The 2018 Holden ZB Commodore Sportwagon has been
spied testing in the USA sporting a V6 and all-wheel drive, signalling a return
of the hot wagon.
Spied testing in the USA yesterday, Holden will release a V6 all-wheel drive version of the
next-generation Commodore that could be exclusive to Australia. The front end
of the car sports the faux-inlets that feature on the sporty VXR model, but
this pictured vehicle appears to be a mid- or base-specification of the V6
all-wheel drive, given the lack of VXR badges, smaller wheels and smaller
brakes.
Proudly wearing a Holden badge at the front and a
Commodore badge at the rear, the ZB Commodore is finished in a red paint
colour, similar in appearance to the current Holden Commodore SS-V Redline
Sportwagon. While wagons have fallen out of fashion in Australia, a V6 wagon
would make the ZB Commodore one of the few in the segment with a sporty station
wagon option.
Most other wagons in this segment come with diesel
or low-capacity petrol engines and front-wheel drive — with the exception of
the jacked up ‘off-road’ wagons like the Golf and Passat Alltrack. The V6 ZB
Commodore features a naturally aspirated 3.5-litre petrol V6 engine that
produces 313 Hp of power and 370 Nm of torque. It moves from standstill to
100 km/h in around 6.0-seconds and will use around 9.0-litres of fuel per 100 km.
It also uses a nine-speed automatic transmission.
