Holden received the new generation of the European Opel/Vauxhall Vectra sedan in 2002 and unveiled it along with its hatchback sibling.
General Motors thought that a car designed for the European environment would do well on the Australian roads. There were only some mild changes to the bodywork and some technical modifications. The only engine designed and engineered specially for the Australian market was the 3.2-liter unit, which proved to be the most reliable.
The exterior featured a new design trend for its headlights, with a rectangular, swept-back look and a pair of headlamps inside. Its grille sported a horizontal slat and the round badge on it. In the liftback version, the Vectra featured a thick C-pillar and a straight, flat trunk lid. Like its European siblings, it sported corner-mounted taillights and a wide panel adorned by a chromed slat.
Inside, Holden had to stick with the European design and carried over all the parts from Vauxhall Vectra, which was built for the U.K. The base trim levels featured cloth upholstered seats, while the upper trim levels received a leather-clad interior. Holden offered a navigation system with a small screen placed between the center air vents from the dashboard. The comfortable bucket seats offered some bolstering.
Under the hood, Holden offered a wide choice of engines ranged from a four-pot 1.8-liter gasoline to a 3.2-liter V6. There were a few options for diesel-powered powerplants.
