Chevrolet, recognized as one of the largest automakers in the world, is in the spotlight with surprising news: the discontinuation of the Chevrolet Cruze, a beloved model in Brazil. After two decades of success in the national market, Chevrolet’s car says goodbye, marking the end of an era for the manufacturer and its Brazilian consumers.

According to data from the Auto Esporte portal, among the automaker’s cars that will say goodbye this year in 2023, the Chevrolet Cruze is one of them.

According to information released by the site, the cleanup in the automaker’s lineup will also end the duo Cruze Hatch and Sedan, which will stop being produced in Argentina later this year.

Discover the History of the Chevrolet Cruze

Since its launch in 2008, the Chevrolet Cruze has become an iconic car known for its quality, comfort, and technology. With its fascinating trajectory, the Chevrolet car won the hearts of drivers worldwide and became one of the automaker’s most popular models. It was launched as part of Chevrolet’s global strategy to align its products across different markets. The design of the Cruze was inspired by the Chevrolet Tru 140S concept showcased at the Detroit Auto Show in 2007.

The model replaced the old Vectra, which had been in the national market for over a decade. Its name was chosen to evoke the idea of crossing borders and exploring new horizons. The first generation had a more robust and imposing design, with large wheels and a striking front grille.

Chevrolet Revives Great Classics

While discontinuing the Chevrolet Cruze in the Brazilian market, Chevrolet is bringing back a classic to the Asian market. This is the classic Monza, which, converted to our currency, is priced to be sold for around 61,800 yuan, which translates to about R$ 43,000.

Visually, the model is very similar to the Onix in its rear and side profile. However, its front grille, which resembles an “X” and aligns with the headlights, references the design of the new Blazer and the Seeker coupe SUV, both also produced in China.

The LED headlights of the new Monza resemble those of the Cruze sedan. In terms of dimensions, the new Monza’s length is nearly equal to that of the Cruze, at 4.66 meters. However, it has a slightly shorter wheelbase, measuring 2.64 meters compared to the 2.70 meters of the midsize sedan sold here.
