Chevrolet turns to diesel

Formatted and completed text.Chevrolet has made the decision to add a diesel variant to the Cruze line-up in North America for 2013.

The diesel will add to Chevrolet’s green credentials. It will join the Cruze Eco, which, according to Chevrolet, is already the most efficient petrol engine car on sale in America.

The Cruze has been a sales success so far. Chevrolet’s compact-car segment market share has risen from 9.5 percent to 11.9 percent in the first five months of 2011.

Chevrolet fans will wonder whether this is the start of a move towards more diesel powered cars coming into Chevrolet’s line-up.
