What size engine is in an epica?

The Epica’s engine sizes vary by market and year, but the most common configurations are a 2.0-liter petrol engine, a 2.5-liter petrol V6, and a 1.9-liter diesel. Exact options depend on the model and the country where it was sold.


What is the Epica?


The Epica is a mid-size sedan produced for GM by Daewoo/GM Korea and sold in various markets under different brands, including Opel/Vauxhall and Chevrolet, during the late 2000s. It was offered with a mix of petrol and diesel engines to suit regional emissions and market preferences. Engine availability shifted over the model’s lifecycle, so not every specification appeared everywhere.


Common engine sizes


The following engine sizes were commonly associated with Epica models. Note that not all engines were offered in every market or year.



  • 2.0-liter petrol engine (approximately 2,000 cc)

  • 2.5-liter petrol V6 engine (approximately 2,498 cc)

  • 1.9-liter diesel engine (approximately 1,898 cc)


These sizes represent the typical configurations seen in Epica models across different regions and times. For a specific car, the exact displacement should be confirmed from the vehicle’s documents or identification plate.


Market variations


Engine options varied by region and model year. In Europe, the 2.0-liter petrol and 1.9-liter diesel were among the more common configurations, while some markets or trims could include different engines or adjustments to meet local regulations and demand.


European market


European Epica versions frequently paired the 2.0-liter petrol engine with a 1.9-liter diesel option, aligning with GM’s European mid-size strategy during the period.


Other markets


Beyond Europe, Epica variants could differ, offering engines that suited local fuel availability, taxes, and preferences. Availability was not uniform across all countries or calendar years.


How to confirm your engine size


To know the exact engine size of a specific Epica, check the VIN plate near the driver’s door or under the hood, consult the owner’s manual or the vehicle registration documents, or contact the dealer with the vehicle’s identification details.


Summary


In brief, Epica engine sizes were not uniform worldwide. The most common options were 2.0 L petrol, 2.5 L V6 petrol, and 1.9 L diesel, with exact availability varying by market and year. Always verify the engine size for a specific car through official documents or the VIN.
