A Look Inside The Next Chevrolet Cruze

The next Chevrolet Cruze – at least the one sold in China – will be getting a snazzy new interior.

Along with new Ecotec engines and a 7-speed dual clutch transmission, the Cruze will get a heavily revised cabin, which looks miles ahead of the interior in our current Cruze. From the looks of it, this is one Chinese car that would be a welcome addition to the GM lineup in the United States.

    Its like someone took one of my shoes and designed a whole car interior around it, not impressed, at least it isn't gray though. The center console design is a mess though, the important buttons and knobs are undersized and shaped weirdly, while the dash directs your attention to twit and facebook your friends, forgetting the traffic ahead. I wouldn't care if the interior was still hard plastic like a stereotypical GM (seriously do people regularly massage their car interiors now?), its the design and odd shapes that bug me.

      @Old Man Pants Helps that its largely built from Daewood bits. I had the chance to pick of a Daewood VCR, wonder how many bits they re-used from their VCRs to their GM platforms.

    I like it! The seats would look much better with black inserts in them however. Overall this is SO much better then most interiors (especially GMs & Dodges) that are normally just a blanket of black or grey with random fake bits of silver or wood in them. My 350Z is all black bore-fest inside, however at least its silver bits are REAL metal.

  • Varezhka Maybe the volume was not big enough to really matter anyways, but losing a “passenger car” for a mostly “light truck” line-up should help Subaru with their CAFE numbers too.
  • Varezhka For this category my car of choice would be the CX-50. But between the two cars listed I’d select the RAV4 over CR-V. I’ve always preferred NA over small turbos and for hybrids THS’ longer history shows in its refinement.
  • AZFelix I would suggest a variation on the 'fcuk, marry, kill' game using 'track, buy, lease' with three similar automotive selections.
  • Formula m For the gas versions I like the Honda CRV. Haven’t driven the hybrids yet.
  • SCE to AUX All that lift makes for an easy rollover of your $70k truck.
