Overview
With SUVs virtually hijacking the family wagon market, Holden came up with the Sportwagon. Based on the same wheelbase as regular Commodores, the new Holden is as much about style as it is about practicality. It comes in much the same flavours as the sedans - standard engine for the Calais is the direct injection, 210kW/350Nm 3.6-litre V6. The 6.0-litre 270kW/530Nm V8 is optional. Despite losing load space, the Sportwagon helps make up with neat engineering such as the forward-hinged tailgate. The top shelf Calais V Sportwagon adds rear-seat DVD, leather trim, power for both front seats and nine-speaker sound.
