2011 Chevrolet Cruze

General Motors unveiled the all new Chevrolet Cruze diesel model in the capital with an aggressive introductory price ranging from INR 1099000 to INR 1245000 (ex showroom, Delhi).

This is the second offering in the D or the executive, segment from GM India. Its first car model in this segment was the Chevrolet Optra Magnum.

The new car is cheaper than its competitor Honda Civic, the Skoda Laura diesel and the Volkswagen Jetta diesel. However it is priced in the same bracket as the Toyota Altis which is also available for INR 1100000 but is a petrol driven car.

Mr Karl Slym president & MD of GM India said that “Three months ago the new General Motors company was born. Cruze is the first offering from the new company. The new car has been built on a brand new global platform called the 300 series.”

According to him, the third small car scheduled for launch next year is also modeled on the mini 300 series platform. The 2 litre diesel engine-fired Chevrolet Cruze is the biggest car in the executive passenger vehicle segment in terms of dimensions and is available in two variants: LT and LTZ.
