Overview
Changes to the VE Series II V Calais are minimal, but worthwhile. The interior has been given a modern and luxury feel via a tri-colour treatment, and the new iQ system - noted for its audio capabilities the integrated SUNA 'Live Traffic Information' system. The 6.0-litre AFM V8, now E85 compliant, develops (on petrol) 260kW/517Nm and returns 12.3L/100km through the six-speed 'Sports Auto' and 19-inch alloys. With a complete list of safety features, including ABS, stability/traction control, brake assist and six airbags, the five-star ANCAP rating is fitting.
