THIS may be the Year of the Dragon in China – but for Chevrolet, 2012 is very much the Year of the Wagon. It’s all down to the arrival of an all-new version of the Cruze station wagon making its debut at next month’s Geneva Motor Show. The boys at Chevy have blown up the load space to almost 1,500 litres with the latest body style of its most popular model, which joins saloon and hatchback versions of the Cruze. At 4,678mm, the Station Wagon is slightly longer than its stablemates, while its design features a tapered roofline with roof rails as standard. The line-up will also include a new 130bhp 1.7-litre VCDi diesel engine with start-stop technology as standard and CO2 emissions of 119g/km. Styling changes for all Cruze models include a remodeled front fascia, modified head lamp interiors and fog lamps, new wheel styles on the exterior and refinements to the centre console and a greater choice of seat finishes for the interior. "The Cruze Station Wagon caters to an important market segment. It ticks all the boxes for European drivers in terms of distinctive design, dynamic driving, space and economy," said Chevrolet Europe president Susan Docherty. |
