2018 Holden Commodore (rumor)
While the all-new Commodore will feature plenty of
new and exciting technologies, the fact that it's essentially Australia's
version of the Opel Insignia and Buick Regal might not sit well with some
Holden fans.
Among the changes we know are happening is the
switch from rear-wheel drive to front-wheel and for higher-performance models,
all-wheel drive. The flagship
2018 Commodore will feature a 3.6-liter delivering 308 HP paired to
Holden's first nine-speed automatic and all-wheel drive.
The use of GM's E2
global architecture will help the 2018 model lose somewhere between 200 and 300
kg in weight, which should also help improve fuel economy. The new Commodore will also come with adaptive
suspension, matrix headlights and a modern infotainment system with both Apple
CarPlay as well as Android Auto. It should have quite a few
strong selling points compared to the outgoing model.
The looks are still up for debate, and if
it ends up mirroring these renderings from RM Design, we wonder what current
Commodore fans have to say about it.
