Pricing details for the new ZB Holden Commodore have
just been announced in Australia. The new vehicle, nothing more than a rebadged
Opel Insignia, will start at US$ 33,690 for the entry-level LT Liftback model
with front-wheel drive and a 2.0-liter turbo petrol engine. This starting price
is US$ 1800 less than the previous-generation base model but is US$ 1200
pricier than a comparable Mazda6.
Elsewhere in the range is the LT Liftback starting
from US$ 36,990 with a diesel engine. Customers will also have the option of an
LT Sportwagon, kicking off at US$ 35,980 for the petrol and US$ 38,590 for the
diesel.
The next trim version offered is the RS. Available
in both Liftback and Sportwagon configurations, prices start at US$ 37,290 and US$
39,490 respectively. Base RS models feature the same 2.0-liter as the LT but
for US$ 40,790, an uprated powertrain with a V6 and all-wheel drive system
delivering 308 hp is available. For those looking to take things to the next
level, the RS-V trim is offered from US$ 46,990 in Liftback guise or US$ 49,190
as a Sportback.
The performance range is rounded out by the
Commodore VXR V6 AWD with 315 hp, priced from US$ 55,990 and complete with
adaptive dampers and Brembo brakes.
For customers more concerned with luxury than
performance, Holden continues to offer Calais variants as with previous-gen
Commodores. Prices for 2.0-liter-equipped Calais models start at US$ 40,990 and
rise to US$ 51,990 for the range-topping Calais with the aforementioned 308 hp
V6.
The new Holden Commodore will be available from
Holden dealerships from late February 2018.
