LIKE all Commodores, SV8 offers seating for five adults, each with a lap/sash seatbelt and plenty of legroom.

Front passengers benefit from height and angle-adjustable head restraints, while only outboard rear passengers get (fixed) head restraints.

The SV8 misses out on the twin side airbags now standard in SS, making do with twin front airbags.

There are a pair of cupholders front and rear, storage bins in the front doors, armrests for all outboard passengers and both upper and lower air-conditioning vents for all passengers.
