For The Epica has lots of space for your money, and even the base trim is generously equipped. It drives reasonably well on every type of road.
Against It's unrefined, the interior is dated and the styling is bland. Plus, the poor residual values make it an expensive car to own.
What Car? says
Spacious and well equipped for its low price, but the Epica is a bit bland and dated. The base model makes the most sense to buy.
There are 3 Chevrolet Epica versions available
Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
Although it's a little more expensive than the petrol engine, the diesel is the one to go for in the Epica. Not only does it give very similar performance to the petrol, it is more flexible and frugal.
Buyers with a keen eye on their budget can also keep their running costs down easily with Chevrolet's Fixed Price Servicing programme. For a one-off fee of £349, you're covered for 3 years or 30,000 miles (whichever occurs first), and £449 gives you cover for 3 years or 60,000 miles. What’s more, you can pass on any balance if you decide to sell your car.
The servicing package covers parts and labour for the standard services, but not tyres and certain wear and tear parts, which do not form part of the schedule.
