Current Generation: (2010–present)

By the end of 2010, the Cruze will be expected to be built in the Elizabeth plant alongside the Commodore and also, the hatchback and possibly, a wagon version will be introduced. There's no word for any HSV model though.

First Generation/Origins (2009–2010)

The new Cruze began sale in Australia to replace the lacklustre Viva and the Astra. Like the Astra, the Cruze came with three trim levels, the CD, CDX and the CDX diesel. It came with 6 airbags (dual front, side and side curtain airbags) and electronic stability control and those features were lacked in other small cars on the current market. It offered class leading fuel economy of 7 litres per 100 kilometres for the petrol version and 5.6 litres per 100 kilometres for a diesel version and the CD Manual is priced at $20,990 and is directly positioned at the Toyota Corolla, Mitsubishi Lancer and the Mazda3 but it only comes in sedan form in the moment. Currently, the Cruze is imported from the Bupeyong-gu plant in South Korea.
