10th May, 2013

In announcing the price* for the new VF series Commodore models will commence at $34,990*, Holden has confirmed increased value will be a key component of the new model. Commodore now comes in priced between $5,000 and $9,800 less than the soon to be discontinued VE series. This means, of course, there must be some 'awfully' good deals on the outgoing VE.

Holden Commodore Evoke

Holden is launching a revised model line-up with the base model model to be named "Evoke". It will have class-leading technology as standard equipment.

Commodoe Evoke will be priced* (MLP*) from $34,990*. It comes standard with Auto Park Assist for parallel and right angle parking as well as front and rear parking sensors and a rear view camera. In addition to its new interior, the Evoke also brings new technology to Australian drivers with:

  • enhanced voice recognition,
  • an eight-inch, high-resolution colour touch screen with Holden’s MyLink app-embedded technology including voice recognition and Siri Eyes Free integration***,
  • full iPod® integration and
  • built-in apps like Pandora® and Stitcher SmartRadio™.

Powered by the 3.0L V6 SIDI engine, the new Evoke also includes other vehicle features as standard including:

  • an electric park brake with automatic release,
  • Hill Hold Control and Hill Start Assist,
  • Trailer Sway Control and
  • remote vehicle start (automatic transmission only).

Holden Calais

With Berlina gone from the line-up, the Calais is the next model in the VF’s range. Its starting price is under $40,000*.

The styling and features of Calais have made it a favourite amongst Commodore buyers. Holden has wound back the Calais MLP* by more than $8,000 to just $39,990*.

Calais also gains Blind Spot Alert and Reverse Traffic Alert, sensor key and push button start technology in addition to the styling Calais buyers expect, including front and rear design features and chrome accents.

Holden Calais V

The luxurious Calais V has a MLP* $46,990*, which is a reduction of $9,800. The Calais V is available with the 6.0L Gen IV V8 engine for $52,990*, a reduction of $9,000.

Calais V gains advanced safety technologies including Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning and a colour Head-up Display.

It also adds luxury features such as heated front seats, electric eight-way adjustable driver seat and satellite navigation with full colour mapping with live traffic updates and traffic management control. Calais V sedan also gains the Bose® premium audio system and sunroof.

Sports Models

Holden has improved the value of the SV6, with a reduced MLP* of $35,990* (down $6,800), and boosted the value of the iconic SS reducing its MLP* by $5,800 to $41,990*.

The Commodore SV6 is powered by the 3.6L SIDI V6 with the SS stepping up to the 6.0L Gen IV V8 engine, both are standard with a 6-speed manual transmission.

Building on Evoke specifications, SV6 and SS gain Blind Spot Alert and Reverse Traffic Alert technologies in addition to their bold front and rear sports styling, side skirts, lip spoiler (on sedan) and chrome exhaust tip. A rear wing is now available as a factory-fitted option on sedan for $500 on the sports models.

The MLP* for SS V is now under $50,000, reduced by $9,800 to $45,490*.

The SS V Redline now starts at $51,490* for sedan, a roll back of $6,300. Redline adds Forward Collision Alert, Lane Departure Warning and Head-up Display on all body styles as well as the premium Bose® audio system and sunroof on sedan models.

SS V Redline is the ultimate in rear-wheel drive sports performance with Brembo® brakes, forged 19 inch alloys and an updated sports-tuned FE3 suspension package.
