Chevrolet Cruze Black Edition now available for sale at VND682 million

The Chevrolet Cruze Black Edition in Vietnam, with a vehicle identification number (VIN) starting from 9888xx, is available in a limited number with only 50 units on sale since this December.

Previously, Chevrolet Cruze Black Edition was introduced at the Vietnam Motor Show 2014 in late days of November in Ho Chi Minh City. The popular Cruze LTZ sedan has added sporty features such as 17-inch black wheels, a rear spoiler, a luxurious black leather interior and a black exterior.

The best-selling Chevrolet model crossed the 3-million milestone in August, just 16 months after selling its 2 millionth model. Chevrolet Cruze has proved itself a global player among small cars in over 118 countries, and US President Barack Obama has called the Cruze “the car of the future.”

In Vietnam, Chevrolet Cruze has become a favourite car model thanks to its stylish design, powerful performance, and luxurious interior.

“The most-wanted sedan now comes with sportier and outstanding black exterior and interior features that will enhance its appeal and attract customers who are looking for more style. By being limited edition, it will be a valued possession for Cruze lovers”, said Gaurav Gupta, GM Vietnam managing director.

The Cruze Black Edition comes with halogen headlamps, a four-way adjustable steering wheel, rear parking sensors, automatic air conditioning, a smart key and theft deterrent.

The cruise control system in the 2014 Cruze Black Edition automatically controls the throttle-accelerator pedal linkage so that the car maintains the set speed – even when going uphill or downhill –without the driver having to press the accelerator.

The Cruze Black Edition is powered by a 1.8L DOHC Ecotec push-start engine with Variable Valve Timing (VVT) that delivers optimal performance and efficiency.

Advanced electric cooling helps maintain the engine’s temperature for worry-free operation. The engine is mated with a six-speed automatic transmission.
