Mexico became the first North American country to receive the car, going on sale as a 2010 model in late 2009. Imported from South Korea, the Cruze in Mexico replaces both the Astra (last sold in 2008) and Optra as the compact offering there. The U.S. version of the Chevrolet Cruze is scheduled to enter production in the third quarter of 2010 as a 2011 model, replacing the Chevrolet Cobalt.It will be offered in LS, LT, and LTZ trim lines. Both the 1.8 litre and the turbocharged 1.4 litre engines will be offered, coupled with either a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.
Safety equipment includes electronic stability control and ten standard airbags, including side rear-seat and front knee airbags not fitted on models produced in the original South Korea facility. North American versions also feature a redesigned rear suspension setup (see above). The Cobalt's badge engineered twin, the Pontiac G5, will not be replaced by a Cruze-based equivalent, due the Pontiac brand being phased during 2010. The Cruze will be built on the production lines that were used to build the Cobalt and Pontiac G5 in Lordstown, Ohio. Cobalt production ended in June 2010 and the Cruze will start production the following July. GM has prepared three shifts to produce the Cruze. It will arrive at dealers in September 2010, giving all dealers time to deplete their inventories of Cobalts.
