New

It's the Commodore, but not as you know it.

Sure, it still has all the space. It still surrounds you with 5-star rated safety. And, of course, it still performs like a Holden should. But in the very clever Series II Commodore, that performance now comes with fuel economy better than some smaller 4-cylinder cars, plus the ability to run on emission-shrinking E85 Bio-ethanol, a blend of up to 85% ethanol and 15% petrol.

With the futuristic new touch-screen Holden-iQ System onboard, it now also seamlessly integrates your digital life with your time behind the wheel. Seven Sedan models. Seven Sportwagon models. All powered by intelligent technology, and all complete with distinctive new style enhancements, inside and out. Holden Series II Commodore – the future has never looked better.

Holden-iQ

Featuring the latest in touch-screen and Bluetooth® technology, the Commodore’s all new Holden-iQ System lets you play music from your choice of iPod®, MP3 player, USB device, CD and the vehicle’s own internal flash drive*. Access your mobile phone address book to make and take calls, hands-free without touching your phone. Operate the rear camera and satellite navigation system (including real time traffic updates), where fitted. And adjust your dual zone climate control. It’s a level of control and flexibility that turns cabin space, into personal space.

And in the new Series II Commodore, it’s all at your fingertips.

It's always accommodating

It’s one thing to be spacious. But it’s another altogether to be space efficient. That’s why the very clever Series II Commodore is both. Large in capacity and super practical, it’s packed with storage optimisation ideas that make it easy to load, access, re-organise and unload your belongings. Like the Sportwagon’s innovative forward-hinged tailgate, elevated rear cargo floor and flush-folding split rear seats.

Inspired Luxury

It’s a feeling we all get from time to time. The need to put some space between yourself and the rest of the world. It’s a desire the flagship Calais V-Series interior fulfils every time you drive. More like a designer home than a cabin, its euro-inspired style combines premium finishes and sumptuous appointed leather luxury with state-of-the-art technology, to create a driving environment and experience that is simply second to none.

Performance

Exhilarating rear-wheel driven performance has always been the hallmark of Commodore’s sports lineup. Now it’s also got serious smarts. The 3.6 litre SIDI Direct Injection V6 delivers its 210kW to the SV6 with even more kilometres to the litre. The Gen IV V8 with Active Fuel Management (AFM) can run on Bio-ethanol, which means more power to the road than ever from the SS and SS V-Series.

All of this, plus Holden’s legendary sports-tuned ride and handling, in vehicles that command attention every bit as much as they command the road.

Safety

You may not notice Commodore’s advanced safety technology when driving, but rest assured, it’s watching over your every moment behind the wheel.

To help you avoid an accident, the vehicle’s active safety systems feature everything from Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and 4-wheel disc brakes with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), to Traction Control System (TCS), Electronic Brake Assist (EBA) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD).

Should a collision occur, its passive safety systems instantly determine the severity and direction of impact, then activate any required occupant protection measures, including seatbelt pretensioners and six airbags – dual-stage front airbags for the driver and front passenger, side impact airbags for the driver and front passenger, and side curtain airbags. Front and rear crumple zones further maximise your safety, so too the multiple chassis load paths that help channel away impact energies, and the vehicle’s safety cell which is reinforced with ultra high strength steel.

The result is a 5-star ANCAP rating – the maximum possible – and the peace of mind that comes with owning one of the safest vehicles available in Australia today.
