MZANSI SET TO CRUZE IN OCTOBER, PRICES INCLUDED



Chevrolet is getting ready to launch the Cruze world car on the Mzansi market. The car will arrive during October this year and should compete with rivals like the Honda Civic sedan, Mazda3 sedan, Ford Focus sedan and Mitsubishi Lancer.


Four models will be sold, two 1.6-litres (83kW) and two 1.8-litres (104kW) which include an automatic.


“Chevrolet’s outstanding value does not mean a compromise in features,” says Des Fenner, GMSA Product Communications Manager, “and the Chevrolet Cruze offers much higher specification levels than expected in this segment.”


Fenner reckons there is great value to be had from the Cruze in terms of quality, performance and price.


Chevrolet Cruze pricing:


1.6 L (R174 192)
1.6 Ls (R186 126)
1.8 Ls (R204 133)
1.8 Lt auto (R244 440)
