2011 New Cruze

Appealing to both the budget conscious and environmental minded buyers, the Chevrolet Cruze offers a slew of features and technological advancements that will help attract potential buyers to the vehicle. While the upcoming Chevrolet Volt is expected to fill more a niche market, the Cruze is expected to sell like wildfire, offering hybrid-like numbers to the non-hybrid car market.

The Cruze replaces the Chevy Optra, but has a different sort of upbringing. While the Optra was a Daewoo designed model, its successor is billed as a Global Car, with GM’s various outposts (GMDAT Korea and Opel) sharing development duties. Testing was spread across continents, with Korea being just one of the few global production hubs for the Cruze alongside China and the US. Naza subsidiary Pavilion Crest gets its supply from Korea, and the single spec Cruze 1.8 retails at RM98,767.60 OTR without insurance.
