The first overseas-built Commodore went on sale during the week, and Commodore are setting the record straight about some of the misconceptions out there about the new car.<\/h3>\n

\u201cThere’s more to our reimagined icon than some might think,\u201d Holden says in a new \u2018fact sheet<\/a>\u2019 published online:<\/p>\n

Myth 1: Power only comes from the rear wheels.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe new \u2018Twinster\u2019 All-Wheel Drive system is the first time AWD has featured across the Commodore range. This powerful V6 engine (available in selected models<\/em>) channels 235kW and 381Nm to all four wheels, with torque distributed exactly where it\u2019s needed for superior power, grip and safety in all conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Myth 2: It’s a lot smaller than before.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe only noticeable difference is the sleek sloping roofline of the Liftback, leaving 12mm less headroom. We\u2019re talking millimeters here. The overall dimensions are very similar to the current Commodore, so when you hear \u2018a lot\u2019 smaller, it just proves how little they know.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Myth 3: It can’t be both drivable and versatile.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe all-new Commodore Tourer says otherwise. There\u2019s plenty of boot space to pack in all your adventure gear; 560 litres with the rear seats up or 1665 litres down. And once you set off, All-Wheel Drive gives you the confidence that, no matter where you\u2019re headed, you\u2019ve got all the power and grip you need.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Myth 4: It’s not built for Australian roads.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Commodore was designed and built in Germany, but this is our most technically advanced Commodore ever, and has been adapted specifically for Australian roads. Holden engineers have accumulated over a hundred thousand kilometres of local testing to fine-tune features like the suspension, steering and stability controls, and ensure crucial additions like V6 All-Wheel Drive.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Myth 5: It has to be big to be powerful.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBetter beats bigger when it comes to the new 2-litre turbo petrol engine. It\u2019s the fastest and most powerful entry level engine ever offered in a Commodore. With 191kW\/350Nm through the front wheels, the all-new Commodore has more power than the 3-litre V6 in the VF Evoke and the same torque as the 3.6-litre V6 in the VF SV6!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
