TheHolden Premier is an automobile that was produced byHolden forAustralasia between 1962 and 1980. The Premier was anupmarket version of the:

• Holden Standard/Special: between 1962 and 1968.
• Holden Belmont/Kingswood: between 1968 and 1980. These 1968 onwards Premiers are distinguished from the Belmont and Kingswood by having a quad-headlight grille treatment.

The usual Premier fittings^[1] are standard bucket seats, extra exterior trim, carpeted floor mats, armrests^[2], a centre console, automatic transmission, the aforementioned quad-headlights beginning in 1968 and more, or less depending on the series.

With theHD &HR models, an 'X2' option was available, with more detailed instrumentation, alongside a higher output engine. This specification was also available on theSpecial.

Along with theHQ Premier in 1971, Holden introduced an 'LS' variant of theMonarocoupe, specced almost identically to the Premier range.

Beginning in 1975, the Premier was exported to Japan as aMazda, where it was fitted with a13B rotary engine and badged as aMazda Roadpacer. Roadpacer production ceased in 1977 due to a lack of sales.

The Premier was cancelled in 1980 as Holden rationalised its large range with the introduction of its smallerCommodore model.
