Chevrolet Cruze petrol variant might not hit the Indian shores

Few months earlier, Volkswagen India took Indian car market by a surprise by launching its brand new Volkswagen Passat powered with diesel engine. When enquired about the petrol engine model of Volkswagen Passat, Volkswagen India chose to be mum on it. And now rumor has it, that General Motors India is not in a mood to launch Chverolet Cruze petrol variant in India at all. The decision of not launching the petrol variant of Chevrolet Cruze might be because the diesel variant of this car is doing pretty well in the country. Also, there is no point of launching the petrol version, as petrol prices are touching the sky.

However, this General Motors India still needs to give an official statement on this.
