Cruze wagon at end of year



The Chevrolet Cruze station wagon will arrive in Ireland towards the end of the year, offering another option to a revived dealership network for the brand in Ireland, writes Brian Byrne.

Power will be a new 1.7 diesel with 130hp output and pulling 300Nm of torque, and in Band A for Irish tax purposes.

With the rear seats down, the cargo capacity of the Cruze SW is up to 1,478 litres.

The car is currentlt on its international press launch programme in Cologne, Germany.

Chevrolet in Ireland was formerly a franchise held by the Nissan importers here, but is now directly under the control of Chevrolet UK & Ireland, a wholly owned subsidiary of GM Europe.
