In a bid to boost sales of its top selling car, Holden has released a new Series II special edition, the Commodore Equipe. Priced at $36,990 drive-away for the sedan and $38,990 drive-away for the Sportwagon, Holden claims the new model represents almost $10,000 worth of extras.
The new special edition Holden Commodore Equipe adds several exterior options to the package, such as 18-inch alloy wheels, front fog lights, Equipe badges and chrome grille accents. The sedans also get decklid chrome eyebrow moulding while Sportwagons get a rear cargo blind instead.
Inside the Commodore, additional features comprise leather seats and steering wheel, rear parking sensors, a rear view camera and chrome accents around the instrument cluster add to regular issue items like iQ touch-screen system and Bluetooth connectivity.
John Elsworth, Executive Director of Sales, Marketing and Aftersales for Holden, says "...the Special Edition Equipe models introduce a raft of fantastic extra equipment including a rear view camera."
Powered by Holden's 3.0-litre direct injection V6 engine, outputting 190kW/290Nm, the 2012 Holden Commodore Equip also comes as standard with a six-speed automatic transmission, anti lock brakes, stability control and six airbags.
Elsworth wasn't coy when outlining the Equipe's objective: "At such a competitive price we expect it to be a winner in our showrooms."
Currently the Holden Commodore looks to retain its mantle as Australia's most popular car for 16th year in a row, despite the Mazda3 giving it a real scare for several months of this year.
The Commodore Equipe model will "definitely not be a full time model" according to a Holden spokesperson, but the company has not put limits on its production. If there's demand, it will create more supply.

It has safety and security features. Nice overall and it looks comfortable.
You know, I've recently read in an article that Holden is trying to improve their boot space, which I think is good news to everyone. As a car enthusiast, I would love my car to be both efficient in engine and design. An improvement with the design without compromising the other important aspects of the car is a huge plus.
