Chevrolet Cruze Coming in Mid 2009

Chevrolet Cruze
Expected in Mid 2009
Estimated price: Rs 11.5-13 lakhs
Chevrolet is launching its midsize sedan, the Cruze, across the globe in 2009 replacing the Chevrolet Optra and Daewoo Lacetti, but the Cruze will slot in above the Optra in GM India’s lineup. According to GM, the Cruze "was developed by a global design and engineering team and will be built in multiple locations around the world".

The Cruze is noticeably tight-skinned and a very restrained use of exterior trim adds on to its high-quality appearance. Its steeply raked windshield gives this compact sedan a look like a coupe’s.

"Our goal in designing the Cruze was to be bold, not evolutionary," says chief designer Taewan Kim. "We wanted to take a big step forward, making a strong design statement for Chevrolet products.”
