Opel Commodore Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1978–1982) — Third Generation
The third-generation Opel Commodore is a rear-wheel-drive family car offered as a Sedan and a practical Estate 5-door, pairing smooth six-cylinder refinement with straightforward mechanicals and room for four or five adults.
Every Opel Commodore engine in this generation runs on gasoline, with the inline-six layout giving quiet, unstressed cruising rather than outright urgency. Power reaches the rear wheels, and the transmission is typically a manual gearbox, with an automatic suiting calmer driving; expect relaxed highway pace and a healthy thirst.
