Yet to launch the Cruze in its home market, Chevrolet has still managed to sell 270,000 of them within a year and a half of its launch. The Cruze is sold in over 60 countries in addition to local variants by Daewoo and Holden in their local markets. In 2010 alone, the Cruze has sold 140,000 units. Sales of the Cruze in India are brisk too. The Cruze is the current segment leader selling close to 800 units every month. The real challenge for Chevrolet right now is to retain sales in face of growing competition, especially the recently launched Corolla Diesel. Will they do it? Waiting for few months will gives us the answer.

Hit the jump for official press release.
