Australian automaker and GM subsidiary Holden is celebrating the Commodore’s 35th anniversary by adding a special edition model to the VF Commodore lineup.
Named International edition, the new iteration is available as a sedan and wagon and comes with Dark bezel headlamps, LED daytime running lights, “International” badging and 18-inch alloy wheels. Inside, the anniversary model gets leather appointed seats and trim, leather wrapped steering wheel and gear shifter, rear cargo blind on the Sportwagon variant, while safety features includes Blind Sport Alert and Reverse Traffic Alert.
Motivation is provide by a standard 3.0-liter SIDI V6 engine with 248 bhp (185 kW) and 290 Nm (214 lb-ft) of torque, but customers can also have an optional 3.6-liter LPG V6 rated at 241 bhp (180 kW) and 320 Nm (236 lb-ft) of torque.
“We wanted to celebrate the anniversary of an icon by introducing even more great value features on the all-new VF Commodore. The VF range has been very well received and we’ve continued to look at how we can offer maximum value, so we’re delighted to be able to introduce an even more compelling package to large car buyers. At such a competitive price, and loaded with technology, we expect it to be another winner in our showrooms,” said Phil Brook, Holden executive director, vehicle sales, service and marketing.
The first-generation Holden VB Commodore, loosely based on the Opel Rekord E, was introduced in October 1978.
