Holden Z-series Commodore to jab at Falcon

Holden Commodore SV6 Z-Series Sedan.

Called the Z-Series range it provides excellent value for money. Not that Holden’s marketing guys would kick a rival when they’re down...

Interestingly the Commodore Z-Series is offered on comfort and sports models across all VE body styles. Meaning it’s aimed at a much winder spread of buyers than conventional special editions.

Holden’s sales chief, John Elsworth explains, “Whether you are looking for exceptional value, more comfort and luxury or real sports performance, there’s something for everyone with this new Z-Series range. Anyone in the market for a large sedan, family Sportwagon or a great Aussie ute, there’s really never been a better time to buy a Holden.”

In sedan and Sportwagon format the Holden Commodore Z-Series comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, front foglamps with chrome surrounds and rear park assist combined with a rearview camera. The sedan gets a front spoiler. Inside there are leather seats and steering wheel trim.

The Commodore SV6 and SS Z-Series get the above listed items, except that it receives 19-inch alloy wheels in place of the 18-inch alloy wheels already fitted. They also receive ‘Z-Series’ carpet mats.

Holden has really opened up with the SSV Z-Series sedan, Sportwagon and ute. They get the styling and handling dynamics provided by FE3 sports suspension and front Brembo brakes. The sedan has a sunroof. Again, ‘Z-Series’ carpet mats and badges make them stand out from the crowd.

Coinciding with the new Z-Series packs, Holden has introduced a new colour. Tagged ‘Alchemy’ it’s a luxurious deep purple hue based on the stunning shade that wowed car enthusiasts worldwide when used on the Efijy show car a few years back. Try saying Holden FJ with a strong Italian accent to get the right sound for the Efijy...
