- Cruze goes from strength to strength as it scoops fourth award in the Middle East
Middle East – Chevrolet Cruze has been awarded its fourth industry accolade in the Middle East, with Wheels magazine naming it Best Small Saloon Car. The Wheels award follows wins of Best Small Saloon Car in the Middle East Arab Motor Awards (2010), Best Value for Money by Automobile Magazine and Future TV (2010), and Best Small Car from Middle East Car magazine (2009).
The Wheels award was presented at a ceremony last week, after the editorial team of the magazine – a sister publication of Gulf News – recognized Cruze as best in its class. All nominated cars for the Wheels awards, which were introduced last year, had to be launched for sale in 2010.

Internationally, the Cruze has received many other awards, including a 5-star safety rating in EuroNCAP and AUTOBEST “best buy” in 2010, as well as winning the World Touring Car Championship (WTCC)” said John Stadwick, President and Managing Director of General Motors Middle East Operations. “Cruze has achieved outstanding sales results in 2010 with sales reaching 7,387 units in 2010 in the Middle East.
