Chevrolet Cruze hatchback pricing announced (UK)

Chevrolet has announced prices and specifications on the new 5dr Cruze hatchback, which goes on sale next month.

The Cruze hatchback starts from £13,995 for the base 122bhp (120PS/91kW) 1.6 litre LS petrol, before topping out at £20,295 for the flagship LTZ Exec Pack 2.0 VCDi 161bhp (159PS/120kW) automatic. Sitting in-between those will be the mid-spec LT at £14,895 and the 1.8 litre 139bhp (137PS/104kW) petrol engine, only available on the LTZ.

Chevrolet Managing Director, Mark Terry, said: “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.”

With three trims on offer, the entry-level LS is far from entry-level with standard equipment like 16” steel wheels, air-conditioning, remote central locking, electric font windows, electrically adjustable/heated door mirrors, and CD player w/AUX-input.

Mid-range LT comes with 16” alloy wheels, cruise control, leather steering wheel w/audio control, leather gearknob, trip-computer, rear electric windows, front fog lamps, and rear parking sensors.

Top-of-the-line LTZ is lavished with 17” alloy wheels, Bluetooth w/USB port, rain and dusk sensor, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, and aluminium-effect interior accents. An Exclusive Package is offered on the diesel LTZ and features heated leather seats and satellite navigation system.
