model. Base price was $24,710 (Canadian dollars) for the LS and $27,400 (Canadian dollars) for the LT. In price, it was Chevrolet's top-of-the-line sedan in Canada, priced between the Malibu and Impala, but slotted in size between the Cobalt and Malibu. Sales of the Epica were slow in Canada, with the Impala and Malibu outselling those two models. The Chevrolet Epica is no longer sold in Canada as of September 2006. For the last year, a single version was sold: the LTZ at $26650. This unique trim level being fully loaded, only options were the side airbags and the Pearl White color. Some colors are unique to 2006: silver and charcoal grey. United States Insular Areas For a brief time the Chevrolet Epica was also available in the United States territories of Guam and Northern Mariana Islands, and like the Canadian version it also carried the same features. Like the Epica in Canada, it was withdrawn from the market too. Other markets The Daewoo Magnus was sold as Chevrolet Epica in other international markets too, such as Chile and China. The Chevrolet Epica sold in the Middle East (GCC) was then replaced by Chevrolet Malibu, sourced from South Korea (2012-2022). The Chevrolet Epica nameplate is now being utilized globally for the Daewoo Tosca, the successor to the V200 Daewoo Magnus. Suzuki Verona The Magnus was also rebadged as the Suzuki Verona in the United States and Chevrolet Epica in other markets, including Canada, China, Chile and Arabia. However, Suzuki announced it would drop the Verona after the 2006 model year due to low sales likely caused by the fact that the US model only came with a small 2.5 6-cylinder engine and automatic transmission while most other midsized non luxury cars had 2.0 to 2.5 4-cylinder engines and manual transmissions available with optional bigger 3.0 to 3.5 6-cylinder engines as options along with the low displacement of the 6-cylinder engine being close to most of the other competitors 4-cylinder displacements but with worse MPG. Formosa Magnus The Daewoo Magnus is also known as the Formosa Magnus in Taiwan.
