MELBOURNE: 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.
