New NG flagship adopts Euro VXR badging for 235kW V6

Holden's New 'SS' Commodore

ARE YOU sitting down? Welcome to the new face of Holden four-door performance, the Commodore VXR. With the iconic SS badge retiring with the V8 engine, Holden has applied the VXR badge to its new range-topper, hoping the equity built by recent imported performance Insignias and Astras is enough to entice a new generation of driving enthusiasts to the brand.

Under the bonnet is a 235kW/381Nm 3.6-litre naturally aspirated V6 backed by a nine-speed torque-converter automatic. All-wheel drive is standard and Holden claims the VXR will sprint to 100km/h in “around six seconds”. Key to the new Commodore’s ability to entertain is its Focus RS-style “Twinster” all-wheel drive system, which does away with a traditional rear differential and instead employs a pair of clutches at the rear axle.
