Holden VY Commodore Acclaim (2003)

Holden VY Commodore Acclaim

The VY Holden Commodore was produced between September 2002 and August 2004. In August 2003 a Series II of the VY series was released.

The VY Holden Commodore is much more refined than the previous model in many aspects including the body structure, powertrain and chassis dynamics delivering appreciable improvements in performance, ride, handling, safety and build quality.

The VY Commodore was available in several models. These are the Executive, Acclaim, Berlina, Calais, S, SV8, and the SS. All the models in the VY range were sedans, but the Executive, Accliaim and Berlina models were also available in wagon form. Also the similar VZ Holden Calais was available, but only as a sedan.

The front and rear of the body has been completely restyled, with new front grille and headlights, and taillights. As with the exterior the interior has been also been heavily upgraded. Interior upgrade includes a new instrument panel, centre console and steering wheel, and new design transmission shifter and handbrake. There is also a new mobile phone power outlet under the centre console. The new instrument cluster features a large multi-function digital display (single or triple-window, depending on model), which displays information such as radio station display, PRNDL gear selected indicator, trip computer with stopwatch function, service reminders and a help facility.

Standard features now include "twilight sentinel" (on some models) automatic headlamp control, headlamps off programmable time delay, high feature Blaupunkt audio systems, road-speed sensitive intermittent wipers and passenger airbags.
