There is a new Cruze in town that is mighty & mean

New Delhi, 24 October 2013: The Chevrolet Cruze has always been a car I admire for the sheer value that it offers and it’s phenomenal road presence. It is mighty and mean, and GM India has now launched the new Cruze with refreshed exterior styling, new comfort features and added safety. The Cruze, has had a good run so far in the premium executive sedan segment with the most powerful diesel engine under its hood and in a way, this has been a comeback vehicle for GM in the aftermath of it’s global crisis a few years back.

Since it’s launch in 2009, the Cruze continues to be the largest-selling Chevrolet nameplate globally. The all new Cruze will perhaps continue to consolidate on that position.

Stylish New Exteriors
A new dual-port front grille with gold bowtie, newly designed front and rear bumpers, new dual bezel design headlamps, new alloy wheels and new fog lamps with chrome surround across all trim levels are the highlights. The refreshed styling adds to its already bold dynamic form, stance and taut crease lines. The jewel-effect headlamps add striking character to the sporty front end. Muscular sides, chrome applique on the trunk lid and mesmerizing twin-port jewel effect tail lights highlight the overall design enchantment.

A Perfect Blend of Comfort and Entertainment
A six-way power adjustable driver’s seat, bluetooth music streaming, pinch guard protection, ice-blue ambient lighting, jet black leather interiors, an advanced integrated centre stack with graphic infotainment display, radio and HVAC controls add to the premium feel of the car.

A sleek, no-wire experience for the car audio enthusiast is standard. Push button start, cruise control, rain-sensing wipers and an auto-dimming inside rear view mirror make the Chevrolet Cruze a dream to drive. Steering wheel-mounted cruise control automatically controls the speed for a pleasurable highway drive. The three-gauge instrument cluster has sophisticated ice-blue dash illumination and a centre-positioned information display.

Safe, Sturdy and Mighty
The Cruze has dual front airbags and two side airbags and the strong and rigid “safety cage” has reinforced pillars with tubular bars, which provide optimum protection to passengers. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) ensures better steering control. Passive Entry Passive Start (PEPS) automatically controls the central locking system, anti-theft alarm and ignition. With a child seat provision specifically designed in the rear seating area, the new Cruze offers protection for children at all times.

Turbo Charged with Excellent Ride and Handling
The 2.0-litre VCDi engine under the hood of the Chevrolet Cruze delivers 166 PS of unadulterated power on tap, making it the most powerful diesel car in its class. Added to that, the 380 Nm of torque makes the experience simply exhilarating. The advanced engine management system, coupled with the high-performance variable geometry turbo-charged common rail direct injection (CRDI) system ensures breath-taking performance. The Chevrolet Cruze comes with both a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic transmission. A widespread gear ratio ensures quicker getaways and a sixth gear for increased fuel economy at cruising speeds. Overall, the new Cruze delivers advanced road handling and improved aerodynamic performance.
