The next incarnation of Australia’s top-selling car – the Holden Commodore – has been revealed. The VEII Commodore, critical to the future of Holden’s Adelaide factory, was unveiled at the company’s Melbourne head office today ahead of its full release in early September.
While the exterior has undergone subtle changes, the Series II VE Commodore has been engineered to run on E85 bio-fuel, which is a blend of up to 85 per cent ethanol and 15 per cent unleaded petrol. Holden chairman and managing director Mike Devereux said the new engine technology for the Commodore was proof Holden was listening to its customers wanting better performance. “Better performance means driving more efficiently, more sustainably and the addition of simple-to-use technology that makes driving safe and fun at the same time,” he said.
