GM unveiled the all new Cruze at the Fillimore Theatre in Detroit today. With different dimensions (68mm longer and 25mm lower) and a sleeker design, the 2016 Cruze also comes with new engines - the 1.6-litre Ecotec diesel and the 1.4-litre turbopetrol are the ones that are important for India where it will most likely be showcased at the Auto Expo next year. A new line of variants has also been introduced - L, LS, LT, Premier and RS. Scroll down to get a closer look at all that the top-end RS variant packs.
The new Chevrolet boasts a sleeker design than before
The new Cruze has a dual port grille flanked by sweptback headlamps - the top end models get projectors surrounded by LED elements along with LED DRLs
While the upholstery is done in French stitching, there is an option for heated leather seats
The cabin still has the dual-cockpit theme which now gets soft touch surfaces and has a mix of matt black as well as glossy piano black textures. While in the US it will be mated to a 6-speed automatic, it is likely to come with a manual gearbox here in India
The MyLink screen in the centre is new and comes in a 7-inch colour touchscreen configuration which supports navigation, Bluetooth and can also connect some of your smartphone's features with those of the car
GM says that the car has a drag coefficient of 0.29. Contributing to the aerodynamics is the integrated spoiler on the boot lid and the separate pods for the reflectors
The new Cruze is also 68mm longer and 25mm lower overall than before. This has led to an increase in cabin space over its rivals like the Volkswagen and the Hyundai. Note the tasty alloy wheels
The new 155PS 1.4-litre turbopetrol Ecotec engine
The India-spec Cruze will most likely get the 1.6-litre Ecotec diesel and the 1.4-litre turbopetrol
