The Chevrolet Cruze was first introduced locally in 2009 and in 2012, the American sedan model received an update that included refreshed exterior styling, interior refinement and even new drivetrain options. A mere five years later, not only was it the end of the Cruze model locally, but the entirety of the Chevrolet line-up as General Motors closed down its operations in South Africa.
Now if you are one of the lucky few that managed to get your hands on one of the capable Chevrolet Cruze sedans, you might want to modernize the styling a bit or bolster functionality. Luckily you are still able to do so, however, will have to order the accessories from the parent company in the United States of America via its accessories portal.
1. Bike carrier
Optionally available is a Thule bicycle carrier that mounts to the tow bar. The carrier is finished in silver and is capable of carrying up to two bicycles simultaneously. The Thule carrier, made with lightweight aluminium, comes with an integrated cable lock and is capable of tilting forward for easy access to the luggage compartment.
2. Foglamps
Continuing on the functional theme, why not consider fitting foglamps to the front of your Chevrolet Cruze? Not only does it bolster the front styling of your vehicle but also help other drivers see your vehicle on the road. The biggest benefit of fitting foglamps is that it improves visibility while driving in low light or inclement weather.
3. Bonnet deflector
A bonnet deflector is once again one of those accessories that both improve on the exterior styling by adding a more rugged look. But also it helps protect the paint on the bonnet and even windshield from low flying rocks or debris while driving at speed. This item is definitely one of the cheaper accessories, however, can save you lots of money in paint repairs in the long run.
4. Window deflectors
Ever wanted to open a window slightly to allow fresh air into the cabin while it is raining? Well, the window deflectors, available for both the front and rear windows of the Chevrolet Cruze will allow you to do just that. Not only will it effectively deflect a majority of the wind and reduce noise, but will also keep water drops from entering the cabin, soaking passengers or the seats.
5. Interior trim kit
Speaking of seats and trim, Chevrolet offers an optional interior trim kit that updates the material facia. While retaining the same overall design, the optional trim piece comes in an Optic Check pattern. This might come in handy if your trim is scratched or crack, however, as a standalone upgrade will also extra flair of refinement and personalization to the cabin.
6. Spoiler kit
What if you want to add a bit of sportiness to the exterior styling? Well, the American automaker offers an aftermarket spoiler kit that can be attached to the boot lid of your Cruze. The flush-mounted spoiler comes in a variety of colour options so that you can match it to the original body colour of your vehicle.
