These models were the fifth and sixth generations of the iconic Commodore nameplate, building upon the success of their predecessors while introducing new features and advancements. The VR series, launched in 1993, debuted a sleeker, more aerodynamic design with a revised front end, integrated bumpers, and flush-mounted headlights. It was also the first Commodore to offer the optional 3.8L V6 engine, which delivered improved performance and fuel efficiency compared to the previous 3.8L V6. The VS series, introduced in 1995, further refined the design with subtle styling tweaks and a more spacious interior. The VR and VS Commodores were available in a wide range of body styles, including the popular sedan, wagon, and ute variants. They were also offered with a choice of engines, ranging from the 3.8L V6 to the powerful 5.0L V8. Features like the sophisticated independent rear suspension system, power steering, and air conditioning were standard across the range. The VR and VS Commodores established a strong reputation for their durability, reliability, and driving performance, solidifying their position as a popular choice for families and enthusiasts alike. They also introduced innovative safety features such as driver's airbags and anti-lock brakes, further enhancing their appeal.
