Included in the launch of its own new GEN-F range, Australia's leading performance-car manufacturer, HSV, introduced complete specs of its own luxury/sport models - Senator Signature and Grange.

Both versions get a raft of new technologies - design, a total interior re and an all - new powertrain, with the Senator Signature also taking advantage of the total exterior styling make-over.

Senator Signature

Updated Daytime is housed by a deep fascia Running Lamps that may now run together with the headlamps.

Wrapping the wheels are Continental 5P tyres that combine to provide improvements in ride and grip comfort.

In the rear, a brand new decklid is complimented with distinctive HSV LED tail lamps and a luxurious lip spoiler. The new "diffuser" style rear fascia homes the daring, quad exhaust outlets.

The interior make - over is equally as the outside as substantial. An upgraded instrument panel with suede-style inserts, a fresh instrument cluster, gauges, centre console, appliques' and door trims blend to help improve Senator Signature's appointment amounts.

The driver's seat also features 3 position memory as a premium, 9- speaker BOSE sound system completes cabin atmosphere.

Just like all the remainder of the GEN-F variety, Senator Signature includes a raft of new technologies including:

Electric Park Brake
Electric Power-steering
Passive Entry/Push Button Start (with Remote Start available using the automatic transmission)
Automatic Park Assist
Consistent with its luxury / sport positioning, Senator Signature also sees a bevy of operation systems and further driver convenience.

The driver environment advantages of the inclusion of comfort systems and four extra security - Lane-departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Head-up Display and Rain-sensing Wipers.

From the handling and ride viewpoint, the automobile can be, fitted with third-generation Magnetic Ride Control (MRC) featuring two independent configurations - Activity and Touring. Software and hardware improvements combine to provide sharper handling, better body-control and substantial improvements in ride quality within the E3 design.

Senator Signature now comes standard with a Driver Choice Dial, to help the driver in manipulating the different electronic vehicle performance techniques at his disposal.

Located conveniently behind the gear-shifter, the Driver Choice Dial adjusts the vehicle's ESC, Traction Control, Launch-control (manual transmission only), Electric Power-steering, MRC and Bi-Modal Exhaust based on three unique pre-set modes - Touring, Sport and Operation. In the process, the vehicle's handling qualities immediately change.

"We know our Senator Signature client expects elevated degrees of luxury and a somewhat more delicate presentation", said HSV's Managing Director, Phil Harding. "We are confident that the styling, engineering and function enhancements provided with all the brand new model, together with all the upgrade in strength, will truly hit the mark".

Grange

Consistent with its comparable luxury/sport positioning, HSV's flag-ship long-wheel-base model also gets the power-train update and all the inside feature updates to be launched in the GEN-F Senator Signature.

Exterior enhancements are confined to the new 20$1 luxury cast alloy wheels in Dark Stainless.

"Grange has historically operated on another product life-cycle to your shortwheel- base and utility variants", mentioned Harding. "But, given the depth of the make-over for the total amount of the number, we felt it was too-good a chance to avoid. The extensive interior and powertrain update to Grange helps v GEN-F make-over and we are confident our very unique customer-base will enjoy the additional refinements", Harding said.
