The sports-flavoured RS-V sits in the middle of the all-new ZB Commodore line-up, with a list price of $46,990 in Liftback guise or $49,190 as a Sportwagon. 

Sitting a full $9700 above the RS, the RS-V adds leather seats, heated front seats, paddle shifters a larger 8.0-inch multimedia screen with built-in GPS navigation system and DAB+ digital radio, a colour head-up display, wireless phone charger, interior ambient lighting, upgraded Hi Per strut suspension and a sportier rear bumper.

The RS-V is only available with the 235kW/381Nm 3.6-litre V6 engine and all-wheel drive, which also means a nine-speed torque converter auto. 

Official combined fuel consumption is 8.9L/100km for the Liftback, or 9.1 for the Sportwagon. The V6 will impressively deliver its best on regular 91RON unleaded.

Back when all cars burned fuel and couldn't drive themselves, Mal was curing boredom by scanning every car his parents' VB Commodore drove past. His childhood appreciation for the car world exploded during a three-year stint in the US, and serious questions were asked when he spent a good chunk of his uni career perfecting lap times at Wakefield Park. Mal got his big break scooping the VE II Commodore, before a stint at Overlander magazine and kicking off his online career with The Motor Report in its heyday. These days he's exactly the same height as Michael Schumacher and uses his powers for good at the helm of CarsGuide's editorial team. Mal proudly shuns brand allegiance and counts three young kids, an EH Holden, NA MX-5, KE20 Corolla, W116 Mercedes-Benz and the world's most versatile Toyota Echo among his personal stable. He also craves a Subaru Vortex, so get in touch if you know where to find one.
