The all-new Holden Statesman and Caprice flagship cars today made their international debut in Melbourne in a historic double reveal.

The WM series Statesman and Caprice were unveiled alongside Holden’s VE Commodore to highlight the design and development breadth of Australia's first $1 billion car program.

The surprise showing came before the official launch of WM Statesman and Caprice in September.

Statesman and Caprice boast the highest ever level of unique design applied by Holden, with virtually every panel and interior feature different from Commodore.


Holden invested another $190 million to develop the new generation Statesman and Caprice on top of the $1.03 billion VE program, underlining its importance to General Motors.

WM will extend a long-standing role with senior Federal and State politicians, government officials, businesspeople and private buyers in Australia and overseas.

The current Holden long-wheelbase cars have been the best-selling locally built prestige vehicles each year since 2000.
