Just a month later, up to Rs. 86,000 was reduced from its price to appeal for more customers. By September, a voluntary recall program was organized by General Motors to fix the faulty ignition system for the Cruze models manufactured between 2009 and 2011.
Earlier this year, GM managed to cut down Rs. 2.45 lakh from its top-end variant as part of a special year end offer. It is safe to say that Cruze has had an eventful outing in the last few years despite GM trying to push the envelope and make it a top-seller within the Chevrolet brand, as evident from the myriad of discounts we mentioned here. However, in contrary to being a capable product, the sales were not as impressive as GM might have anticipated.
