D segmenter Chevy Cruze comes with a 2.0 litre oilburner in India. However, UK car market also has a hatchback version of the popular sedan and GM recently announced a new 1.7 litre diesel motor for this car. This motor will also find a home in the station wagon that is on sale abroad.
The new engine pumps of a healthy output of 130PS-300Nm. The car is being said to be capable of doing the 0-96 kmph in 9.4 seconds with a top whack of about 200 kmph.
The icing on the cake here is that the motor will offer a mileage of around 22.18 kmpl! We don’t remember the last time we heard of a car of this size offering such a nice fuel consumption figure.
This definitely is an opportunity for the blokes at Chevy to bring this motor to our shores with the introduction of the facelifted car.
New 2.2L 175bhp motor for me please ;D…only with a smoother and well distributed power delivery through the rev range.
The tech. Inspite of freedom and flare in India to get good and new is being denied to India for unknown reasons ?
They really make good diesels… Honda should buy em n out it in their cars..
Much much much beter than what I had expected…
Thanks for the news.
Front on looks like a Made-in-China Model…from the side looks like the Endeavour. Need to see some more pics all round.
