Holden Commodore Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1997–2002) — Third Generation
The third-generation Holden Commodore pairs family-friendly practicality with genuine rear-wheel-drive character. Available as a Sedan or Estate 5-door, it offers a choice of manual or automatic transmissions, giving Australian drivers a well-rounded large car for daily duties and long-distance comfort.
The Holden Commodore engine range balances usable performance with everyday drivability. In the Sedan, a 4.9-litre gasoline unit can be paired with a manual transmission, rewarding drivers who enjoy a more engaged feel. Meanwhile, the Estate 5-door offers a 5.7-litre gasoline engine matched to an automatic, making relaxed progress easy even when fully loaded. Both configurations send power to the rear wheels, which suits towing and spirited driving alike.
