Holden Cruze Gets SRi and SRi-V Versions

The new lineup of Holden Cruze models is being expanded starting this week with the addition of two new versions of the model, the SRi and SRi-V. Both models have been created on the model that uses the 1.4l intelligent turbo induction (iTi) petrol engine.

The two new additions come with the promise of high-torque performance and sportier lines than you regularly get from the production version Cruze. The entry-level model of the SRi range is the model that lacks the V in the name.

The engines on both of the models are paired to a six-speed manual or optional six-speed Active Select automatic transmission, with the latter combination allowing for fuel consumption figures of 6.7l/100 km (the figure for the manual is 6.4l/100 km).

Both SRis come equipped with five-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels, sports rockers and chrome-insert door handles. At the back, the distinction is made by the aero decklid spoiler, sports black diffuser and concealed exhaust. The full list of features on the new Cruze models is presented below:

  • 1.4L iTi DOHC turbo petrol engine
