 Commodore iD wagon with LPG - individual style and
economy |
Wagon buyers seeking a combination of
practicality, economy and individual good looks can now specify Holden’s Commodore iD
Series wagon with a ‘dual fuel’ LPG option.
 iD Series enhancements and Holden LPG are factory-fitted by Holden By Design
(HBD). Fully covered by Holden’s 3 year/100,000 kilometre warranty, they are
specifically styled and engineered to integrate with Commodore’s design, electrical,
mechanical, engine management and security systems.
The eye-catching iD enhancement kit tailored for the Commodore wagon includes a lower body
package featuring moulded side skirts, front spoiler and rear bumper extension. Exclusive
16 x 7.5-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels and unique iD badging complete the picture. It is
also possible to choose other combinations or single items.
Each Commodore wagon fitted with one or a number of iD Series options carries a Holden By
Design build plate to ensure authenticity and protect the owner’s investment.
Further HBD options available for fitment to Commodore wagon include a cargo barrier,
self-levelling rear suspension, a tilt/vent sliding one-touch electric sunroof, premium
sound system with six-stack CD player, leather-bound steering wheel, power antenna, Power
Key-controlled audible alarm system, cruise control (available with automatic transmission
only) and country roo bar.
Commodore wagon with LPG
Introduced as a factory-fitted option on Commodore wagon in August 1998, the ‘dual
fuel’ Holden LPG system can reduce fuel bills by up to 42 per cent. It is available
on Commodore wagons with an ECOTEC V6 engine/automatic transmission combination.
With its dual fuel capacity, the system features instant switch-over to petrol operation
and offers the bonus of long range driving capability. The 60-litre LPG tank is located in
the wagon’s spare wheel well for added safety; the spare is re-positioned in the
cargo area.
Holden engineers utilised advanced LPG technology to design a system that allows easier
starting, hot or cold. Engine management systems are re-calibrated to deliver a level of
performance that is difficult to differentiate from the petrol-fuelled variety. Rear
suspension is upgraded to maintain ground clearance and Commodore’s high-standard
ride and handling characteristics. The fuel gauge automatically shows the level of petrol
or LPG, whichever is being used, and the trip computer calculates ‘distance to
empty’ for both fuels. An LPG filler is located behind the standard Commodore fuel
filler door. Inside, the integrated fuel selection switch is conveniently located on
Commodore’s centre console.
