receives Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) which provides the driver information and warning when objects are passing through their vehicle’s blind spot.

HSV’s introduction of SBZA is the first time such technology has been fitted to an Australian-made car.
