Holden Commodore (VS)

The Holden Commodore (VS) was a full-size car built by Holden from 1995 to 1997 for sedans and wagons, with the utility continuing to 2000, the fourth and final iteration of the second generation of the Commodore. Launched in April 1995 as a mechanical update of the second generation architecture to support sales until the all-new VT arrived in August 1997, it changed little outwardly beyond a redesigned Holden logo and wheel trims. Its Ecotec version of the Buick V6 gave 13 percent more power, 17 kilowatts more than the VR, and cut fuel consumption by 5 percent, and a Series II followed in June 1996. The Acclaim Safety Pack was the first Australian built car to offer a passenger-side airbag as standard, and the VS was the last Commodore sold as a Toyota Lexcen.
