The Chevrolet Cruze is available in three trims – LT, LTZ manual and LTZ automatic.

Chevrolet Cruze has received a minor update after a refresh in October 2013. While the bumper and grille were redesigned last time, along with the addition of two more airbags (on higher variants), this time around, the change is minor, in the form of integrated turn indicators on the wing mirrors.

According to company claims, the efficiency of the automatic variant has also been improved in a bid to boost sales. The Cruze sedan is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine good for 165bhp. Both the automatic and manual versions use six-speed gearboxes.

The Chevrolet Cruze is available in three trims – LT, LTZ manual and LTZ automatic. Prices for the Cruze facelift are as follows:

LT - Rs 13.7 lakh

LTZ MT - Rs 15.19 lakh

LTZ AT - Rs 16.19 lakh
