Launch Report: 2015 Chevrolet Cruze
The serious contender
As one of the largest vehicle manufacturers in the world, Chevrolet took a bit of strain after the recent recession yet the American giant was blessed with perfect timing as that coincided with the launch of their new world beater – a passenger car for markets around the globe – the Chevrolet Cruze.
Launched: Volkswagen Golf SV
The brilliant plus

Tested: Mitsubishi Pajero Sport 4×2 Auto
The nippy flip

This way everyone’s happy, we won’t be exposed to our most loathed automotive segment and the resulting reviews should be relatively fair.
Launched: Hyundai i20 [2012]
