===Overseas markets and rebadges===

;Australia and New Zealand

The Vectra C was branded as the [[Holden Vectra]] in [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]]. Between 1998 and 2001, Holden in Australia assembled the Vectra for export to other [[Left- and right-hand traffic|RHD]] markets in the region, with a view to exporting 60 per cent of output, although this was adversely affected by the Asian economic crisis.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=47OZAAAAIAAJ&q=vectra ''Business Review Weekly'': BRW, Volume 20, Issues 1-6], page 19</ref>

Locally designated the ''ZC'' series and launched in March 2003, the Vectra C was only available as a sedan and hatchback. Holden did not offer the Vectra C estate due to the presence of the Astra and later Holden Viva (Daewoo Lacetti) estates. The Vectra was dropped and replaced by the Holden Epica, a badge engineered [[Daewoo Tosca]] early in 2007.<ref>{{cite magazine | last = Newton | first = Bruce |date=June 2007 | title = Sneer Miss |magazine=[[Wheels (magazine)|Wheels]] | pages = 104–108}}</ref>

Due to stockpiling of Vectras from 2005 for the market in Australasia, there was enough supply of the car for deliveries to last through to 2007. As a result, facelifted Vectra Cs were not sold in those markets.<ref>{{cite web | last = Yan | first = Jack | date = 26 May 2007 | url = http://www.jackyan.com/blog/2007/05/holden-epica-arrives-in-new-zealand-god.html | title = Holden Epica arrives in New Zealand (God help us) | publisher = Jack Yan & Associates | access-date = 29 April 2008}}</ref> In 2008, the Vectra OPC was available with either six speed manual or six speed automatic transmission (Previous Vectra OPC had manual gearbox only). The 2.8L DOHC V6 turbo engine could generate {{Convert|206|kW|hp|0|abbr=on}}.

;United Kingdom

Sales of the Vectra C in the United Kingdom were not as strong as those of its predecessors. For much of its production life, the original Vectra was the fourth best selling car in the country, but the Vectra C never came higher than tenth in the country's car sales charts, though within its own market sector it held on to second place, behind the [[Ford Mondeo]].

In 2007, it finally made the Top 10 of Britain's car sales charts, being the nation's tenth most popular new car with over 50,000 sales, outselling the Ford Mondeo for the first time since 1999.<ref>{{cite web | last = Finlay | first = David | date = 8 January 2008 | url = http://www.carkeys.co.uk/features/industry/2008/14456.asp | title = UK Motor Industry 2007 | publisher = PDRonline | access-date = 10 January 2008 | url-status = dead | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20080116132719/http://www.carkeys.co.uk/features/industry/2008/14456.asp | archive-date = 16 January 2008 | df = dmy-all }}</ref> Also, in January 2007, the estate variant was awarded ''Estate Car of the Year 2007'', by ''[[What Car?]]'' magazine.<ref>{{cite magazine | date = 19 January 2007 | url = http://www.whatcar.co.uk/news-special-report.aspx?NA=223730&EL=3187889 | title = Car of the Year 2007 – Estate car | magazine = [[What Car?]] | access-date = 10 January 2008}}</ref>

;South America

While the Vectra C was sold in [[Mexico]] and [[Chile]] as the Chevrolet Vectra, it was not marketed in Brazil, where Chevrolet opted to sell the [[Opel Astra|Astra H]] under the Vectra brand from 2006 to 2011. Both local spec cars were powered by the [[Family II engine#GM do Brazil|FlexPower SOHC engine]] originally introduced in 1982 in the [[Opel Ascona#Chevrolet Monza|Chevrolet Monza]].

;Ireland

In [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]], the Vectra C was produced until February 2010.
