Model overview

The Holden Commodore is an executive automobile that was built by Holden between 2013 and 2017. It was the restyled iteration of the fourth (and last) generation of the Holden Commodore to be produced in Australia. Its series included the sedan and station wagon models that marketed under the luxury Holden Calais nameplate. 

From 2013 till 2017 an upgraded variant of the Commodore SS V sedan was exported to the U.S. and badged as the Chevrolet SS; an evolution of the badging method utilized on the previous-generation Commodore that was marketed in the United States and Canada as the Pontiac G8 from 2008 till 2009, before the Pontiac brand being abandoned. 

In 2013, GM declared that it would cease all Australian making in 2017.

The last Chevrolet SS from 2017 was available in one trim level (base). It was powered by a 6.2-liter V8 engine (415 horsepower, 415 pound-feet of torque) and paired with either a six-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission in rear-wheel-drive only.
