CHEVROLET will pull the wraps off the new Cruze at the Geneva Motor Show next month.

The newcomer brings extra practicality to the Cruze, which already has one of the biggest load areas in its class, with new levels of style to match its versatility.

With its sweeping coupe roofline and short front and rear overhangs, it enjoys the same stance as the saloon model, but with greater sleekness.

It will also be offered with a new range of engines, with the range-topping diesel unit the same as that of the newly-launched Orlando, with 163PS and a standard six-speed manual gearbox.

It goes on sale in the summer, with prices and specifications to be confirmed nearer the time.
