Chronology
PredecessorHolden Commodore (VE)
SuccessorHolden Commodore (ZB)

The Holden Commodore (VF) is a full-size car that was produced from June 2013 to October 2017 by Holden, the former Australian subsidiary of General Motors.[1] It was available under the luxury Holden Calais nameplate; utility models were sold as the Holden Ute.

It succeeded the VE series, and was the second iteration of the fourth generation of the Holden Commodore. It was the last model in the series to be manufactured in Australia. It was offered as a sedan and wagon. The long-wheelbase Holden Caprice (WN) released in 2013.

From 2013 to 2017 the VF Commodore was rebadged in the United States as the Chevrolet SS. Holden Special Vehicles (HSV) sold VF Commodore-based models in the Gen-F series, HSV also sold models in the United Kingdom under Vauxhall VXR8 range.

In December 2013, General Motors (GM) announced that it would discontinue all Australian production in 2017.[2]

Development

The VF Commodore was built on the GM Zeta platform, first used by the VE Commodore. The VF was an evolution of the VE, with several visual changes. The VF featured new styling at the front and rear; changes included altered headlights, altered tail lamps (on sedans only), alterations to the plastic of the intake and grille and the use of a lip-spoiler instead of a rear wing on the performance models.[3] The body shell, windows, doors, mirrors and roof were all carried over from the VE.[4] The wheelbase and track also remain unchanged.[5] The long-wheelbase Holden Caprice (WN) released in June 2013.[6]

The interior underwent major changes, with switches such as the boot lid release being relocated from the glovebox to the doors and the fitting of an electronic handbrake.[5] All models were fitted with an eight-inch touch screen in the centre console, with keyless entry and auto-park assist also standard across all models. Optional features included: a head-up display on the windscreen, forward and rear collision warning systems, blind spot monitors and a lane departure warning system.[7] The VF used an electric power steering system, replacing the hydraulic system used on previous Commodores, improving fuel economy at the expense of steering feel.[8]

The majority of the testing for the VF was completed in Australia but it was also driven in Germany,[9] the Middle East, North America and Sweden.[4] Show-car versions of the SS V and the Calais V were unveiled to the public on 10 February 2013, with the first pre-production models completed in April 2013.[10]

Safety

The VF achieved five stars in the ANCAP safety ratings. On top of the ratings tests, the VF was found to have good whiplash protection for occupants, though pedestrian protection was classified as marginal, with the car scoring 15.41 of a possible 36 points in this area.[11]

In May 2014, Holden recalled nearly 42,000 VF and WN Caprice models after a potential problem with the front seatbelts was identified. It was found that the pretensioner wiring harness for the seatbelts could make contact with part of the buckle assembly, leading to premature wearing of the wiring harness which could disable the pretensioner system in the event of an accident.[13][14] The VF was recalled again a month later, when it was found that the drive gear for the windscreen wiper motor could fail.[15] LPG models were recalled in July after it was identified that the feed hose could develop a slow leak at the end of the vehicle's lifetime, creating a (low) risk of fire.[16]

Powertrains

The VF uses the same engines as the VE, with minor alterations to improve performance and fuel efficiency,[17] while the automatic gearbox was redesigned to give more appropriate gear selections.[8] The VE's E85 compatibility was carried forward to the VF V8 engines, and the V6 engine until it was dropped in the 2015MY.[18] Fuel economy has also been improved by the use of aluminium body panels and components, leading to the VF being 43 kilograms (95 lb) lighter than the VE, and the electric power steering system. The new styling has also improved the aerodynamic efficiency, with the coefficient of drag dropping from 0.33 to 0.30.[19] As a result, fuel consumption has dropped by between three and eight percent depending on the engine and specification level.[20] Starting with the VF II 2015, the 6.0-litre L77 was replaced by the 6.2-litre LS3.[21] The VF II model also saw the discontinuation of the LPG versions of the Commodore.[18]

V8 Supercars

The program for the V8 Supercar version of the VF was headed up by Holden Motorsport technical manager Peter Harker, with the aero package designed by Triple Eight Race Engineering's Ludo Lacroix in conjunction with Doug Skinner from the Holden Racing Team.[71] The VF Commodore race car prototype, fitted with VE Commodore body panels, ran for the first time on 13 October 2012 at Holden's Lang Lang Proving Ground as part of the series' aerodynamic validation. The homologated version of the VF Commodore V8 Supercar was first shown by Garry Rogers Motorsport on 11 February 2013; this was followed by an official unveiling by the Holden Racing Team at Holden's headquarters later in the day.[72]

The VF was the first Holden model built to New Generation V8 Supercar regulations, a formula designed to decrease the cost of building and repairing cars.[73] The V8 Supercar version features a 5-litre V8 engine, 18-inch control wheels, a specially designed aerodynamics kit, a polycarbonate windscreen as well as many category control parts.[74] It was the first Holden V8 Supercar to feature an end-mounted rear wing since the VP Commodore in the 1990s.[71] Only certain body panels are common between the road car and the V8 Supercar, as well as the headlights and tail lamps, with the rest of the components being custom made by each team.[75]

The VF had a successful debut at the 2013 Clipsal 500, with Craig Lowndes and Shane van Gisbergen taking their cars to victory in the two races. Van Gisbergen also claimed both pole positions.[76] The VF Commodore won twenty-eight of the thirty-six races in 2013, with Triple Eight Race Engineering, Tekno Autosports, Brad Jones Racing, Garry Rogers Motorsport and the Holden Racing Team all taking wins in the new Commodore. Holden secured the 2013 Manufacturers' Championship with fourteen races remaining in the season.[77] Jamie Whincup won the championship in his Commodore, ahead of Triple Eight Race Engineering teammate Lowndes.[78]

The VF Commodore secured its first Bathurst 1000 win at the 2015 race by the Red Bull Racing Australia team with Craig Lowndes and Steven Richards.[79]

In 2017 the VF Commodore driven by Jamie Whincup won the Supercars championship in final race after McLaughlin was penalized for causing Whincup's teammate Craig Lowndes to hit the wall, damaging his suspension.[80]

Advertising

As part of the VF Commodore launch in Australia, two television commercials were produced. The 'Turns Heads. Changes Minds.' commercial demonstrated the vehicle's available head-up display and Automatic Parking Assist feature. The 'Think now. Think Tomorrow. Think Holden.' is centered around a patriotic support theme.[81] In conjunction with the launch of the VF Series II, a brand new television commercial titled "Power Ahead".[citation needed]
