Holden has announced it will discontinue the production of the Commodore just two years after closing its Adelaide factory to import rebadged European cars.

Holden said an increased demand for SUV models led to the discontinuation of the popular vehicle.

Commodore sales attracted more than 90,000 buyers at its peak, but sales recently slid to below 10,000. Demand for the once-popular vehicle has continued to plummet by 35 per cent in 2019. Image: Getty
