As the name implies, the special Commodore gets a series of
black exterior accents such as the grille, spoiler lip (sedan only), and the
surrounds of the daytime running lights. In addition, the cars get Black
edition badges and ride on bespoke 18-inch alloys featuring a two-tone finish.
For an extra $1,000, the sedan and ute body styles can be upgraded to a larger 20-inch
Baretta alloy wheel set.
There’s not much going on inside the cabin, but Holden is
adding red contrasting stitching on the seats and will sell the Black edition
with a color head-up display, satellite navigation, and front “Black Edition”
carpet floor mats.
You can get all of these goodies on the Commodore
VFII SV6 and SS models for an additional $1,000 over the regular versions.
The two come generously equipped with the eight-inch MyLink infotainment
system, rearview camera, auto park assist, and reverse traffic alert. Holden
mentions the Black edition will not be offered with leather upholstery, not
even as an optional equipment.
As a refresher, local production of the Commodore will come
to an end by late 2017, but the name
will solider on for an import model which will have a front-wheel-drive
layout. The car in question is going to be the next-gen
Opel Insignia set to be unveiled this October at the Paris Motor Show.
