"The Cruze has received an overwhelming response from consumers across India since its launch in 2009 and continues to be the largest-selling Chevrolet nameplate globally," said Lowell Paddock, President and Managing Director, General Motors India.

"With new stylish exteriors, modern comfort features and added safety we expect the all new Cruze to continue exceeding expectations of car buyers and keep up the excitement in the festive season," he said.

The new Cruze comes with 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, the company said in a statement.

The new model offers features like a six-way power adjustable driver's seat, dead pedal, premium speakers, power-operated windows with the express-up and down feature on the driver's window, Bluetooth music streaming and pinch guard protection.

It also offers an advanced integrated centre stack with graphic infotainment display, radio and HVAC controls to add to the premium feel of the car.

A thicker, ergonomic rim design helps maneuver with more ease with the three-spoke steering wheel.

Equipped with dual front airbags and two side airbags, the new Cruze claims to enhance safety in case of a high-impact collision.

The strong and rigid 'safety cage' has reinforced pillars with tubular bars, which provide optimum protection to passengers.

The front and rear crumple zone maximizes safety by absorbing the impact energy in a collision.

The anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic sensors provides braking efficiency and shorter stopping distances, which ensures better steering control, especially on slippery surfaces.

Passive Entry Passive Start (PEPS) automatically controls the central locking system, anti-theft alarm and ignition, the statement said.

The pedestrian protection design of the hood and related hinge structures reduce the chance of pedestrian injury.

With a child seat provision specifically designed in the rear seating area, the new Cruze offers protection for children at all times.

The 2.0-litre VCDi engine under the hood of the Chevrolet Cruze delivers 166 PS of unadulterated power on tap and added to that, 380 Nm of torque is also available.

The Chevrolet Cruze comes with both a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic transmission mated to the all-new 2.0-litre VCDi engine.

The electronic automatic transmission control system offers clutch-to-clutch shift operation for precision gear shifting.

A widespread gear ratio ensures quicker getaways and a sixth gear for increased fuel economy at cruising speeds.

With its specially engineered wider track, stiff body structure, quick-acting steering and braking system, the Cruze delivers advanced road handling, improved aerodynamic performance and greater sensitivity to set-up changes.

A gas-charged McPherson strut type front suspension, U-shaped rear suspension with torsion beams and gas-charged shock absorber ensure a smooth and comfortable ride, the company said.

The new Chevrolet Cruze LT (MT) is priced at Rs. 13,75,580, while the Chevrolet Cruze LTZ (MT) will be available at Rs. 15,25,573 and the third model, Chevrolet Cruze LTZ (AT) is priced at Rs.16,15,933.
