Posted on by

Much has been reported about the new generation Chevrolet Cruze 2016 and its release in India. General Motors has finally shed some light on the new Chevrolet Cruze 2016 and its India launch. Recently in a statement, General Motors India has revealed that the company has got plans to release 5 new cars in India within the next 2 years. Along with this, the company has also stated that the next generation 2016 Chevrolet Cruze premium sedan model will be released in India by early 2018. The 2016 Chevrolet Cruze is already on sale in some of the global car markets and is totally redesigned as compared to the present generation model that is currently being sold in India. Chevrolet India recently released the face lifted model of the Chevrolet Cruze with improved features and redesigned exteriors.

 The new Chevrolet Cruze 2016 will come with swept back head lights, a steep raking wind screen, a gently sloping roofline at the rear portion and an overall sleek appearance. The 2016 Chevrolet Cruze is built on an all new platform which has enabled the car to lose 113 kg of overall weight making it lighter, which will in turn help the car to offer better performance and fuel efficiency. Dimensionally, the next gen Cruze comes with a longer wheel base and overall length. This has made the cabin quite spacious with extra leg space. Externally, the car is entirely redesigned and made more aerodynamic, as compared to the outgoing version.

As far as features are concerned, the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze has been given high class touch screen infotainment system along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The safety features include ABS with EBD, 6 airbags, ESP system, multi level traction control system and parking sensors with rear camera. In international car markets the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze is driven by a 1.4 litre turbocharged petrol engine that generates 153bhp and 240Nm of max torque. In India, this car will be driven by a 2.0 litre turbo diesel engine that is capable of producing 164bhp and 360Nm of max torque while the transmission options will include a 6 speed manual as well as automatic gearbox.

Since the launch of the new Chevrolet Cruze in India is quite far away, it is very tough to comment on its price. However, we can safely expect the car to come with a price above INR 15 lakh (ex-showroom).
