Chevrolet Cruze - A New Name and a New Design for an All-New Car

DETROIT - July 9, 2008 - Chevrolet announced today that its all-new entry in the compact segment will be called Cruze. The new Chevrolet will make its global debut at the Paris Motor Show in early October.

Cruze was developed by a global design and engineering team and will be built in multiple locations around the world. The Cruze approaches an overall length of 4.6 meters and offers ample interior space and cargo capacity for five passengers, giving it an advantage over competition in the compact segment.

The Cruze features Chevrolet’s new global design language that will continue to be a signature element for future vehicles carrying the gold bowtie. Combined with high safety standards and excellent build quality, Chevrolet will again deliver on its promise of offering a very attractive, high value package.

The new Chevrolet Cruze will be available in European markets in spring 2009, followed by other global regions. For Russia, Chevrolet's largest market in Europe, the new Cruze will also be built at GM's new St. Petersburg facility, starting in summer 2009.
