Holden gives more detail on new Commodore

Car producer Holden has revealed details of its new top-of-the-range Commodore which will replace the locally-built model in 2018.

The Commodore VXR will feature a 235 kilowatt, V6 engine linked to a nine-speed automatic transmission and will be all-wheel-drive.

The car will launch alongside the rest of the new Commodore range early next year, just months after the closure of the company's assembly operations in Adelaide.
