thanx man for the info
Awesome ............. i hope petrol comes in 11 lakh bracket

[hillram]

Awesome useful information...any chance to see the pics for the Indian version

[JayD]

Great scoop sid! So does this signal the end of the road for the magnum??

[Fountainheader]

The diesel indeed has 150 ps ? Read in the other thread that it was only 125.

Great stuff as usual sidindica. Maybe you should change your id to Scooperman

[deepakhon]

Awesome scoop again Sid!
BTW, is this your full-time job?

[pulsar56]

Awesome scoop. The Optra replacement is finally here!
Good to see ABS as standard!
No airbags even as an option?

[ahuja365]

No automatic transmission

[Axe77]

Is this ex - showroom Delhi?
[price band expected:Rs. 13 lakh to Rs. 16 lakh]

[SMK]

IMO this is overpriced! That too from a brand which is not doing too well in India.
The same specification Cruze is available here in Australia through Holden and is priced below $24k.

[prince_pervez]

Awesome scoop as usual Sid. The price bracket is also quite tempting. But replacement for the optra ? I doubt.

[mjothi]

Nicely priced. Fully fully loaded.

1 doubt

• interior colour: grey and pearl white*

Pearl white? Is it first in this segment?

[sidindica]

dual airbags are standard. Request to mods to kindly add "dual airbags" in safety section.

The leather upholstery is supposed to be in some white color in addition to grey interior plastics.

[1-Testosterone]

Awesome. I think this will go up against Laura and Sonata CRDI. Even if the fully loaded model comes at around 15L, it's still value for money. Finally, GM India is bringing some heat prior to the launch of BEAT.

This is exactly what the interior color combination will look like- 2 tone grey it seems.Of course, navigation will not be standard.
