Overview
Changes to the VE Series II V Calais are minimal, with the inclusion of a lip spoiler for the sedan. The interior retains its luxury feel and the new iQ system, noted for its audio capabilities and the SUNA "Live Traffic Information' system, comes in for improvements to compatibility and functionality. 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. The complete list of safety features includes ABS, stability/traction control, brake assist and six airbags, making the five-star ANCAP rating appropriate.
