Holden Cruze CDX Diesel
The Cruze has five-star ANCAP safety

Melbourne, Australia
- Holden will add a highly specified CDX diesel variant to its
popular Holden Cruze range.
A CDX diesel in manual and automatic transmissions
will join the CD diesel, CD and CDX petrol models already on sale.
Holden’s
Executive Director Sales and Marketing, John Elsworth, said the new
diesel variant was responding to positive feedback and customer demand.
“Since
we launched in June, Cruze has really struck a chord with motorists,
selling over 6,144 units to date and market feedback has been
overwhelmingly positive,” Mr Elsworth said.
“Cruze has shot
straight into the top 10 of Australia’s best selling cars – we’re
delighted with the reception it’s getting in the marketplace.
“Cruze
offers outstanding value for money and we’re seeing many customers
opting to buy the higher specified model with the petrol powertrain.
“Diesel is proving a popular alternative so it
made sense to introduce a new model that offers the best of both worlds.
“The
high level of features offered on the CDX combined with the performance
and fuel efficiency of the diesel makes it a smart choice.
“We’ve been listening to what our customers have
been asking for and this is our response.”
The Cruze range combines five-star ANCAP safety
with exceptional ride and handling, fuel efficiency and stylish design.
Cruze
CDX diesel will offer the same specification as the petrol variant with
the addition of a tyre inflator kit. A spare wheel will be available as
a no cost option as per CD diesel models.
