Holden Commodore

VL Commodore Calais

1 Mar 1986

The fourth and final VB facelift is an enduring favourite.

A sleek new nose, kicked-up boot lid and heavily revised cabin were the main points.

The Calais differed from its lesser siblings with its pop-up headlight covers.

But the big news was the new imported Nissan 114kW 3.0-litre OHC in-line six-cylinder (I6) engine with a five-speed manual or optional electronic four-speed auto, to meet unleaded petrol introduction, killing off the venerable Holden OHV sixes.

However public demand ensured that the 18-year-old local V8 lived on.

Improved front seats arrived in October 1987.

New standard features: Improved audioEngine options: (From Aug 1986) 150kW turbocharged 3.0, with 15” wheels, four-wheel discs (From Oct 1986) 122kW 5.0 V8 coupled to three-speed auto Special edition:· Mar 88 – Calais Wagon: Added an alarm to the regular Calais features. The only official Calais wagon Holden has ever made.
