With Holden winding up local manufacturing, it wasn’t just the Commodore that would no longer be produced in Australia. The Holden Cruze also met a similar fate, with a little over 126,000 units produced locally over five years.
Replacing the locally produced Cruze is a brand new one, built off a global architecture and the D2 platform, which is shared with the Holden Astra hatch.
When it arrives in Australia mid-year, it will be badged as the Holden Astra sedan, so we jetted off to North America’s country music capital, Nashville, Tennessee to sample the Chevrolet Cruze sedan and to find out whether it has the goods to take on Australian roads.
