New Cruze station wagon

The Chevrolet / Holden Cruze range is set to expand with the arrival of a station wagon version.

Due to be unveiled at next month’s Geneva Motor Show, the new body style also previews some updates that’ll be applied to the existing saloon and hatchback models too. These include a restyled front fascia, revised headlights and some interior trim changes.

On the technical side, the engine line-up is going to be bolstered by the addition of new 1.4 litre turbo petrol and 1.7 litre diesel motors, while the current 2.0 litre diesel is to get a makeover. All three will be fitted with a stop-start system as standard for enhanced economy and reduced emissions, although performance and efficiency figures have yet to be released.

At 4,675 mm (15’ 4”), the Cruze station wagon is 78 mm (3”) longer than the Cruze saloon, but marginally shorter than the closely-related Vauxhall / Opel Astra Sports Tourer.

Luggage capacity is 500 litres to the window line, and that triples to 1,500 litres if the rear seats are collapsed and the car is loaded up to its roof.
