Information About

Holden Cruze




  Aka Chevrolet Cruze
  Production 2001-2006 (Japan)<br />2002-2006 (Australia)


The Holden Cruze, also called the ''' Chevrolet Cruze''' is a compact SUV , and is based on a Four Wheel Drive version of the Suzuki Ignis . Introduced to Australia in 2002, the engine for the Cruze was a 1.5 litre 75 kW DOHC , up from the 1.3 litre 60 kW DOHC in the original Suzuki Ignis.

This Cruze was available in both automatic and manual transmissions. The main rivals in the Australian market were the Suzuki Jimny and Daihatsu Terios . The Holden Cruze is a SUV designed primarily for on-road use.

The Cruze was discontinued after the aging 1.5 litre engine did not meet Euro III emission standards and would have been too costly to replace.
