SHANGHAI -- The Chevrolet Cruze, a new small car, will be assembled in China in late 2009 or early 2010, say industry sources.

The car will be manufactured here starting from knockdown kits, says John Zeng, senior market analyst at Global Insight.

The Cruze will be built in multiple locations around the world, says a statement from General Motors.

The production version of the Cruze will be revealed at the Paris auto show this October.

The Cruze is based on General Motors' Delta compact car platform and will come with a 1.4 liter engine. The turbocharged four-cylinder engine is to be used in several GM vehicles worldwide.

The Cruze will seat five and will be 4.6 meters long. It will compete with the Ford Focus in the compact car segment.
