Once in a generation
Look at it without wanting to drive it. Drive it
without wanting to own it. You can’t. You won’t.
Designed from the ground up for Australian
drivers and Australian driving conditions –
and crowned Wheels Magazine 2006 Car of
the Year – the Holden Commodore is a once in
a generation vehicle.
Rear wheel driven – of course – it rewards
drivers with the ride and handling, technology,
safety and end-to-end build quality of vehicles
many times its price.
From the perfect proportions of its dynamic
body contours, down to the invisible weld
technology pioneered for its manufacture,
the Commodore is a tribute to the imagination,
technical brilliance and relentless passion
of Holden’s engineers.
Complete with Electronic Stability Program
– plus front, side and curtain airbags – all as
standard, it is quite simply a world-class
driver’s car. One that raises benchmarks.
Redefines expectations. Changes perceptions.
And one you will be proud to call your own.
Get inside. It’s time to go.
SS V-Series in Voodoo
Precise and intuitive handling
Power the Commodore through a bend,
and you just know its 25-year domination
of Australian motor sport is destined to
continue to go on for another 25 – at least.
Courtesy of its new Linear Control Suspension
system and forward mounted variable ratio
steering, the Commodore handles with
a precision and agility more akin to a small
sports car, than a generous five-seater.
Turn the wheel a little, the Commodore
veers a little. Turn it a lot, the car turns
sharply. No vagueness. No waft. No driver
compensation. Just precise and intuitive
handling. At any speed.
It’s the same with braking. The pedal feel
is solid, inspiring confidence. The tyres are
purpose designed for the new model.
The four-wheel disc brakes are larger, more
durable, and designed to resist fade – even
under heavy use. Further boosted by advanced
safety systems, including Electronic Stability
Program, the result is the highest performing
braking system ever in a Commodore.
You’d have to go a long way to find better.
SS V-Series in Voodoo
It simply demands to be driven
Not only does it handle like a smaller car,
the Commodore even looks more compact.
But here’s the thing. The new model actually
has a longer wheelbase and wider track,
a higher roofline and more space in the boot.
Which helps explain why the Commodore
now grips the road more tightly, feels more
spacious inside and lets you carry even more
‘essentials’ on road trips.
SV6 in Voodoo
And the road is exactly where the Commodore
belongs. With its sporty, sloping stance, short
front and rear overhangs, flared wheel guards
and fender vents, it simply demands to be driven.
So don’t resist. After all, when you own a car
that looks and handles like the Commodore,
you don’t need a reason to drive somewhere.
You just go for it.
A vehicle you can rely on in every respect
Some people fall in love with cars from
the word go. But not Holden engineers and
designers – they’re rarely satisfied.
So throughout its development phase,
they virtually crash tested the Commodore
repeatedly, using advanced computer modelling,
for six years. Crashed it with cars, trucks, walls
and poles. From the front, the rear, the side and
on angles. Not with just one crash test dummy,
but with many, representing virtually every size
and shape of driver and passenger possible.
The Commodore was also road tested more
than any other car in Holden’s history.
Not only on test tracks, highways and city
streets, but gravel tracks in the crippling
heat of the Australian outback, and the icy
roads of Sweden and New Zealand in winter.
The end result – of these, and the countless
other computer modelled, prototype and
development car tests – is not just a happy
engineering and design department, it’s a
vehicle you can rely on to go – and keep going.
In every respect, in every situation.
Anything less, and it wouldn’t be a Commodore.
SS in Voodoo
Quality of thought
Sit back and admire the view – wherever you go.
The top of the range Commodore SS V-Series
lets you co-ordinate your vehicle inside and out,
with colour matched exterior paint, instruments,
dashboard and leather appointed seats.
But no matter which model you go with, you’ll
find an interior fit and finish quality comparable
to Europe’s most prestigious – higher priced –
vehicles. An achievement that required stripping
and rebuilding an entire production line to
operate within the narrowest tolerances in
Holden’s history.
Just as obvious, is the quality of thought applied
to controls and instrumentation.
Information is divided into two zones. ‘Driver
essentials’ appear directly in front of you in an
electronic driver display and on four instrument
dials. Additional information shows on the
centre console display. Controls are where you
expect, feel the way you expect and operate
the way you expect.
For another example of thoughtfulness, look
no further than the front door storage, which
now holds a 600ml bottle – upright. Or play
your favourite CD through the audio system.
Directional high frequency speakers are in
the dashboard. High mounted bass/mid range
speakers are on all four doors. The result
is music to your ears.
Seating has also been refined, providing more
support for those inevitable long trips – but
without removing that unique road connection,
so much a part of the Commodore driving
experience.
Quality thinking from go to whoa – that’s
the Holden Commodore.

