1. Holden VE Commodore: journey in Australia
When it comes to full-size automobiles in the Australian car market, the VE Commodore is
considered among few models in the series range that have made an impression among careusers
here. The VE model succeeded the previous VZ model, and starting from 2006 until 2013.
The launch of this model marked the onset of fourth generation of Holden Commodore range in
Australia. Before VE, all the automobiles under this name were based on Opel platform, however, VE
was the first of its range to be exclusively developed and manufactured by Holden in Australia.
In spite of being an all new model to the market, its engine specification was heavily inspired by the
VZ series. It had an engine comprising a 3.6 litre, V6 configuration that could churn maximum power
of 240 horse power and 330 Nm of optimum torque. High end range under the VE model was
powered by a 6.0 litre, V8 engine whose maximum power churning capacity went up to 360 hp and
maximum torque of 530 Nm.
When Commodore VE was introduced in Australia’s auto market, it has direct competition from BF
Falcon from Ford. Other competitors launched around the same time were Toyota’s Aurion model
and Mitsubishi 380 front wheel drive. Despite tough competition, VE Commodore thrived in the
automobile market with consistent sales record in comparison to its competitors. Moreover, besides
Australia, the model enjoyed a favorable response in the car market of New Zealand as well. In
Middle East and South Africa, the model is sold under a different name, as Chevrolet Lumina.
