The Holden VX Commodore which was released in October 2000 and ceased production in September 2002 introduced further mechanical upgrades with the V6 receiving changes to the engine management computer to bring power up to 152 kW, while VX Series II added toe-control links to the semi-trailing arm rear suspension to better maintain the toe settings during suspension movements and hence result in better handling.

The VX Commodore was available in several models. These are the Executive, Acclaim, Berlina, Calais, S, and the SS. All the models in the VX range were sedans, but the Executive, Acclaim and Berlina models were also available in wagon form.


The front suspension has been modified slightly, with lower control arm pivot points raised by 4 mm and a ball joint has replaced a rubber bushing on the stabiliser to strut link. Visually the VX was changed slightly, the interior remained much the same, the exterior gained slightly different headlights and the rear lighting was changed.


ABS brakes (Bosch 5.3) are now standard on all models, as is a CD player and steering wheel audio system controls. Traction control is now available with the manual transmission.


Engines available were the 3.8 litre V6 and the 5.7 litre GenIII V8 as found in the SS.
