The new engine is made by Fiat.
We have been talking about the Chevrolet Cruze getting a new engine since quite some time now. Now, the news is that the sedan will get a motor from the American car manufacturer’s Z Series engines. The car will get a DOHC 2.0 litres, 163 bhp common-rail oil burner.
The new motor should debut with the cosmetic changes in the front fascia. The interiors too are expected to get a minor tweaking. The interiors are expected to get a two-tone color treatment with LED illumination. It is being said that GM India will take customer feedback in account and re-design the rear seats to free up more space for head room.
The upgraded Cruze should come by 2012 end or early 2013. Currently the car is powered by a 150-bhp engine and a new and more powerful engine means even quicker acceleration. It is expected that the upgraded car will do an 8.5 second run to 100 kmph.

mclaren1885, Any idea about the mod potential on the new engine? Cant seem to find any info on that?

There have been a few remaps available on some international Fiat/Cruze forums pushing out 200-210bhp. General opinion is that the existing motor from VM Motori (who bought over Detroit Diesel) is more FTD than the Fiat mill.
Don't remember the name of the forum I used to regularly post since you formatted the phone, let me go thru my mails and see if I can find the details you need.

Tadu, here is one link i could find.
2011 vcdi 163hp version - Chevrolet Cruze Forum - Page 2
That site has a ton of info about the Cruze and I've been a regular poster there but have been missing since I lost my login details. Just look at the threads I've posted in, should also give you a lot of info about tuning boxes and DPF issues faced by others.

Why not!! the T-Jet takes ages to reach the speed of 100 i.e. around 11 secs. The new Cruze would do in 8.5. Don't you want that????
