It will be powered by an upgraded version of the current 3.6-litre petrol V6 producing 230kW/370nM through a nine-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels via the “Twinster” torque vectoring all-wheel drive system.

In addition to the V6 variant, the 2018 Commodore will come with 2.0-litre turbo petrol and 2.0-litre turbo diesel front-wheel drive models.
