Seems China is one of the worst places to leave your yet to be launched car uncovered. Yet another car has been undressed before its global unveiling – this time it’s the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze, which is rumoured to make its official debut at Auto China 2014 in Beijing towards the end of April. It certainly matches the spyshots that we’ve seen previously.
This time, the Chevrolet bowtie goes back to being positioned in the upper grille instead of being in the middle of a bar as with recent Chevy models. The front end is sharper and slimmer now, compared to the outgoing Cruze’s bold nose. We also see daytime running lights installed above the foglamp surround.
If you look closely at the rear fender, you’ll see a crease forming a slight pontoon above the rear wheel arch, which gives the Cruze family ties to the current Impala.
The tail lamps seen here match the ones we’ve seen in previous spyshots, and although they’re not lit up here, spy photos have revealed that they light up with a U-shape similiar to the Chevy Camaro.
We’ve also seen the interior before in spy photos, but since this is not a test mule, the dashboard seen here is a lot cleaner. Like the outgoing car, the new Cruze seems to have a colour-coded interior – this one gets a brown leather wrapped dash to match the leather seats.
How does this new design compare to the original Cruze, in your opinion?

Ford called.
They want their Focus back.
Ford said go ahead and take our outdated girl, we are happy ripping off Aston Martin now.
Is American running out of idea? Will buyers there bored of all “Aston Martin” look in their neighbourhood?
wakakaka.
Aston Martin every where, after Kia, Ford & Chevrolet this time!
Depan sudah mcm ford ikut front grill aston martin…aiyoooo
kia cerato look alike..
Sam Loo, hurry attack its RV!
Leather-wrapped dashboard? A feature like that usually only adorns much more expensive cars. The leather used probably not of the finest quality, but still a USP in this segment nonetheless.
look like korean design already, no more idea… boring
at fast glance, it looks something like focus n k3…but the interior is nice
Chevy simply take the headlamp from New Focus and put on the Cruze?

Its very sad to see that their out of idea. Cant they just hire some good designer? They can just design wisely to save cost rather than relocate the batch only to do so. But i must say i’d fall for the interior somehow. Nice color and design there.
Looks like Aston Martin -slightly shaken not stirred.
Looks fresher than the outgoing model.the down part of it the design is very much like the other competitors.where’s ur identity chevy?
Chevroford Focuze Aston Edition
As Ford goes all Aston with their products, Chevy steps in with the whole smaall top grill, large lower grill design that we are seeing in far too many cars today, que the USDM Toyotas and also our Vios, ‘pre-Aston Ford’ Ford and Hyundai. In fact if we change the badge, its basically indistinguishable from other manufecturers design.

no comments on the exterior as most of us already made an obvious point about it…but i kinda like the interior. clean design, simple yet elegant..luckily chevy didn’t copy center console design of a focus. cluttered with the small buttons
peugeot 407
I’ve never been taken-in by the current Cruze especially the front-end. I guess it’s american-centric with its loud bow-tie emblem – it never sold well locally, here.
I must say I do like this new model – it’s pleasant and most of all, inoffensive. I’ve to admit it now looks pretty generic, what with the ubiquitous Aston Martin wannabe grill!! ;)
The leather dashboard is cool, i prefer it in black.
Nothing groundbreaking with its design. Seems like they are playing it safe by following design trends rather than creating new ones. Looks better than the current one but rather surprised with the generous use of leather on its dashboard. The chrome bits in the dash looks very tacky and would reflect a lot of sunlight when driving in the sun.
interior is much better compare to current cruze
exactly like Focus, both interior and exterior
overall much better than the previous Cruze. the prev one was quite ugly.
ayooo.. the prev is the most gorgeous look for me. they’ve lost the Cruze identity in this new boring design
i think Chevrolet start make good looking car, make good appearance even though have a similarity to others manufacturer.
another car that has low resale value and poor sales in Malaysia soon.
i thought that cruze going to replaced by Malibu ?
Cruze is a C segment
Malibu is a D segment
With these two americans already here for some time, perhaps Chrysler will jump in with some Italian infused DNA motoring as well.
i think chevrolet seriously needs a stronger identity and they need to know actually having strong american influence on their designs is not a bad thing. it can even be beneficial to them.
