The Holden Commodore (ZB)[1] will be an imported German Opel Insignia. The model range for the 2018 Commodore has not yet been announced. It will be the first Commodore in thirty years to come with a four-cylinder engine standard, and the first Commodore in the forty year production to have no V8 option. It is expected to come with a range of engines including a four-cylinder petrol, four-cylinder diesel and a six-cylinder petrol engine option. Front wheel drive and all wheel drive will be made available across the hatch and wagon body styles. It is expected that an offroad version in the same vein as the Holden Adventra, Volkswagen Passat Alltrack and the venerable Subaru Outback will be offered in due course.[2]
GM Holden made the decision to discontinue Australian manufacturing of the Holden Commodore due to falling sales and profit loss.
