In 2016, the Vauxhall Maloo will storm the UK with a new facelift version and 100bhp more power than the previous model. The exterior remains mostly the same, with the unique sailplane falling directly behind the cockpit.
For around $81,500 (£54,500), you can own a supercharged, 6.2-liter V8-powered Vauxhall Maloo LSA pick-up with 528bhp and 671Nm of torque.
The engine that also powers the current Vauxhall VXR8 GTS propels the “ute” from 0 to 60mph in just 4.6 seconds; that’s almost Porsche Carerra 911 territory. In this configuration, the Maloo becomes the fastest and more powerful commercial vehicle in Britain.
Apart from the more docile model, also available, which is naturally aspirated, the hardcore variant of the Maloo features some more tweaks, such as stiffer spring and dampers, launch control, a limited-slip diff or an electronic stability control program.
The interior is also improved with Bluetooth, leather, four-way electric driver's seat adjustment, a dual-zone electronic climate control and a revised entertainment interface with an integrated navigation system.
According to AutoExpress, new 20-inch alloy wheels, redesigned front splitter, and many new colors complete the all-new Vauxhall Maloo.
Those of you who need a pickup truck for their business but can’t get rid of the desire of owning a sports car, the Maloo embodies both. The bad news is you would have to hurry because it is known that the Australian branch of GM will shut down its local plant in 2017, so this is likely to be the latest ever version of the hardcore pick-up in the UK.
Apart from the sport-utility pickup Maloo, the Vauxhall VXR8 range also includes a ClubSport sedan and Wagon, two other hardcore models that will put a smile on your face whether you are driving to work in the sedan or go on a road trip with your family in the station wagon.
