    The new wagon will feature generous storage space and a high level of standard features and safety.

The Chevrolet Cruze wagon revealed at Geneva will show up as our Holden.

The wagon will join Holden's Cruze line-up within a year, and will be imported as the third Cruze variant.

It aims to combine the practicality of a wagon with high-tech features and sporty style -- and to capitalise on the success of the Cruze sedan and hatch, which have quickly become Holden heroes The Chevrolet version makes its global premiere at the Geneva Motor Show this March.

The latest Cruze bodystyle complements sedan and hatch which have sold in excess of one million vehicles globally since the carline was launched in 2009.

The new wagon will feature generous storage space and a high level of standard features and safety.

Cruze wagon, at 4,675mm, is slightly longer than the hatch (4,510mm) and sedan (4,597mm) models. Load space ranges from 500 litres up to the window line in the rear to nearly 1,500 litres up to the roof top with the rear seats folded down.

The exterior design features a tapering single arch roofline and comes with roof racks as standard, providing convenience while maintaining a poised and sporty look. More details will be released closer to the launch date.

  • Impressive; seems to be a smart, neat looking wagon. Great paint colour too.

  • Looks great, I would consider buying one, especially if it has the new 1.6L petrol turbo that is mooted to be coming out soon in the Cruze.

  • It is almost irrelevent having a wagon version when it yields such small gains in boot capacity...

  • Has it been a slow news week, or does somebody really like the Holden Cruze?
