The release of the VX Commodore in 2000 marked the 11th update to the Holden Commodore. The VX was in production for just under 2 years (23 months) from October 2000. Replaced by the VY in September 2002. The series 2 VX hit the market in August 2001.
The VX featured a minor facelift of the VT, manufactured with the purpose of working out the kinks in the extremely popular VT. The VX featured a number of cosmetic changes such as a revised headlight and tail light design as well as the removal of the back panel in between the tail lights. A number of tweaks made to the ride and handling of the VX made it smoother and to make it stick to the road a little better.

Despite these minor tweaks to the design and the ride, they were well received by the market. 250 000 VX Commodores rolled off the production line. When you consider the fact that there were only 30 000 more VT’s built than VX’s while the VT spent 38 months in production, compared to the VX’s 23 months, the VX sold very well.
For the VX, a utility based on its design, called the VU. With the VU, the VX was now available as a sedan, wagon and a 2 door Ute. All cars still produced in Elizabeth South Australia.
The same engines and transmissions carried over from the VT. The size and dimensions of the VX were also very similar to the VT.
After 23 months on the market, the VX would be replaced by the VY in September 2002.
