The next Cruze stands out from the current model by adopting a softer design loosely inspired by the larger Malibu and Impala sedans. The front fascia features a bigger version of the outgoing model’s two-part grille, while the rear end boasts mildly revised tail lamps.
Inside, the 2015 Cruze gains a host of available high-tech equipment such as Apple Siri integration and a Text Message Alerts feature that reads incoming texts through the car’s speakers. Chevrolet has not published any pictures of the interior but earlier spy shots revealed the Cruze gains a revised instrument cluster and a new steering wheel.
Select trim levels can be fitted with a seven-inch touch screen on the center stack that runs Chevrolet’s MyLink infotainment system.
Chevrolet is not making any mechanical changes, meaning the 2015 Cruze will carry on with either a 1.8-liter four-cylinder rated at 138 horsepower and 148 lb-ft. of torque, a turbocharged 1.4-liter four-banger that generates 138 ponies and 143 lb-ft. of twist or a 2.0-liter turbodiesel mill.
Following its debut in the Big Apple, the 2015 Cruze will go on sale in the United States next fall. Pricing information will be published closer to its on-sale date.
