UK Commodore Equivilents

Didn't know if you guys would be interested in this, but these are the UK equivalents of the Commodore over the years. Although we may not have the Holden badge here, we've had Bedford and Vauxhall for many many years, but the differences are quite interesting I think as they're not exactly the same. Main difference being that majority of the UK cars are FWD, and a much smaller engine than in the Holden equivalent.


VB = Rekord E

VC = Cavalier II

VH = Viceroy / Senator A (pre facelift)

VK = Senator A (post facelift)

VL = no equivalent

VN = Vectra A

VP = Vectra A

VR = Carlton / Vectra B / Omega B (pre facelift)

VS = Vectra B / Omega B (pre facelift)

VT = Omega B (post facelift)

VX = Omega B (post facelift)

VY = Omega B (post facelift) / Vectra C

VZ = Vectra C / Signum




Thought it may be something interesting for y'all.

Gotta love how there's no equivalent to VLs Hahaha thats heaps interesting! Don't they look a little different over there with lights, front ends etc?

Some do look different, some pretty much look the same. But a big European thing is to have fwd cars so they're weird seeing them look like a commodore but be fwd for some models like the Vectra (VN onwards)

There's a few around.

This one is on eBay at the moment
