Chevrolet Announces Full UK Pricing for 2011 Cruze Hatchback

The new Chevrolet hatchback is scheduled to arrive at dealerships across the UK next month, with the range starting off at only £13,995 for the base model equipped with a 1.6-liter engine and manual gearbox. The arrival of a new five-door is a significant event, as since 1988 the compact hatchback has been Chevrolet’s best-seller in the UK, especially in the fleet market segment.

“The hatchback version of the Cruze is a massively important new car for us, as it not only appeals on a retail level, but also massively increases Chevrolet’s appeal to the fleet market – alongside the Orlando and the New Captiva, and with a new Aveo just round the corner, we have a truly holistic model range that will appeal to fleet managers, user-choosers and retail customers alike,” said Chevrolet Managing Director, Mark Terry.

As you might expect, the entry-level LS model, equipped with a 1.6 litre engine developing 124PS. Standard equipment includes air conditioning, remote locking, electric-front windows, follow-me-home headlights, electrically-adjustable heated door mirrors and a quality radio/CD player with auxiliary input are all included in the price.

Pay £900, and Chevrolet will provide the LT model that brings extra premium features, such as cruise control, electric windows all round, a multi-function trip computer, parking distance sensors, 16-inch alloy wheels, front fog lamps, steering wheel audio controls and a leather steering wheel and gearknob.

Cruze buyers who opt for the LTZ trim level can specify a 141PS 1.8-litre petrol engine with five-speed manual for £16,095 or auto transmission for £17,095, or the 163PS 2.0 VCDi with a choice of either six-speed manual for £17,795 or six-speed auto gearboxes for £18,795.

LTZ trim offers exceptional  levels of standard kit, including Bluetooth, a USB port, rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlights, an electro-chromatic rear view mirror, 17-inch alloys and aluminium-effect trim on the instrument panel.

The range-topping LTZ with Executive Pack, which gets leather trim as standard, along with satellite navigation and heated front seats. Available only as a diesel, prices start at £19,295.
