Holden Rules Out Diesel For Commodore, Paddle Shifters May Come

Holden has ruled out the possibility of a diesel engine for its new VF Commodore, pointing to a lack of options and an already efficient petrol range.

Speaking with TMR this week, VF program engineering manager Andrew Holmes said that after lengthy consideration, a suitable diesel option has not been found. 

“For the last five years on and off, we’ve been looking at putting a diesel into the Commodore,” Mr Holmes said.

“But we haven’t yet found one in the GM stable that gives us what we would consider a good fit for this car.”