Safety
Safety in numbers, and large numbers at that. Commodore’s advanced
new multi-layered driver defence system surrounds you – literally – with
state-of-the-art active and passive safety features. The former to help
prevent collisions; the latter to help prevent injury in the event of a collision.
Active safety
Up to 200 times a second – that’s
how often the Commodore’s active
safety systems monitor on-road
dynamics. Everything from the
vehicle’s speed, lateral acceleration
and rotation, to the steering wheel
angle and brake force you apply.
When normal tolerances are exceeded,
one or more of the following systems
initiate integrated – non-intrusive –
counter measures to help ensure you
retain maximum control of the vehicle.
ESP® Electronic Stability Program
ESP® constantly compares the vehicle’s
movements with the steering wheel
angle to determine if the vehicle
is moving in the direction you intend.
If skidding appears imminent, ESP®
applies brake pressure to individual
wheels as appropriate and, if necessary,
trims engine power. This dramatically
increases turning and cornering safety,
especially in ‘evasive action’ situations.
Co-ordination of active safety features
Be it from the Electronic Stability
Program (ESP®) for turning and
cornering. The Traction Control System
(TCS) that minimises slip when
accelerating. Or the Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS) with Electronic Brake
Assistance (EBA) and Electronic
Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) that
helps you stop quickly with maximum
control. You can expect 360° support
from the Commodore’s integrated
active safety systems.
TCS Traction Control System
Designed to minimise slippage during
acceleration, TCS recognises if either
rear wheel has insufficient grip and
adjusts drive force and brakeforce
accordingly. It reduces wheelspin when
accelerating on wet and icy roads, and
also in ‘split’ conditions, such as when
a vehicle has two wheels on bitumen
and two on a gravel verge.
ABS Anti-lock Braking System
If wheel ‘lock up’ is detected under
forceful braking, ABS momentarily
reduces brake pressure at the affected
wheel. This improves braking efficiency
– reducing stopping distances on most
surfaces – and helps maintain steering
control to ensure the vehicle remains
directionally stable.
ABS
EBA triggers
ABS sooner
Stopping distance with
EBA, EBD and ABS
EBD Electronic Brakeforce Distribution
When a vehicle brakes, weight transfers
to the front wheels. By regulating the
brakeforce applied to each wheel, EBD
ensures optimal balance between front
and rear brakes, which helps minimise
stopping distances.
Stopping distance

TCS
EBD
ESP
EBA Electronic Brake Assist
In emergency braking situations, few
drivers actually press the brake pedal
firmly enough to achieve maximum
braking performance. EBA is designed
to sense how fast you press the brake
pedal in an emergency, and maximise
braking pressure to optimise braking
performance.
So what if…
You have to avoid an unexpected
obstacle in the road, end up with
two wheels on the gravel verge,
and then need to brake suddenly.
ESP
ESP® brakes the left rear wheel
momentarily to avoid understeer.
ESP® brakes the right front wheel
momentarily and reduces engine
power to correct oversteer.
TCS reduces torque to the left
rear wheel to reduce slip.
Sensing an emergency stop, EBA
initiates maximum brakeforce,
ABS maximises brake efficiency and
EBD maintains optimal front/rear
brake balance.
Stopping distance will depend on road
surface and vehicle load conditions
Passive safety
A collision is a contest between impact
energy and your vehicle’s safety
features. You want everything possible
on your side.
That’s why the Commodore features
Holden’s Adaptive Occupant Restraint
System – which includes dual-stage
front airbags, side and curtain airbags
– as well as multiple load paths to
help channel impact energies and
a safety cell reinforced with ultra high
strength steel.
Co-ordination of passive safety features
To help protect occupants from
collision forces, Holden’s Adaptive
Occupant Restraint System uses
forward and side sensors to detect
the severity and direction of a collision,
triggering the appropriate passive
safety measures.
Most impressive of all, in a frontal crash,
the Commodore can automatically
initiate and co-ordinate all on-board
passive safety measures in an incredible
90 milliseconds (ms) – about the time
it takes to snap your fingers.
Safety cell, crumple zones and
load paths
In frontal and rear collisions, impact
energy is absorbed by crumple zones
and channelled away from the driver
and occupants via multiple load paths.
The Commodore’s Multiple load path
strategies are also integral to side
impact protection, as is the vehicle’s
safety cell. Strategically reinforced with
steel seven times stronger than your
average steel, it offers protection
against passenger safety cell intrusion.

Pyrotechnic seatbelt pretensioners
When an impact of sufficient severity
is detected, small explosive charges
force the front seatbelt buckles
towards the cabin floor. This tightens
the seatbelts and helps hold both
driver and front passenger firmly
against their seats.
60 - 65ms
Dual-stage front airbags
For maximum protection in certain
frontal collisions, the front airbags for
driver and front passenger inflate in two
stages, according to the impact severity
and their respective seat positions.
The 60 litre driver airbag can fully
inflate in 45 milliseconds. The front
passenger airbag, which is oversized,
can inflate to a full 125 litres in just
55 milliseconds.
Curtain and side impact airbags
Side curtain airbags help provide head
and upper body protection for front
passengers and left and right rear
passengers in certain side-on collisions.
Side impact airbags help provide
additional chest and thorax protection
for the driver and front passenger.
85ms +
Load limiters
The seatbelts incorporate a load
limiting system that helps control
the level of force applied to an
occupant during an accident.
This in turn helps reduce seatbelt
related injury.
Steering and brake pedal safety
In severe frontal impacts, the steering
column can collapse and to help
prevent leg injury, the brake pedal
can detach.
Emergency shutdown
Following a collision where airbags
or seatbelt pretensioners have
deployed, on-board safety systems will
turn off the engine and fuel pump,
unlock the doors, and turn the hazard
and interior lights on, if battery power
is available.
