The Holden VY Commodore is the twelfth model of the Holden Commodore range produced by Holden between September 2002 and August 2004. The Holden Commodore is an Automobile manufactured by the Holden division of General Motors (GM in Australia and formerly in New Zealand GM Holden Ltd is an Australian automaker based in Port Melbourne Victoria. The VY Commodore was the successor to the Holden VX Commodore and in August 2003 a Series II of the VY series was released. The Holden VX Commodore is the eleventh instalment of the Holden Commodore, a Full-size car produced by Holden, the Australian subsidiary But in August 2004 the VY series made way for the updated Holden VZ Commodore range. For a complete overview of all Commodore models see Holden Commodore.

The VY Commodore is much more refined than the previous model in many aspects including the body structure, powertrain and chassis dynamics delivering appreciable improvements in performance, ride, handling, safety and build quality.

The VY Commodore was available in several models. These are the Executive, Acclaim, Berlina, Calais, S, SV8, and the SS. All the models in the VY range were sedans, but the Executive, Acclaim and Berlina models were also available in wagon form. Unusually, the VY also introduced a limited edition SS wagon featuring the same 235 kW (245 kW for Series II) V8, bodykit and sports suspension as the SS sedan. However, it was equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels as opposed to the 18 inch wheels on the sedan. 500 such wagons were produced for Series I and 350 for Series II. [1]

Sales of the VY Commodore failed to match those of the earlier VT model.
