A Holden Commodore by another name, the Toyota Lexcen was part of the government at the time’s proposal to reduce the number of models built locally, hence the tie up between the two brands.
Based on the VN Commodore produced from 1988 to 1991, the Lexcen was essentially a badge-swapped Holden, meaning near identical styling and underpinnings.
However, the Lexcen was offered exclusively with a V6 powerplant and missed out on Holden’s beefy V8, but was available in both sedan and wagon bodystyles.
The line-up currently starts at $2,860 for the Lexcen CSi and ranges through to $4,840 for the range-topping Lexcen CSi.
