Holden/Chevrolet is soon release a sports version of Cruze, which is named SS. The car will compete directly against hot hatchbacks like the Mazda3 MPS and the VW Golf GTi. The vehicle will be offered in both body styles with four and five-doors. Because, Holden is the Australian “Chevrolet”, Cruze SS will be the same like the Cruze Z-Spec Concept, which was unveiled at the 2010 SEMA Motor Show.
Holden Cruze will be powered by Opel Astra’s engine and to match the competition, probably, it will be a 2.0 liter turbocharged petrol with 290PS (213 kW). For maximum performance, Cruze SS will also have a sport-tuned suspension and a revised steering system. This Holden Cruze SS is expected to be exhibited at the Australian International Motor Show and hopefully to be launched later this year.
