The exteriors of the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze will boast a wider chin, revised air-duct, new alloy wheels, new clear lens in the headlights, newly designed fog lamp cluster and slightly revised clusters of the tail lights. The interiors have also been rendered some major changes such as new audio unit with better and brighter background, new color of the instrument console and some other minor changes. General Motors India has changed the engine specifications to a large extent as a previous 1991cc 148-BHP VM Motori engine will be replaced by a 1998cc motor that is capable of pumping out a power of 161 BHP.
The upgrade in the engine would cause the acceleration times to improve to a great extent; similarly the fuel economy is also expected to go up. Both the six-speed manual and six-speed automatic transmissions are supposed to find their way in, With a slight upgrade in all areas of the car a slight hike in the prices is inevitable and thus the approximations hint an increase of 2.5 to 4 percent in the prices. The base price of new Chevrolet Cruze could therefore rise up to Rs. 13.5 lakh from Rs. 13.15 lakh and the price of top-end automatic variant could go up from current Rs. 15.7 lakh to Rs. 16 lakh.
