Car reviews - Holden - Commodore - Acclaim sedan

Overview

VZ Acclaim offers safety first with a full-house stability control system

19 Aug 2004

HOLDEN’S family-oriented Commodore Acclaim has always offered a high level of standard safety and equipment, and the latest version takes the concept to unprecedented new levels. Along with an all-new 3.6-litre DOHC alloy V6, VZ Commodore is the first Australian-built passenger car (discounting Ford’s Territory SUV) to offer a sophisticated stability control system like that found in many European models. But Acclaim is the least expensive Commodore variant to feature it as standard. Bringing a host of associated benefits with it, such as the latest anti-lock braking system and electronic brake assist, the clever Bosch ESP system is not available on the more expensive Berlina variant, which rises in price more than Acclaim. Strangely, however, nor is ESP available on the more expensive and even more family-friendly Acclaim wagon.
Model release date: 1 August 2004 to 1 August 2006

Previous model

Holden VY Commodore Acclaim

Released: October 2002
Ended: August 2004
Family Tree: Commodore

NOW well established as the family car of the Commodore range, Acclaim is one step above the fleet-oriented, entry-level Executive. The direct predecessor to the latest VZ version is the VYII Acclaim, launched in August 2003 and offering only cosmetic updates to the more convincingly different looking VY Acclaim released in October 2002 (pictured). Before that, VXII Acclaim (launched August 2001) featured a new grille, with the VX Acclaim of October 2000 delivering the last change to Holden’s 3.8-litre pushrod Ecotec V6, which upped its power and torque from 147kW/304Nm to 152kW/305Nm. All these Acclaim variants are derivatives of the original VT Commodore model launched in September 1997.
