What is it? The new ZB generation Holden Commodore is the first fully imported model that replaces the locally produced VF Series. It represents the biggest change in the nameplate’s 40-year history, with the previous sedan body style switched to a liftback design, the rear-wheel drive layout replaced with front- …

It’s a sign of how much times have changed, the fact we’re here comparing a Holden Commodore with a Mazda6, but here we are doing just that. While this is a comparison that would have been inconceivable just a few years ago, the two models are now surprisingly comparable, even …

It’s a Commodore but it’s not a Commodore. Yup, forget what you know about the big four-door sedan that once graced the driveway of your parents’ or grandparents’ home. Forget about the meaty throb of eight firing cylinders that was once your alarm bell every morning as your dad started …

Holden’s all-new ZB Commodore has blitzed exhaustive test drive comparisons run by SA Police with the first new RS V6 All Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicles joining the police fleet this week. Holden expects to supply more than 100 of the new high-tech Commodores as general duty and highway patrol cars …

The next-generation Holden Commodore is finally upon us, with the first imported production model set to hit Holden showrooms from late February 2018.

General Motors has taken the wraps off the new Opel Insignia Sports Tourer, which when arrives in Australia, will be the all-new Holden Commodore Sportwagon. Following closely on the heels of the reveal of the next-generation Commodore, the Sportwagon is said to offer space and sophistication in equal measures. Accompanying …

Holden has saved the best until last for its final year of locally produced Commodore, with the new range gaining extra standard equipment and subtle visual enhancement. Holden Director – Communications, Sean Poppitt, said the 2017 Commodore honoured the attributes that have elevated it to be one of Australia’s most …

This is it, the last Australian developed and built Holden VF Commodore, signalling the end of an era with the Series II revision, the biggest update since the VF’s launch in 2013. Appropriately, the countdown to the end of local production has shifted the public’s attention toward the lineup’s performance hero, the V8-powered …

Car makers these days pay a great deal of attention on lower emissions, better fuel efficiency, reduced weight and smaller displacement engines. Of course at the top of the crop there are still big powered V8 saloons but they don’t change hands for anything under six figures. Fortunately, that’s not …

Since the last Holden Monaro went out of production in 2006, the question remains as to whether Holden will revive the Commodore-based coupe. So far, concepts have been the furthest Holden have got to. And here is another depiction of a new Monaro that has just surfaced. Based on the …

I approached the Holden VF Commodore Evoke with slight melancholy, because I know this gleaming new car will be the last of its line – the last truly indigenous Commodore. Like the Sumatran Tiger which has fewer than 400 in the wild, the Commodore is high on the automotive endangered …
