The HSV Grange was launched in 1996 as Holden Special Vehicles’ flagship luxury sedan. Based on the long-wheelbase Holden Statesman and Caprice, it offered more power and a sportier edge while keeping the focus on comfort. It gave HSV a rival to European performance limousines, pairing V8 engines with a stretched, executive body.

Through the 2000s the HSV Grange evolved with each new Holden platform. The WH and WL series introduced bigger engines and sharper styling, while the VE-based WM Grange of 2006 brought the most advanced chassis to date. Overseas, some versions were sold as the Vauxhall VXR8 or Chevrolet Caprice in limited numbers, expanding HSV’s reach.

The final HSV Grange arrived in 2013 on the VF platform, using the LS3 6.2-litre V8 with 340kW. It marked the end of an era when HSV and Holden shut down local production in 2017. Today, it remains a collector’s car symbolising Australian-built performance luxury.

The line-up currently starts at $41,140 for the Grange Sv and ranges through to $48,400 for the range-topping Grange Sv.
