HSV CLUBSPORT R8 TOURER 2015

The 2015 HSV Clubsport R8 Tourer combines the character of a performance-oriented Australian wagon with the everyday practicality of a five-door load carrier. Its R8 Tourer series designation, white exterior and substantial 6.2-litre V8 give it a distinctive presence, while the wagon body provides a more versatile shape than a conventional sedan.

With 12,944 KMs displayed, this example has relatively low recorded distance for its model year. The six-speed automatic transmission with active sequential operation offers the convenience expected in daily driving while retaining manual control when the driver wants greater involvement. A limited-slip differential and sports suspension are listed among the equipment, complementing the Clubsport’s enthusiast-focused specification without compromising the usefulness of its wagon layout.

The cabin is equipped with leather-accented upholstery, sport seats, power front seats and a leather steering wheel, creating a supportive and clearly purposeful driving environment. A head-up display, satellite navigation, multi-function control screen and mobile phone connectivity add useful information and convenience, while the multi-function steering wheel helps keep common controls close to hand. The audio system includes an 11-speaker sound system, MP3-compatible audio and a six-CD stacker, with AUX and USB input also provided.

Practical details are well represented. Rear parking distance control, park assist and a reversing camera make manoeuvring the wagon easier, while keyless entry and drive, central locking remote control, power windows and power mirrors support routine use. Dual-zone automatic climate control allows separate temperature settings for the front occupants, and the split-fold rear seat gives the load area added flexibility when carrying larger items.

Safety equipment includes dual front airbags, side front airbags, head airbags, anti-lock braking, brake assist, electronic brake-force distribution, electronic stability programming and traction control. Forward collision warning and lane-change warning are also listed, along with front fog lights, LED daytime running lights and dusk-sensing headlights. Hill holder assistance and an electric parking brake further support everyday operation.
