Cruze all set to receive a mid-cycle update.
Chevrolet will reveal
a station-wagon based on the Cruze at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.
The wagon may not make
it to our shores, but the styling updates seen in the picture will surely
filter down to the Cruze saloon in the form of a mid-cycle facelift.
As seen in the video
grabs, the Cruze gets a refreshed nose. There’s the wider chin, vertically
aligned fog lamps clusters, and a grille gets a slight update – a new ‘razor
wire’ like design replaces the earlier honeycomb styling. While the headlamp’s
shape remains the same, it now features clear-lens treatment and silver-reflector
material replaces the black plastic. This surely gives the Cruze a more
up-market look. New alloy-wheel designs will be included to complete the
exterior styling upgrades.
The interior will
receive re-designed rear seats which will help improve rear-headroom. There
will also be a slightly redesigned centre console and a central touch-screen
that doubles up as a screen for reversing camera. The engine, a 2.0-litre VCDi
diesel motor, could get a power bump up to 163bhp. Globally, there are talks of
a smaller 130bhp 1.7-litre VCDi engine – however, whether this makes it to our
market is yet to be seen. The Cruze facelift and wagon will be officially
unveiled on March 6. Stay tuned for more details.
