HSV Maloo

HSV Maloo

FROM $59,290

Gone but not forgotten. The iconic HSV Maloo was a titan in the Australian muscle car segment for over two decades, combining pure V8 power through GMs steady lineage of LS powertrains with the iconic Australian ute cosmetics.

Built at HSV’s factory in Melbourne, the Maloo left us in 2017 along with the rest of Australian car manufacturing.

It didn’t go quiet though, with the last model, the GTSR W1, packing a 6.2-litre V8 capable of delivering a mind-blowing 474kW/815Nm. They now sell for upwards of $1 million.

The line-up currently starts at $59,290 for the Maloo R8 Sv Black Ls3 and ranges through to $89,100 for the range-topping Maloo R8 Tourer Lsa 30Th Edition.

HSV Maloo FAQs

HSV Maloo: Engine fault code

I think you could be looking in the wrong area. U2105 is an engine fault code, which perhaps helps explain why it comes on under heavy acceleration or travelling uphill. I would have a diagnostic check done on the car to see if you can better home in on the cause of the problem.

Long term value of HSV GTO?

I don't expect the prices to change much in the next 5-10 years, but in the longer term I think the HSV GTO will become a much sought after car. Look after it and keep the kays down as much as you can.

Maloo airbags deployed unexpectedly

I have no doubt that it was frightening and I'm equally as sure that the experts you have spoken to are correct, and that the explanation you have been given is pure fantasy. It would have to be a major side impact to trigger the bags and it would seem that just hasn't happened. Something being flicked up from the road is not going to set the bags off. Go back to Holden and demand a proper explanation.
